Daily Bullets (Nov. 25): We’ll Cross BYU’s Goal and Then We’ll Sing ‘Oklahoma State’

Senior Day – beat the Cougars.  https://twitter.com/CowboyFB/status/1727757414194086273

Three Thoughts

• Texas trounced Texas Tech last night clearing the way for a “win and you’re in” game today for the Pokes against BYU (PFB)

• Clinching a seat in Arlington is primary today but the transfer portal hitting high gear is lurking and this piece noted two areas of high priority for the Pokes: offensive line and defensive ends.  (247 Sports $$$)

• Kick time, TV details, and more to go along with predictions for today’s game – can the Cowboys handle the pressure of it all? (PFB)

Two Quotes

• This Mike Gundy quote reflecting on the transfer portal struck a chord – he’s a professional but the humanity behind it resonates. 

“The portal really broke me when it first started three years ago, because I took it personal,” (Gundy) said. “And then I realized that sometimes kids leave because they leave – they want to do something new. So I’ve now gotten over the personal side of the portal and am trying to adapt to the financial side of NIL.” [The Athletic $$$]

• These quotes on Cowboy point guard Javon Small should excite to watch the guy this year: 

Javon Small is so good at controlling pace. To me, it’s similar to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder except, whereas SGA is more often than not looking for score, Small is more often than not looking to pass. Mike Boynton said postgame that Small reminds him of Jawun Evans.

One Question

• If OSU pounds BYU, would that make you confident they could beat Texas? 

Non-OSU Bullets

• Where Americans stand on traditional Thanksgiving dishes
• Some unbelievable facial hair at the championships
