Three Thoughts

• The Cowboys and Cowgirls both fought hard today but came up short – the Cowgirls losing by a run in the Big 12 Tournament and the Pokes at home against K-State

• Outside of a Dalton Cooper spring shoulder injury, the spring narrative of optimism stemming from health around Cowboy Football seems substantiated (247 Sports)

• Loved seeing reasons to be excited about this football team – the Justin Kirkland comparison with Siaki Ika is fun (247 Sports)

Two Quotes

• All the uniform takes you can handle:

Idk about you, @megrobs11…

But I fully expect @JustinSouthwell to continue tweeting about the new unis today.

And I don’t blame him. pic.twitter.com/3cxRZMbD6U

• So many portal options (an example here) – kind of wild to see Rondel Walker out there as an option again.

One Question

• Who will OSU’s rival be in the new Big 12? The answer is either Kansas State or Texas Tech in my mind.

Should Oklahoma State eventually designate an in-conference rival? pic.twitter.com/rUVarEinJw
