Daily Bullets (Sept. 13): Weiberg’s Contract “Will Be Addressed…”, Hejny’s Likely Return Date

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

Three Thoughts

• Make what you want of this comment from the Board of Regents: Chad Weiberg’s contract (currently not under contract at OSU) “will be addressed in due time.” (PFB)

• Does it feel to you like Cowboy Wrestling is in a bit of a reloading year with only five wrestlers in the top ten of their position nationally? (PFB) • Hauss Hejny’s likeliest return date is Homecoming – are we setting up for a Mason Rudolph reignites the season vibe when Hejny returns? (Pokes Report)

Two Quotes

• Bullet made ESPN’s list of top college football traditions:

Since 1988, Bullet, a black horse, has galloped onto the field following every Cowboys touchdown, carrying a spirit rider waving an Oklahoma State flag. The first of four horses who’ve since served as Bullet got plenty of work. [ESPN]

• I think the way the GoPokes’ beat writer talks about Mike Gundy is correct – he seems checked out, and it’s an overwhelming task to be a great football coach in both the way of operating five years ago and now.

I’ve said this to friends and other members of the beat since spring that he just seems worn out and checked out. Similar to Nick Saban, Tony Bennett and other college coaches who have stepped away in recent years, I just don’t think Gundy wants to deal with all of the newness in the sport. He can talk about adapting and understanding the necessary changes that are happening, but it’s hard to do, which is why you see so few coaches able to bridge from the old guard to the new age.

Non-OSU Bullets

• Best national parks to visit for foliage

• Interrupting the spiral

• More of a Monday than Saturday quote, but ya know.

“Use the best idea you have right now. Claiming you need to ‘learn more’ or ‘get your ducks in a row’ is just a crutch that prevents you from starting. Education is a lifelong pursuit. You will always need to learn more. It’s not a reason to wait.” James Clear
