OSU Bullets

• OSU AD Chad Weiberg was quoted yesterday saying OSU wants to continue playing OU in everything but football – here’s some commentary around that sentiment

• A handful of Pokes made first-team All Big 12 on the AP team

• Not a bad list of replacement ideas from the Oklahoman’s Jenni Carlson:

When he hired (Jim) Knowles, (Mike) Gundy said he thought defensive line coach Joe Bob Clements would have made an excellent coordinator. Clements is still a Cowboy assistant, and considering the success his defensive line has had, maybe he’s ready to lead the defense.

Or perhaps Gundy can lure more of an up-and-comer because of the players already on the roster. Coastal Carolina’s Chad Staggs or Houston’s Doug Belk or Texas-San Antonio’s Rod Wright could be possibilities.

There are also a few familiar names to remember. Longtime TCU coach and defensive mastermind Gary Patterson is out of a job. So is Todd Orlando, who was at USC before Lincoln Riley arrived.

• Plenty of DC chatter (amidst B12 Championship Game talk) in the latest “Feels like ’45” podcast

• Go ahead and send your significant other this link to help finish off your Christmas shopping

• Hear from John Smith and Co. ahead of Sunday’s Bedlam Dual

• Woof – Jelani Woods made this “All-Transfer” team at tight end. Pokes really could have used him early in the season with WR injuries.

• Jim Knowles won’t be back next year but four-star defensive lineman Collin Clay sure will be.
