OSU Bullets

• Mike Boynton wrapped up his time coaching FIBA with a gold medal and lots of face time with a touted recruit

#OKState coach Mike Boynton on winning gold with Team USA: “I’ve never had an experience quite like it, to be able to represent our country on an international stage like that and then do it well.”
Called it “one of the more special moments of my athletic career.”

• Missed this last week – three Cowboys made first-team All-Big 12 in golf (duh)

• Loved reading these bold predictions for Cowboy Football in 2022 – Bray for Biletnikoff is fun

• Here are a couple of athletes OSU is in on: Gundy made the top-eight for a four-star Wyoming athlete and a three-star combo guard from Texas

• Here’s a take on OSU’s betting odds as a contender this fall:

“Most of the sports betting apps we work with have Oklahoma (State) in prime sleeper position to make a run for the College Football Playoffs,” betting expert Pat Corkery of BettingApps.com was recently quoted as saying. “They’re positioned quite favorably compared to teams who finished in similar positions last season. Ohio State and Michigan State, for example – nice enough for a great return on a longshot bet, but not so far down the list that you feel like a sucker for putting your money down on them.”

• It’s a shame Marcus Smart couldn’t have played on that 2013 Cowboy Football team – dude is crafty and strong:

Non-OSU Bullets

• The Savannah Bananas sound like the most fun minor league team ever
• Reducing friction to create value

Some choice language (NSFW) but NBA players reading (crazy) fan tweets is hilarious:

"Ja morant needa chill. He be going Dummy. Still a soft ass b*tch goofy tho."

These mean tweets at Ja Morant, Russell Westbrook, and NBA stars are WILD ?
