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

OSU Bullets

• Cowgirl Softball landed the No. 1 catcher in the 2027 class (SI)

• What Texas Tech’s coach had to say about the game against OSU (PFB)

• Loved this optimistic take on the potential of the OSU football job:

“It’s a sleeping giant if everything is in place,” one general manager told 247Sports. “It’s not a difficult place to recruit to, and the stadium environment when they are winning is insane. “I think seeing what they’ve done there in the past make people in our industry think it could be a dream rebuild.” [GoPokes 247 $$$]

• Previewing OSU’s 2025-26 men’s basketball season (HCS)

• Update on how the Cowboys in the NFL did over the weekend (PFB)

• Berry Tramel made his pick for the Pokes’ trip to Lubbock this weekend:

Oklahoma State at Texas Tech: Red Raiders 51-14. Hard to pick any OSU game close. The Cowboys’ conference losses have been by 18, 28, 22 and 32 points. [TulsaWorld]

Non-OSU Bullets

• The great flattening of friendships (with smart phones) – like the idea of giving more attention to connection than to posts • More great thoughts on friendships, loved these two points:

1. Curiosity drives connection — if you take an interest in a lot of things, you will find a lot of people interesting.
2. Believe in the good intentions of others — they are most likely trying their best (at the very least, this belief improves your own inner-peace).
