Daily Bullets (June 8): Processing Baseball and Softball’s Endings, OSU an SEC Fit?

Thanks for stopping by – here’s your daily dose of Oklahoma State sports news.

OSU Bullets

• The “good hurt” discovered by the Cowgirls after coming up two runs shy of playing for the softball championship

• Cowboy Football is in camp season, lots of recruits coming through campus right now – offers like this are going out, seems like the Pokes land a handful of guys this time of year usually

• It’s fun to see OSU-to-SEC thought – this series against Arkansas was an indication of the natural cultural fit that would be.

If anyone needed more proof that the SEC is bringing in the wrong partner with the Oklahoma Sooners, one only needs to put on the tape of this NCAA regional baseball series between Arkansas and Oklahoma State.

[All Hogs Fan Nation]

• Justin Campbell is (informally) headed to the pros – the ace will be making waves in the pros for years to come. Look at this OSU resume:

So incredibly proud of you, Juh. What you’ve done this year is incomprehensible.

2-time All-American ✔️
2-time All-Big12✔️
2-time Golden Spikes Watch List Semifinalist ✔️
Back-2-Back 100+ Strikeout Seasons✔️
Top-10 All-Time in Strikeouts at OSU✔️

Non-OSU Bullets

• Lincoln Riley is my all-time favorite Sooner coach – he talks here
• I’d read anything this guy wrote (and have) but as a textbook “overthinker”, Soundtracks was terrific
