Daily Bullets (Dec. 18): More Coaches Added, Pokes Back in Action

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

OSU Bullets

• Two position coaches were announced yesterday – a receivers coach from the ACC and a former Cowboy coming back to coach defensive linemen (PFB)

• The Pokes will try to start another win streak tonight, taking on Kansas City at Gallagher-Iba (PFB)

• OSU announced the formation of an NIL alliance for OSU players yesterday – Wisconsin announced something similar if you want to compare (PFB)

• OSU added another 2026 quarterback to their current recruiting class (PFB)

• Doug Gottlieb announced he’s taking a break from his radio show to focus on coaching college baksetball (PFB)

• Really thought it would have been more satisfying to see OU referred to as “cockroaches” on a national stage, but somehow it’s a positive (WSJ)

•  This is a bummer to see Nuku Mafi in the portal – Garret Rangel is back in the portal as well.

Non-OSU Bullets

• Seeing how Jon Sumrall is managing two football teams (Tulane and Florida) at once 

• Fun webpage – you can scroll down and see every cast member of SNL

What a fun idea – so much infrastructure has to be in place but there’s no doubt you couldn’t find a Group of Five school willing to take on the challenge:

Someone said Mr. Beast should do a video where he pays for a G5 team to win a National Championship and I actually think that’s a genius idea that would fascinate sports fans everywhere
