OSU Bullets

• Yesterday was a big day for former OSU golfers – fan-favorite Rickie Fowler won the Rocket Mortgage Classic (first win since 2019) and Talor Gooch won the LIV event

• CBS’ Jerry Palm doesn’t have the Pokes in his first NCAA bracket prediction (CBS Sports)

• Tough day for Boynton and Eric Dailey Jr. – the US lost to the Turkish (Turkanians?) in the third-place game (PFB)

Turkey defeats USA in the third place game of the U19 World Cup. Led from start to finish and were clearly the better team. Bigger, smarter, more skilled, better organized. Big wakeup call for USA Basketball. Will have to recruit and prepare better. Talent gap has been erased. pic.twitter.com/OqA5UJbsoE

• This 6’2″ edge rusher from Lawton Eisenhower sounds like a Mike Gundy special – soft-spoken Samoan who was the best player on a two-win team last year (NewsOK)

• Sweet pic of Rickie and fans:

This is a pretty cool shot. pic.twitter.com/SMJZv7dbYS

Non-OSU Bullets

• Recapping the big weekend of NBA free agency
• Sign me up for the total basketball concept OKC is building with another big point guard – it’s like they really enjoyed having Schroder, Chris Paul, and SGA together and shaped the team on the concept

Watched this WW II movie on Apple+ over the weekend – terrific movie, Tom Hanks nails it:
