Daily Bullets (Dec. 30): Jason Taylor Undecided, What the Pokes Need in the Portal

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

OSU Bullets

• Cowboy safety Jason Taylor is undecided about his future – could go to the NFL Draft or come back for one more year in Stillwater

• Cowgirl Basketball announced a midyear transfer yesterday, a former McDonald’s All-American

• Bill Haisten’s closing thought after the bowl game surely mimics Gundy’s thoughts moving forward:

It’s obvious, though, that Gundy has to find a veteran quarterback in the portal and somehow, some way has to oversee improvement on the Oklahoma State offensive line. The best of Gundy’s offenses began with excellent blocking, and OSU’s blocking hasn’t been consistently excellent for a long time.

• Mike Gundy had some strong words for PFB’s head guy after a routine question was asked. Here’s a national media member weighing in on the subject.. You may not be aware of the history of Gundy/PFB but here’s a good synopsis:

Pistols Firing, a website popular among OSU fans, had its credentials revoked in 2020 because of Gundy’s stance on blogs. Scott was not a full-time employee of the site then but attended availability sessions, and he was allowed to cover games starting last year.

• Carson and Colby filmed the 500th episode of the PFB podcast breaking down the bowl game

• Loved this jab by TCU’s Sonny Dykes on the difficulty of the Big 12 schedule relative to the SEC

• Big key to OSU’s success next year – good insight here on how the Pokes compete with teams more gifted in the trenches:

“These findings suggest that what might seem small when we are deciding whether or not to do something nice for someone else could matter a great deal to the person we do it for. Given that these warm gestures can enhance our own mood and brighten the day of another person, why not choose kindness when we can?”
