OSU Bullets

• Pokes lost a heartbreaker in overtime to a top-ten Baylor team – Good summary of the overtime

• Fun deal for DFW folks – Cowboy Baseball fresh off a massive series win over Vanderbilt heads to Arlington to play Sam Houston State tonight

• Not much of a betting man but here’s a reason to take Viktor Hovland to win at Augusta National:

Viktor Hovland, a 22-1 long shot, makes a strong run at the title. He’s a target for anyone looking for a huge payday. Hovland is one of the most confident golfers on tour right now. That’s because the 25-year-old Norwegian secured his third career PGA Tour victory at the World Wide Technology Championship earlier this season.

• Mason Rudolph would be the starter if the season started today for the Pittsburgh Steelers

• Trace Ford got bigggg (stronger) in his redshirt year recovering from ACL surgery:

• High praise here for Cowboy Wrestling fans – could imagine they were instrumental in the late match surge for the Pokes. Here are five thoughts from the Bedlam win to boot.

Granted COVID has been a factor in recent years, but yesterday was the best Oklahoma State dual environment I’ve seen since the Iowa dual in 2019. Fans really brought it.

• So good. Expert-level teasing here by OSU staff on the head man, athletic director Chad Weiberg:

When you’re the Boss & finally turn the BIG 5-0!
Happy birthday Chad Weiberg! #GoPokes

Non-OSU Bullets

• The OKC Thunder’s surging defensive identity
•

This seems like a worthwhile endeavor/good way of going about it:

Trying to teach my kids:

2 ways to learn:

1. Ignore others; insist on making your own mistakes

2. Pay close attention to others (including by reading) & learn from their mistakes

Both work, but 1 is far slower, more expensive & painful.
