OSU Bullets

• Three burning questions as OSU opened fall camp (yesterday) (PFB)

• Missed this last week – Ethan Holliday agreed to a high school player record-breaking $9m signing bonus with the Rockies. This was $800k more than the No. 1 pick got and $801k more than his older brother got in 2022 (MLB)

• Not sure how I missed this nugget from a Bill Haisten piece, but it’s worth noting someone’s projection to be OSU’s starting quarterback:

On Sept. 6, (Dante) Moore is expected to be the Oregon starter while Hjeny is expected to be OSU’s QB1.

• Boone Pickens Stadium snuck into this top 25 of college football stadiums (USA Today)

• Two classic Big 12 venues beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Boone Pickens and The Jones are perfect examples of great college football stadiums that don’t have to seat 80k+ to be great. That 60k attendance number is pretty perfect IMO. https://t.co/Ilug2bHEOn pic.twitter.com/pmxeFOxGJW

Non-OSU Bullets

• Solid idea in “Give yourself a ripcord to pull” • In a similiar vane, braiding the bitter and sweet in marriage

I think this is the popular take if you’re a “midwest” person, if you’re “southwest”, I think the answer flips. 

Unpopular opinion: 20° with snow is better than 95° and humid
