Daily Bullets (Jan. 1): Happy New Year, Cowgirls Drop League-Opener

Happy New Year from the crew at Pistols Firing – here’s to hoping for at least triple the football wins and a March Madness trip. 

OSU Bullets

• Previews – looking ahead at Saturday’s game against Texas Tech,  five questions ahead of tomorrow’s portal opening (PFB)

• Cowgirls dropped their league-opener against the Lady Bears, 68-77 (OKState.com)

• Interesting tidbit around Eric Morris’ first staff: 

The only staff members not arriving directly from UNT are Mike O’Guin (who spent the past three seasons at Texas State and worked with defensive coordinator Skyler Cassity at Texas Tech in 2019) and (Nick) Edwards (who played with Morris for two seasons at Texas Tech). [TulsaWorld]

• Which Cowboys are headed to the NFL Playoffs? (PFB)

• Wrestling phenom and Cowboy signee Jax Forrest is headed to Stillwater early (PFB)

• John Calipari said some really thoughtful stuff about the transfer portal here:

John Calipari is right on this — allow one player transfer, after that, you have to sit out a year to transfer. We have guys playing for four different teams in four years. It’s beyond ridiculous and bad for the sport: pic.twitter.com/Tt7W4f8enj
