Three Thoughts

• OSU’s new staff has sent out some of its first offers to high school prospects (PFB)

• Go Navy! Late decision cost the Sooners (ESPN)

• Wondering if this will tip the Cowboys’ hand – Doug Meacham has historically thrived with a dual-threat quarterback. 

But Meacham’s trends, along with Gundy’s historical tendencies, suggest a quarterback who can run will be the best option for the Cowboy offense going forward.

• Not OSU specific but I love this take about sports: 

And honestly a more macro problem in college football is nobody stops to smell the roses on anything. It’s all about the playoff and your place in the world as every non blue blood worries about an existential crisis and arms race. Last night was fun. Try to enjoy it a bit. https://t.co/aBZ5Tve6Mc

One Question

• What are your expectations for the Cowboys’ Big 12 opener on Monday against Houston? 

Oklahoma State’s Big 12 opener in GIA vs Houston on Monday night is going to be a strong indicator on how much this team has grown/learned in the non conference. Do we have a fighting chance to compete with the top half of the Big 12 or are we in for a long few months?

Bedlam…

Non-OSU Bullets

• Curiosity beats criticism

• Deep thoughts here – did Jesus truly leave heaven when he came to earth? (faith-based)

“In my whole life I’ve never been good at something I wasn’t very interested in. It just doesn’t work. There’s no substitute for strong interest.”
