Daily Bullets (Jan. 8): SMU Additions, Mestemaker is Worth It

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

Scores

WBB: TCU 69, Cowgirls 61

OSU Bullets

•  Couple of nice additions for the Pokes – Cowboys added Sooner offensive tackle Jacob Sexton yesterday, a solid piece if he can stay healthy (PFB), to go along with Billy Walton III, a blue-chip recruit from SMU that plays on the edge (PFB + On3)
– Bonus: OSU now has a kicker on the roster after adding one from SMU – it appears he grew up a Cowboy fan also (PFB)

• Fun article where Marshall Scott pitches two fun ideas to fix college football – preseason bowl games and regional relegation (PFB)

• Berry Tramel looked at Drew Mestemaker’s price tag and asked if he’s worth it. Spoiler – yes. 

The Cowboys have been trying to win games with poor quarterback play. Not a good plan in the 21st century.

Thus, the hope that new coach Eric Morris can change things, with his North Texas quarterback, Messiah Mestemaker, who comes to Stillwater at quite the cost but who will be well worth it if he’s the real deal. [TulsaWorld]

•  Cowgirl Basketball dropped to 2-2 in Big 12 play with a loss in Ft. Worth last night (PFB) 

• This graphic has Cowboy Nolan McLean as the best pitching prospect in baseball (X)

• Previewing Pokes in the NFL postseason (PFB)

• Caption: Life before Eric Morris and Drew Mestemaker. 

There have been 349 P4 vs P4 games in college football this season. Indiana and Oregon are responsible for six of the top 10 margins of victory.
