Pokes play in Salt Lake City today, taking on a beatable Utah squad 

Three Thoughts

• One thing OSU lacked last fall was star power… anywhere. CBS Sports rated all three members of the North Texas’ offensive trio in their top-100 players – overhauling one of FBS’ worst defenses will impact the win total, but bringing this trio alone is reason to believe the team will get back to .500… minimum. (CBS Sports)

• Cowboy Wrestling dominated Northern Iowa last night – 34-3 (OKState.com)

• As much fun as it would have been to see Jim Knowles come to Stillwater with Eric Morris’ offense (and bring his Penn State edge rusher with him)  – Skylar Cassity and his crew inspire confidence based on what they did last year at North Texas. 

Simply put, Cassity fielded enough drive-killers for North Texas to get by last year, and his first haul in Year 1 in Stillwater is a damn good start at replicating those takeaways in what’ll be a crash course for Oklahoma State’s defense this spring. [HCS]
Two Quotes

• Cowboy Hockey won a late-night game at Happy Valley Thursday night:  

• Bill Haisten highlighted Bryce Thompson’s climb to pro basketball; the Cowboy seems to have a place in the NBA’s minor league. 

One Question

• Still can’t get over OSU landing such a talented quarterback – is Mestemaker a bigger deal than landing Bobby Reid? 

Non-OSU Bullets

• How to stay happy in the cold – borrowing ideas from other countries

• Why is there a tiny hole on coffee cup lids?

• Channel your inner Brad Pitt (from F1) and run a half-marathon on a Ferrari course in Italy
