OSU Bullets

• Out goes Jelani Woods, in comes a graduate transfer offensive lineman

• Mike Boynton is here to talk us off the ledge after an 0-2 start to Big 12 play:

“… You’re talking about two one-possession games. We’re not getting run out of anyone’s gym. We’re not not competing. But that’s not the goal; the goal is to win.”

[PFB]

• According to an Oklahoma reporter, Tylan Wallace is playing in the Cheez-It Bowl – Dillon Stoner confirms he’s done after the bowl game:

• The PFB pod on the bowl game and Jelani’s transfer with Carson and Colby is an hour long – perfect for your holiday travels

• A couple of Pokes showed up on PFF’s All-American team

• Nice touch here by Mike Gundy, giving up some practice time for players to spend extra time at home with family around the bowl game (jokes that the Cowboys need the practice are welcome)

• This hypothetical 24 team playoff would be fun – more fun if the Pokes were playing Coastal Carolina for a shot at Texas A&M from their No. 21 spot:

Non-OSU Bullets

• Millennials – the burnout generation
• Following mediocre leaders (faith-based)

This is an interesting comment from author James Clear:

“I have a suspicion that most adults (75%+) could pick any area—excluding perhaps sports and music—and work their way into the top 10% in the world simply by working exclusively on it every day for two years.

But almost nobody displays that degree of focus, so we will never know.”
