Daily Bullets (Dec. 31): Brennan Presley Joins List of Cowboys Returning for 2024

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

OSU Bullets

• Brennan Presley is returning to OSU in 2024. The Cowboys will run it back with their top rusher and their top receiver. [PFB]

• Not saying this was his motivation but would be a pretty cool honor if he stays healthy next season.

Brennan Presley needs 69 receptions next season to hold the #OKState record for most career receptions.

I’d say that’s doable (considering he caught 101 passes this season). https://t.co/h7ktSkV4Vu pic.twitter.com/kSy676z5tK

• Wow, the thinnest of margins.

So far, 17 P5 teams have won 10+ games this season.

Oklahoma State allowed more points per game (28.6) than any of them and scored fewer points per game (29.6) than all of them, except Iowa.

Winning 10 games with a +1.0 point differential is incredible.

• This is a great read on Israeli Lior Garzon, starting forward for the Cowgirls, and how she’s found a way to focus on hoops despite everything that’s going on at home.

However, more than a third of the way through the season, she’s found herself enjoying the season. She’s drawn strength from feeling added purpose. “I think my mind right now is (thinking) this is the best way I can represent Israel, just showing how strong we are and nobody can actually kill our spirit,” she said.

Non-OSU Bullets

• Joel Klatt emptied the tank on what the issues he sees with college football. I don’t think he’s completely crazy. What do you think?

in CFB the following things as they are currently playing out are completely unsustainable or not working
– No Commish or Central governing structure
– NIL Collectives
– XFR Portal
– Bowl Season
– CFP committee
– Scheduling
– Calendar
AND STILL, CFB has never been more popular

• I don’t go in much for New Year’s resolutions, but if you’re planning on some (or one), this is possibly a better way to go about it. [The Atlantic]
