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

OSU Bullets

• Kansas State’s starting quarterback will be a game-time decision for Saturday’s game

Reading between the lines, I would classify the K-State injury situation as follows …

Probable: Will Howard, Julius Brents.

Questionable: Adrian Martinez, Josh Hayes, Ben Sinnott.

Doubtful: Daniel Green.

• OSU’s highest-rated commit in the next football recruiting class opened up his recruitment yesterday

• Pretty wild that the top-ten Cowboys will be an underdog for the third straight week

• Previewing what matters in the K-State game in a paragraph:

Battle of attrition upcoming in Manhattan, with both teams suffering from key injuries. The difference might be at quarterback. Gundy reported late Saturday that Spencer Sanders (shoulder) felt better against Texas than at TCU the previous week, and Chris Klieman doesn’t know about Martinez’s (leg?) status.

• Jason Taylor is a semi-finalist for the defensive back of the year award

• Looking at the value of coaching in how the Cowboys did just that to the Longhorns

• Brennan Presley just hanging out at the Stillwater YMCA with some kids – who wouldn’t want their daughter to date this guy?

• Previewing and predicting the OSU/K-State game

• OSU plays in an awful lot of fun football games – what a perk for fans:

• The shadow of Jim Knowles looms large over this Cowboy defense:

A lot of discussion of the Texas – #OKState game pertains to 3rd down %. Texas goes: 3-17. OK St: 8-19
What isn’t apparent from the box score is that Texas faced an avg 3rd down yardage of 9.5. OSU: 6.5. Game was won on 1st and 2nd downs all game. Not a handful of 3rds.

Non-OSU Bullets

• Love seeing OKC at the top of the Wemby Rankings (NBA)
• How contempt is the silent sin that kills the Christian heart (faith-based)

Sad update here with the passing of former OSU President Jim Halligan:

I was deeply saddened this morning to learn former @okstate President Jim Halligan has passed away.

He faced and overcame many challenges as president of our beloved university, reversing a trend of declining enrollment and resetting our future on a more positive track. 1/3
