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

Wrestling: OSU 31, Pitt 6

Three Thoughts

• OSU looked like a team that has an outside shot of going .500 against Baylor and looked like a team soon to be shouting “1, 2, 3, Cancun!” against Texas Tech – how will the Pokes look against Iowa State tonight in Ames? (PFB)

• Former Cowboy Jabbar Muhammad is back in the transfer portal – have to assume he’s headed to Alabama with his former coach but man it would be fun to have him back in Stillwater (247 Sports + Yahoo Sports)

• Let’s look at Jaden Nixon’s stats – doesn’t it seem like AJ Green is in Stillwater to replace this guy?

50 carries for 197 yards and one touchdown, 12 catches for 123 yards and one touchdown, 11 kickoff returns for 230 yards

One of the more versatile players in Oklahoma State’s offense, Nixon played backup to Ollie Gordon all season.

Two Quotes

• It appears (per Robert Allen) the Pokes are adding a young defensive back from North Texas:

RA is reporting on radio that #okstate is getting North Texas transfer DB Christian Hurd.

The 5’9, 192lb Safety is from Katy, TX (Paetow HS) and did not record any snaps at UNT this past year (freshman).

2 Time All District in HS. 27 tackles and 2 picks his senior year.

One Question

• The softball Cowgirls open the season a top-15 team – are they the second-most fun OSU team to watch?

Non-OSU Bullets

• What to do before the arctic blast arrives
• Two years ago, the OKC Thunder lost a game by an NBA-record 73 points – Thursday night they beat an NBA team by 62 points – that’s how far they’ve come in two years
