Daily Bullets (May 8): Looking at the “Magic Man”, Tony Allen to be Honored

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

OSU Bullets

• Why new wrestling coach David Taylor is known as the “Magic Man“  – for us non-wrestlers, framing the new wrestling hire this way was incredibly helpful – hiring David Taylor is like hiring Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers to replace Mike Gundy (PFB + X)

• This is fun – Memphis Grizzlies are planning to retire Tony Allen’s jersey next year (Commercial Appeal)

• Bill Haisten reflected on what Kenny Gajewski could do with a legit softball stadium: 

Cowgirl Stadium isn’t terrible, but it’s undeniably inadequate. It’s tiny and team amenities aren’t suitable for a program that has become a national contender. In a ranking of the Big 12’s softball parks, OSU’s would be no higher than seventh.

• Berry Tramel did an article on OKC Thunder/OSU Cowboy Lindy Waters (Sellout Crowd)

• Cowgirl Softball climbed as high as No. 2 in the rankings – here’s a video of head coach Kenny Gajewski previewing the Big 12 tournament. First game is Thursday (PFB)

• Coach Lutz is serving pancakes during Finals Week – what would you ask him when you’re going through the line?

Non-OSU Bullets

• AirBNB has released an “icons” category

• Studying the Bible in 5, 15 or 30 minutes (faith-based)

Not a bad list.
