OSU Bullets

• This article lists Boone Pickens Stadium as one of the more underrated football stadiums in college football

• Missed this fun piece from late last week – looking at who the next commitments for Cowboy Football could be

• This sounds completely ideal – alumni giving funds for athletes to receive compensation for advertising for non-profits. Love it, Pokes!

“We’re different than most NIL collectives because we offer opportunities for All OSU recruited and walk-on athletes,” (Board member Brandon) Weeden said in the release. “The fact that this NIL helps all varsity sports, men and women, whether it be a full scholarship, partial scholarship, or a walk-on athlete, sets us apart from any collective out there … and reinforces the culture of family at OSU.”

• Couple of Cowgirl Softball reads:
– ‘This team was amazing’ – a fun look back at this Cowgirl Softball squad
– How Tallen Edwards chose to reclassify and come to OSU a year early

• Hardly a consolation prize but the team that knocked the Pokes out is headed to Omaha:

Non-OSU Bullets

• The rut principle
• How to get more out of church (faith-based)

I don’t think OKC’s tank is over but just starting to have conversations like this excites me about a core potentially being in place:

The Thunder showed quite a bit of promise defensively when healthy last season, and have considerable room for growth with a backcourt consisting of supersized point guards Josh Giddey and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and one of the toughest perimeter players in the league in Lu Dort. Adding those three with Holmgren along with a role player who brings strong leadership and knows how to impact winning, like Kenrich Williams, for example, could make for an exciting lineup on both ends of the floor.

I’ll be straight with you – these topographic NBA (and MLB) maps are pretty awesome – good idea for Father’s Day for some guys:
