Daily Bullets (Mar. 1): Cowgirls Stringing Together Big Wins, (Part Of) Why Nick Martin Was Great at OSU

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

Scores

Baseball: Tennessee 5, Cowboys 2

Softball: Cowgirls 4, Missouri 3 and Cowgirls 1, Nebraska 0

Three Thoughts

• New pitcher Ruby Meylan showed up big time in the Cowgirls’ win over No. 18 Nebraska – after dropping four games early in the season, Cowgirls are showing some mettle fighting out wins over these big programs (PFB)

• Getting to know the stories of players is getting harder with NIL/transfer portal implications, but hearing stories like that of Cowboy Basketball’s Robert Jennings II is still fun (PFB) 

• Collin Oliver and Nick Martin tested well at the NFL combine – fascinating to see how the numbers (particularly Martin’s speed and acceleration) show why he was able to be so effective in college ball (PFB + X)

.@CowboyFB LB Nick Martin showed off his speed today 👀

His max acceleration (6.02 yards per second squared) and top speed at 10 yards (17.97 mph) during the 40-yard dash were both the fastest among linebackers this year, per @NextGenStats

Two Quotes

• This feels relevant to anyone trying to figure out how the Pokes will get to seven or eight wins this year:

• Watching this new staff recruit could be a blast – the days of 25 unheralded recruits in each class may be drawing to an end?

One Question

• Liked this one – what’s the best logo outside of the OSU brand?

Outside your own, which school in the Big 12 has the best logo in your opinion? pic.twitter.com/DSEwVjWkeW

Non-OSU Bullets

• This is cool – Russell Westbrook is investing in the new soccer stadium in OKC 

• Intrigued by the Harry Potter TV show coming out

• Idolatry and smart phones (faith-based)
