OSU Bullets

• OKC Dave has released annual survey results after polling Cowboy fans on the upcoming sports seasons, PFB has your ten thoughts on the survey results

• Cowboys open as 21-point favorites over the TU Golden Hurricane

• The Anthony brothers (Hunter and Chandler) joining to play offensive line in Stillwater is a fun story – it’s humanizing to think about the simplicity of just wanting to play college sports with your younger brother.

“Teams that needed help on the offensive line reached out,” Chandler said. “There were some good opportunities, but it wasn’t something that I was seriously considering, so I told them all the only reason I did this was to play with my brother for my last year.

“I feel like I’ve accomplished what I wanted to with football. I got my degree. I’ve done what I intended to do, and now, it’s more about the memories. It’s about making sure that I don’t look back and have any regrets.”

Chandler and Hunter last played on the same team in the fall of 2015 at Tuttle High. [NewsOK]

• Mike Gundy cancelled Friday’s scrimmage to reflect on an historic moment

• Cowboy freshman Brennan Presley listed on a pre-season freshman All-American team in the kick returner slot – most hyped return man since…. Tyreek?

• Berry T. hates tanking and low-key advocates for the Thunder to do it
• Tim Challies brings a timely warning to take it easy when going after people online (faith-based)
