• This was an encouraging development Berry T. pulled from internal sources: early returns from inside Cowboy Football are that no systematically racist issues are surfacing.

If you want good news, there is some. An OSU source said that the school’s investigation of player unrest so far has uncovered little to no racial turbulence, at least not until Gundy double-downed on endorsing President Trump, and that jives with what former players have said about Gundy.

• Mike Boynton got confirmation on a couple of more Pokes over the weekend: Keylan Boone and Matthew-Alexander Moncrieffe

• The catalyst for the above players returning to Stillwater? Ice.

From what I am told, the catalyst for all of this was Isaac Likekele. Whenever he said that he was sticking around, it made it easier for others to follow his lead. That is the sign of a leader. Likekele deciding against making the move and sticking with a program that, as of this moment, won’t be able to play in the NCAA Tournament next season reflects a whole lot in his belief in the program.

• 247 says Chuba Hubbard is one of the top-ten returning playmakers in college football

• The top running back in the 2023 cycle will visit Stillwater

• Happy (late) Father’s Day to all the dads out there – thoughts and prayers to those living through their first year without a great dad.

Happy Father’s Day Dad! Thanks for teaching and showing your 3 sons and players how to be a great husband and Dad! pic.twitter.com/1Lg0vK486f

• My incredible wife got me a print of this painting for Father’s Day – solid explanation on why it resonates
• Studying the “Nazirite Vow” for a bible study with some guys, this was a cool resource on how it (could) translate to today

This Tweet thread on dad-type things was pretty hilarious – my favorite was the guy who (even with a June birthday and Father’s Day) bought his own grill to make sure he got the right one:

Today, I ask you for the most Dad things you've done in the last year. (You need not be a dad or have kids.) I'll go first:
1. For my birthday, I only asked for a pressure washer.
2. At the store, I said, out loud to myself, that there are "too many dang potato chip flavors."
