Daily Bullets (Sept. 2): Gundy on Playing Oregon, Jaylen Warren’s New Deal

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

OSU Bullets

• Top quotes from Mike Gundy’s press conference yesterday – including this classic moment (PFB + HCS)

• Wyatt Hendrickson, it seems, keeps finding places to win titles (PFB)

• Big time news for former Cowboy Jaylen Warren – he got extended by the Pittsburgh Steelers yesterday: 

The Steelers declined to give running back Najee Harris a new contract, despite four consecutive seasons in which he rushed for over 1,000 yards and never missed a game.

That’s why it was mildly surprising when they gave running back Jaylen Warren, a former undrafted free agent, a new three-year, $17.25 million deal with $11 million guaranteed on the week of the season opener.

• While not conclusive, this Wendell Gregory social media post seems to imply he’ll be in Eugene this weekend for the Pokes’ next game.

Non-OSU Bullets 

• Two faith-based articles on productivity and persevering here (not giving up halfway there and no, you can’t keep up)

• Solid takes on male friendships, specifically this hack: 

“TCS,” which stands for “text weekly, call monthly, see quarterly.” “The great hack about having a regular event,” Karo says, “is you don’t have to worry about calling — it happens automatically.”
