OSU Bullets

• Mike Gundy discussed his next steps in hiring a defensive coordinator

“…If we don’t promote with inside, and honestly right now I don’t know, I don’t know, then I’m sure I’ll interview at least six or eight guys just because it’s defense and that’s not my gig….”

• This is pretty incredible – social media interactions around OSU’s football team increased by more than two million between 2020 and 2021

• OU QB Caleb Williams hit the transfer portal yesterday – OU had a strange response to it. You couldn’t see my face but I was smiling while typing this bullet.

• Some fun numbers to relive from the Fiesta Bowl, here’s the “best and worst” from the Fiesta Bowl-win

• Fun piece on Cowboy alum Talor Gooch who’s lighting it up on the PGA Tour – Mike Gundy referred to him as a Midwest City “hometown legend”

• Bryce has life figured out.

I asked Bryce Williams if he had a New Year’s Resolution, and if so, what it was:

“Stay away from the bars and win a Big 12 championship.”#okstate // @ocollysports

• Dari knows.

Mike Gundy is the most consistently underappreciated head coach in college football.

Kyle Whittingham just behind him.

• Love this older piece – make habits, not resolutions (faith-based)
• Sign me up for the Josh Giddey fan club
• Trying to convince my wife “dad bods” are cool since that’s what singles are apparently into now
