OSU Bullets

• With signing day coming up, Jenni Carlson says the Pokes are in on a four-star junior college offensive tackle (another Aussie) – get after it Charlie Dickey

• Pokes finished the season in the top 25 (in one poll)

• Mike Gundy made a short list for replacing Gus Malzahn at Auburn –
a: not happening, Auburn’s going for Hugh Freeze or Steve Sarkisian
b: I like Mike Gundy. Like Mike Gundy so much that I’ll probably name a dog after him at some point. But Auburn wants to beat Alabama and Mike’s not the guy for that job.

Also – sign me up for this trade:

• This is why Dillon Stoner is the GOAT of all role players – had a clear gripe to be featured in his later years but never grumbled.

Bummer here: if you watch the video, Stoner notes this was his last game as a Poke 🙁 I’ve been holding out he’d take the free COVID year but that doesn’t appear to be the case.

Stoner was a playmaker when there were opportunities, but Cowboy QBs Taylor Cornelius and Spencer Sanders typically would look first for Wallace. It would be ridiculous to criticize any quarterback for prioritizing Wallace; he’s only one of the best players in program history.

There have been moments, however, when passes were forced in Wallace’s direction at the same time that Stoner was running free in the middle of the field.

A classy athlete, Stoner never publicly groused about his role. He probably never groused at all.

• Berry Tramel has the Pokes finishing the year at No. 3 in the league in his power rankings

• Chuba Hubbard had a touching goodbye message for the Cowboy faithful

• A winter wonderland.

• Dan Bailey – started as a supernova but landing in the “top-ten of all time” territory. It’s hard to imagine him hanging in the top-ten with more games like yesterday.

Non-OSU Bullets

• Hoping this isn’t political but I’m excited a vaccine is going out today
• Thunder have been busier (making trades) than any NBA team ever
• The comfortable-misery syndrome
