Daily Bullets (Aug. 6): Pokes Ranked to Start 2024 Season, Cowboy Golf in the Olympics

Thanks for stopping by – here’s your daily dose of Oklahoma State sports news.

OSU Bullets

• The Cowboys were listed just inside the top 20 in the preseason Coaches Poll (PFB)

• OSU is set up for a quicker start this year with all the returning experience – specifically along the offensive line  (PFB + PFB)

• Update from the Olympics – here’s how the former Cowboys did in golf: 

Former Poke Wyndham Clark used some closing speed to earn a top-15 finish at this year’s 2024 Olympics.

Clark fired off back-to-back rounds of 65 to finish in a tie for 14th in Paris.

He was the top finisher among the four former Cowboys at the event. He was joined by Viktor Hovland (t-30th), Kris Ventura (t-43rd) and Alex Noren (t-45th).

• Ollie Gordon was named to the Maxwell Award watchlist (PFB)

• Fun concept – put on orange colored light bulbs the night before a football game if you live in Stillwater (X)

• More pass attempts than anybody returning:

Non-OSU Bullets

• This smoked steak queso looks amazing (Facebook)

• Finished John Grisham’s latest read – it was just alright, perfect for summer time though

As a 90s kid, there was something triggering about this:
