Daily Bullets (Sept. 20): No Putting Lipstick on This Pig

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

Three Thoughts

•  Marshall Scott said it best in his ten thoughts: 

There is no putting lipstick on this pig. OSU is a bad football team. [PFB]

• What a tough pill to swallow for a team characterized by really quality offense under Mike Gundy. 

Before (Zane) Flores scored (in the fourth quarter), there had been a span of 168½ game minutes since OSU achieved a touchdown against a major-college defense. [TulsaWorld]

• The eulogies for the Mike Gundy era have begun as the Cowboys hit apparent rock-bottom (PFB’s article here, CBS Sports’ here) – Oregon overpowering OSU? Somewhat justifiable. Losing at home to Tulsa—a team that hadn’t won in Stillwater since 1951, playing an FCS backup QB with a rebuilt roster—while getting physically dominated up front? That’s the kind of loss that changes everything.

Two Quotes

• Hadn’t caught this detail – that Walters was a student at UCF last year:

This is a crazy story. Oklahoma State is adding a quarterback who quit FCS college football and attended UCF as a regular student last year.

Previously played two years at North Alabama. https://t.co/7MBZac2Xdq
