Daily Bullets (Oct. 16): Mike Gundy’s Buyout Number Among Others

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

OSU Bullets

• Great piece talking about the buyout bubble in college football – Mike Gundy isn’t in the top-ten of highest buyouts (barely) at $15m (CBS Sports)

• A $10 bet started the topless shirt-waving in the second half last week (TulsaWorld)

• Massive fall in TV ratings for the Pokes this year:

Televised on ABC in prime time, the 2013 Baylor-OSU game was seen by 6.6 million viewers.

This is what happens when a university’s football program is broken like OSU’s is broken: When Baylor prevailed at Oklahoma State on Sept. 27, ESPN2’s audience amounted to only 396,000 viewers.

• Doug Meacham and players preview homecoming this weekend (PFB)

• Will there ever be a player that resonates with the OSU Basketball fanbase again like Big Country?

Bryant “Big Country” Reeves is in my opinion the best to ever play for @OSUMBB. His teams went 99-37 in his 4 seasons in Stillwater from 1991-1995 #GoPokes 2,368 Pts 1,152 Rebs 194 Blks 3x All American 2x Big Player of Year 93 & 95 1995 Final Four 6th pick in 1995 NBA Draft pic.twitter.com/pPYmqxIHql
