Daily Bullets (Nov. 1): We’ll (Possibly) Cross KU’s Goal and then We’ll Sing ‘Oklahoma State’

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

Three Thoughts

• Pokes head to Lawrence for another Big 12 bout today – you can see all the details on the game here and predictions here. Will we see Zane Flores again? Maybe make some progress? Kansas has been getting boatraced, may be a chance for a  a game for the Pokes. (PFB)

• This is wild – KU’s quarter is in his sixth season in Lawrence after being recruited by Les Miles. Alan Bowman didn’t necessarily flourish in his geriatric (relatively in college years) years and Jalon Daniels has struggled with some inconsistency too (PFB)

• A common narrative is that more openings will push OSU and others down the totem pole for landing a great head coach. Berry Tramel pushed back arguing that supply exceeds demand. Tramel notes there are way more good coaches than there are openings (citing the plethora of assistants in top-ten programs and proven coaches at lower levels)  – you just have to figure out who they are. 

Yet all kinds of coaches, good coaches, excellent coaches or excellent prospects, will be interested in the LSU job. Same at OSU.

All because there are more good coaches than good jobs. [TulsaWorld]

Two Quotes

• Props to the Pokes for bringing home the Big 12 title:

• Trigger-warning – this comment is going to make me sound like an OU fan… but isn’t it wild that being No. 5 in the country feels low?

One Question

• Who would have made more money in the NIL era – Mo Baker or Jawun Evans? Both were absolute prototype college guards that would thrive today.
