Three Thoughts

• With today’s Bedlam game being postponed (OSU COVID-19 concerns), reminiscing over the Robisch -> Mason bomb is worth your time.

H/t to OKC Dave for linking the TulsaWorld article from the game on Twitter.

• J.W. Walsh is back in Stillwater as a coach – seems like the ideal path for the Walshing Machine is for Tim Rattay to get called back up to the pros then a bump to the QB coach role

• Seeing new players get to OSU is fun – one of my favorite OSU sports memories or traditions has been walking into GIA for a non-conference game excited to see new basketball players.

Two Quotes

• Mike Boynton spoke well of Cade Cunningham’s desire to enjoy the moment and work hard at Oklahoma State – something that’s probably difficult when you’re about to be a millionaire.

“…(Cunningham) doesn’t want to waste an opportunity to get better. He doesn’t want to look up in May and be like, man, the draft is around the corner, I need to get to work. Nah, there’s 10 months here you can really, really invest in yourself and find a way to maximize what you have right in front of you right now.”

[The Athletic $$$]

• How will Cowboy Football fare with name/image/likeness changes coming? I suspect the rich will get richer but OSU will compete and hold their spot in the upper middle. Berry T. talks about NIL here.

Spoke to a veteran college coach today who predicts more college coaches head to the NFL to avoid the seismic changes coming with NIL and the transfer rules. "Every college coach right now is somehow, someway aspiring to go to the NFL."

One Question

• What’s the ratio for enjoyment of Bedlam wins when you compare football to basketball: one Bedlam football win is equal to six Bedlam basketball wins?

Non-OSU Bullets

• I love getting rid of stuff (NYT)
• Adding shooters hasn’t fixed Ben Simmons’ offense

One of the few times I’ll post politically (note: I’m not taking a side) but about the concept of political partiality – seemingly a key quality in 2021:

The problem with political partiality—like any form of partiality—is, it produces a more hateful and violent culture. It doesn’t rejoice in truth, it rejoices in tribes.
