OSU Bullets

• Kick time and TV channel for the OSU/TU football game has been announced

• Heartbreaking stuff out of Stillwater yesterday hearing the revenue shortfall due to COVID is resulting in layoffs, furloughs in the OSU athletic department- including this Cowboy Football staple 

Oklahoma State's athletic department eliminated 10 positions & won’t fill 9 others. 66 employees will be furloughed, another 151 will have salaries reduced up b/w 2.5% & 25%. Every head coach & AD Mike Holder also took voluntary pay cuts. These moves will save OSU $13 million

• Gundy bringing the heat here – all the confidence in this defense. And I quote, “best I’ve had in my 16 years here”.

• Chuba Hubbard and Spencer Sanders are both top-15 in odds to win the Heisman

• The ACC is recommending the NCAA let all the D1 teams into the Big Dance this year

• OSU offered an in-state point guard on the rise

Non-OSU Bullets

•If the Thunder Blow It Up, Where Does Chris Paul Go?
• Tend to agree with this Godin take – growth makes you tired
• Finished a couple of fiction reads earlier this week – this guy by David Baldacci is essentially junk food of the reading world (entertaining but shallow) and finished this Christian fiction series that was a fun ride as well

This Sam Presti quote around the Billy Donovan announcement really resonated with me:

“I’d just like to think that when that kind of stuff comes up, you stick with things and you try to stick with people,” Presti said. “I generally feel like if you stick with people that there’s going to be some benefits for that.” [NewsOK]
