Three Thoughts

• TV info, betting lines and more for tonight’s ranked matchup between Oklahoma State and Houston, plus predictions on the game (PFB)

• Bill Haisten suggests a Bedlam game if neither team makes the CFP – what a wonderful idea. The narratives would be terrific – Eric Morris tie with John Mateer at Washington State, Eric Morris offense against Brent Venables defense (TulsaWorld)

• This is the angle to look it if you want some optimism about tonight’s matchup:

Hardly anybody in the country is better than Houston at stopping the run. But if the Cougars have one weakness, it’s their pass defense, which ranks 118th nationally. That’s not great when facing (Drew) Mestemaker. I think this has all the makings of a good old-fashioned Big 12 shootout. It should be a blast to watch. [Open for Business]

Two Quotes

• Impressive stuff for the Pokes going 4-0, co-champions of Big 12 match play earlier this week.

At Big 12 Match Play, the Cowboys…

🔸Were the only 4-0-0 team in the field 🔸Had the best margin of victory through 4 days 🔸 @preston_stout8 & @gavenlane04 combined to become the only Cowboy duo EVER to go undefeated at the Big 12 Match Play tournament #GolfSchool https://t.co/zhUPH42VHA — Oklahoma State Cowboy Golf (@OSUCowboyGolf) October 15, 2026

• Feels like the Pokes will have a Gold Glove winner this year doesn’t it?

Nolan McLean, Luis Torrens, and Carson Benge have been named @RawlingsSports Gold Glove Award finalists! 💪 https://t.co/k24i61YXIk

One Question

• OSU picked to finish No. 11 in the Big 12 in men’s basketball – what percentage of your next paycheck would you be willing to wager they finish better than that?

Non-OSU Bullets

• The giant pumpkin regatta • Avoiding grumbling (faith-based) • Haven’t been on a first date in 16 years but this three date process sounds pretty solid to me.
