I can’t see May 9th without thinking about the tornadoes in 2016 – stay safe this tornado season, ya’ll.

Three Observations

• I’ll promote and validate any Big 12 helmet ranking that has “Patriot Pete” at No. 1 but No. 2 couldn’t be further off…

• This was a fun must-read for all Cowboy and Cowgirl Golf fans.

Ever wonder how the dream that was @KarstenCreek became reality? The link below has the answer.

• Tylan Wallace was Biletnikoff finalist two years ago and he nearly put up 900 yards in eight games. What does Wallace have to work on this year?

…Adding some strength to his game and refining his route-running at the intermediate level will be keys to watch this upcoming season. [PFF]

I find it incredibly hard to believe that Chuba Hubbard wasn’t one of the top 25 players coming back for another year when the pros were an option.

Three Quotes

• This is the life of OSU running backs – winning the Canadian Heisman and hanging with your old teammate in the pros.

“I was in Baltimore, actually,” (Chuba Hubbard) replied. “Staying with my friend. You guys probably know him: Justice (Hill).” [TulsaWorld]

• How would you like to be on the other end of these remarks from the NCAA? You’ll have to ask the folks at Kansas.

“There can be no doubt the men’s basketball allegations are egregious, severe and are of the kind that significantly undermine and threaten the NCAA collegiate model,” the NCAA said in a statement. “The institution, in taking its defiant posture in this case, is indifferent to how its alleged violations may have adversely impacted other NCAA institutions who acted in compliance with NCAA legislation.” [PFB]

• It’s OSU (Oregon State) related but I think the Oregon State athletic director speaks to the general sentiment around college football.

One scenario not being considered is the cancellation of any fall sports, including football.

“We have every potential option on the table except that. We do not have cutting a sport on the table as an option.” [Yahoo Sports]

One Question

• Will Matthew-Alexander Moncrieffe be the best basketball player on campus after Cade Cunningham leaves?

Most Viewed of the Week

• No. 1: Mike Boynton offered a guy from Brooklyn
• No. 2: Gundy-Era recruiting what-ifs
• No. 3: Kenyatta Wright’s son committed to Tech
• No. 4: How Jaden Nixon ended a Texas dynasty
• No. 5: Bullets from Sunday 5/10

Non-OSU Bullets

• Kind of interesting to read what the NBA is chewing on for restarting – Also: I can’t read enough NBA mock drafts– this one has the Thunder with a Euro-wing
• Finished this classic read about the Beatnik generation– it was fine
• This piece on how convicting a crisis can be (faith-based) was great

There are so many things I’d rather have to happen to me than be on the wrong end of a Steven Adams’ screen:
