Daily Bullets (Jan. 4): Significant OSU Receiver Hits the Portal, Tramel Weighs in on Gundy Response

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

OSU Bullets

• Woof – an OSU beat writer is reporting that receiver John Paul Richardson is in the transfer portal

• Outside of TCU making the title game, it’s been a tough bowl season for the Big 12

• Berry Tramel had a great point about Mike Gundy’s harsh response to being asked about him making any potential staff moves:

If anyone thought the staff might stay status quo, those hopes were squashed by Gundy. He responded exactly like a coach who knows an announcement is coming. 

If sleepless nights (for OSU coaches) resulted from the (Marshall) Scott/Gundy exchange, it wasn’t caused by the question, it was caused by the answer.

• Commentary from John Smith after the Southern Scuffle win

• The Guaranteed Rate Bowl gave a pretty solid preview of the next defensive backfield at Oklahoma State

• Nice for the Pokes to get their first league win. If you can win as many as you lose in league play, that’s a team in the Big Dance.

Non-OSU Bullets

• Could you imagine an NCAA Tournament with 90 teams?
• It was truly an epic set of CFP games last weekend

The biggest generator of long-term results is learning to do things when you don’t feel like doing them.

Completely normal stuff outta OKC last night.

Thunder just broke their franchise record for points scored in a game in history.

The rebuilding Thunder without SGA just scored more points vs the team with the best record in the NBA than KD, Russ and Harden ever did.

Incredible.
