    #okstate #okpreps The OSU team has arrived in West Virginia, but Mike Gundy will not travel until tonight — after he watches the Stillwater-Choctaw 6AII semifinal in Yukon. Mike’s son Gunnar is Stillwater’s senior QB. Most reasonable people would approve of Mike’s decision.

    #okstate The most glaring sign that OSU's 2024 run game is historically bad: Today’s Cowboy time of possession was 17 minutes and 24 seconds. It’s the lowest such total in program history. The previous low: 17 minutes and 31 seconds in the Utah game, two weeks ago.

    A 100-point Bedlam game is condemned by many nationally as being a pillow fight. A 100-point #MNF game is hailed as being a classic for the ages. (It has been an unbelievable game, though.)

    #okstate Gundy’s $5 million mission is do whatever is required to win. Whether that involves a QB change or to throw an epic fit on the sideline, he’s obliged to do something now. K-State is playing desperate football. OSU didn’t show up.

    #okstate The best thing Mike Gundy did today was not benching Spencer Sanders. If Gundy switches QBs, seeds of doubt are planted. Sanders’ confidence could be shaken. Every quarterback has a day like this. Robinson, Weeden and Rudolph all had days like this.

    #TulsaMBB #ORUMBB #okstate Just watched a tremendous pickup game in Jenks. Participants included (left to right) Webster’s Anthony Pritchard (headed to TU), ORU’s Trey Phipps, OSU’s Rondel Walker and free agent Bryce Thompson (who on Thursday announces his transfer destination).

    #okstate Ahead of schedule, Memorial's Boone twins commit to OSU. Kalib and Keylan Boone could become the most talented Tulsa-area recruits to have signed with OSU since Booker T. Washington’s Richard Dumas in 1987. bit.ly/2Ht7V6P

    Former President George W. Bush scheduled for first-pitch ceremony at OSU’s new ballpark
    As a result of his longtime friendship with Oklahoma State donor Cecil O’Brate, the 73-year-old Bush is said by multiple sources to have agreed to throw the ceremonial first pitch

    #okstate Gundy mobbed after the game, and he’s fine with it.

    #MarchMadness Bill Haisten: On my bracket (and I fill out only one each year), Texas Tech faces Tennessee in the championship game. If I think so highly of Chris Beard’s ability to win, #WreckEm fans must be madly in love with this guy. tulsaworld.com/sports/college… via @tulsaworld

    #okstate Bill Haisten: A fresh, fascinating name to consider in the Oklahoma State basketball search — 2004 Cowboy hero John Lucas III. Now 41, Lucas is a Phoenix Suns assistant. Randy Rutherford endorses Lucas for the OSU job. tulsaworld.com/sports/college… via @tulsaworld
