March 14

Happiest of birthdays to Mrs. Bullets – all the handmade cards from the little bullets can’t say how much you mean to our family and me.

Without you, we would struggle more than an OSU offensive line without Joe Wickline and we need you like Chad Weiberg covets donations for the next phase of the Athletic Village.

• Take a look at Mike Boynton’s tournament scenarios from year to year in this PFB piece, Coach Mike doesn’t expect you to be ok with the tourney snub either:

“My message to our fans is I don’t want them to lower their expectations,” Boynton said Monday. “I certainly am not gonna lower mine.

• Hate to hear this – Chris Harris tore his ACL for the third time in four year in the Big 12 Tournament

• Berry Tramel rolled out a fun idea about spring games for the Cowboys:

Is there an NCAA rule against taking a spring game on the road? Bob Simmons brought a spring scrimmage to OKC’s Taft Stadium back in the 1990s. The Cowboys practiced up in Ponca City in 2005 when their practice fields were too wet. Why not take the spring game on the road? To OKC or Tulsa. Tulsa Union could handle a big crowd, and it would be great PR for the Cowboys in Tulsa.

• This on Big 12 teams making the tourney at 8-10 is pretty wild:

#OKState's Mike Boynton has said Big 12 teams that go 8-10 in league play make NCAA Tournament, but OSU has not twice.

4 others went 8-10 during last 6 years in Big 12. 2 made it, including TCU last year.

2 of 3 to go 7-11 got in, including WVU this year & Iowa State last year.
