OSU Bullets

• A little 4th of July theatrics – a safety from Houston will make his decision today and has OSU in his top-six (PFB)

• Love thinking about who OSU’s new rival is – terrific piece by Marshall Scott here looking at OSU’s top three candidates (PFB)

• Another benefit of Rickie Fowler’s win Sunday in Detroit – he could have played his way into the Ryder Cup:

I don’t make the rules and I don’t make the picks, but it would now be absolutely shocking if Fowler is not on the Ryder Cup team in September.

• Bill Haisten talked about how OU and Arkansas could develop a rivalry – it feels like this would make so much more sense for OSU and Arkansas (TulsaWorld)

• I’m not sure who Kelley Ford is or how credible his rankings are but 74% odds that OSU will win six or fewer games this year isn’t brilliant – looping in K-State (number three) to OSU (number eight) in his rankings is:

I’m going to relish the Big 12 in 2023. The numbers say Texas and Oklahoma will meet in Arlington. My gut tells me one, if not both, of them will stumble too many times along the way. I think someone from KSU at #3 to OSU at #8 will make a run. But who? https://t.co/c5MuzaFnnV pic.twitter.com/5ECP5kegDB

Non-OSU Bullets

• 40 rules for a good life
• There’s something fun about these four schools being excited about joining the Big 12 (NewsOK)

Top five US war movies (in my opinion):

1. Saving Private Ryan
2. Thin Red Line
3. The Patriot
4. The Great Escape
5. Apocalypse Now
