Daily Bullets (Feb. 16): Pokes Beat Top-Ten Virginia Tech on the Road, Cowboys, Cowgirls Wrap Up Tough Pre-Season Settings

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

OSU Bullets

•  The Pokes took care of a top-10 Virginia Tech squad on the road yesterday as the Cowboys’ ace at 133 beat another phenom:

That marks (Jax) Forrest’s fifth date, meaning if he wrestles again, his redshirt is gone. Ronnie Ramriez is in the same boat, so whichever guy runs out against Iowa next weekend is almost certainly OSU’s guy for the postseason. [PFB]

• Cowgirl Softball finished the weekend in Florida, going 3-2 against all ranked opponents (X)

•  After losing to Arkansas and OU in the first two games, Josh Holliday’s squad got things turned around with an 11-1 win over Vanderbilt yesterday (PFB + OKState.com)

• Eric Morris was one of four coaches CBS Sports gave an “A” grade (CBS Sports) • PFF keeps revealing their top-rated transfers by position, and the Pokes keep popping up group by group – linebackers and cornerbacks recently (PFF)

• Pokes falling a little further behind in Bracketology:

• K-State fired head men’s basketball coach Jerome Tang yesterday, $19M buyout if nothing negotiated down • God is glad to forgive you (faith-based)
