Men’s Golf: The Pokes finished third at the Colonial College Classic

OSU Bullets

• The Sporting News is projecting the Pokes into the Sugar Bowl against Arkansas… sign me up for that. CRFF has the Pokes in the Alamo, not bad either.

• I get that coaches make their own bed by picking the guys on their roster. But Mike Gundy deserves a hat tip for what he’s done with this group so far in the season.

• Peeking ahead to Texas, here’s the biggest difference between Spencer Sanders and the Longhorns’ Casey Thompson:

Now Oklahoma State, they have almost the opposite issue with Spencer Sanders. He can hit throws outside and down the field Casey Thompson cannot, but he can’t protect the football.

• Cade Cunningham rolled an ankle, the Pistons are unsure about when he’ll return

• I agree with the take that Rondel Walker is one of the top-25 players returning in the Big 12 this year

• Pretty wild to see Cowboy Football with the sixth-highest CFP odds:

• A big time receiver the Pokes are in on is committing today at 7pm – he’s down to OSU, Texas, and Texas A&M (I’d be surprised if he’s not committing to UT):

Non-OSU Bullets

• Seems silly but I could use these tips from HBR on how to build rapport with colleagues
• “The Rooted Faith in Wendell Berry’s Fiction” – enjoying some of his stuff lately

Couldn’t agree with Carson more on this take, give me basketball (college and pro) from Christmas to August every year.
