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

Scores

Softball: Cowgirls 7, Utah 4
Baseball: Cowboys 12, UCF 0 

Three Thoughts

• It was a bummer this week to see Justin Kirkland hit the portal but going back to Utah makes a lot of sense (PFB)

• In what’s been a rare,  mediocre season for Josh Holliday’s crew, he opened the series with a win yesterday over UCF (PFB)

• Love to see Collin Oliver getting a shot in the NFL, signing a four-year deal in Green Bay:

“I would say he’s a little bit more of a DPR (designated pass rusher) at this standpoint,” said Packers coach Matt LaFleur after the draft. “But one thing that I think was pretty evident throughout the course of the season is we needed a little bit more speed and a speed rusher on the edge, and I think that’s exactly what he does…” [PFB]

One Question

•  If you could pick one OSU spring sport to win a title, what would it be?

Non-OSU Bullets

• For all the Inside Out fans – what’s a core memory and how do you create one? • Loved the Red Rising series finished the last one yesterday, Work Rules was aight

This is a fun idea – couldn’t do it as frequently as she does though:
