The Pokes take on K-State at 11am in Stillwater today – swing by here to see all the details and over here to get predictions for the game (PFB)
Three Thoughts
• Today and tomorrow, the Pokes will compete in the National Duals Invitational in Tulsa, where $1M will be in play (Flo Wrestling)
• It’s so bizarre – OSU fans get to experience being a blue blood in two sports: wrestling and men’s golf. David Taylor landed a top-fifteen recruit in the 2027 class yesterday (PFB)
• The only (rumored) candidate for OSU’s search that made this article is Eric Morris, the 40-year-old head coach at North Texas. Here’s a solid snippet on him:
But (Morris’) move from Texas Tech offensive coordinator to lead the program at FCS Incarnate Word stood out. He led the program to two conference titles and playoff appearances, winning 10 games in his final season. Morris then moved to North Texas, which is 8-1 in his third season and possibly bound for the American Conference championship game. He has developed a reputation for identifying and developing under-the-radar quarterbacks such as Cam Ward, John Mateer and current North Texas starter Drew Mestemaker. [ESPN]
Two Quotes
• Loved this take from Steve Lutz on landing four-star Jalen Montonati:
“That was the one we felt like we had to get,” Lutz said. [PFB]
• See the above comment about being a blue blood in wrestling:
Oklahoma State’s class of 2026 commits is CRAZY #1 Jax Forrest #4 Dreshaun Ross #5 Jordyn Raney #6 Jayden Raney #11 Rocklin Zinkin #75 Michael White David Taylor and company are bringing the BEST to Stillwater 🤠 (Rankings per @MatScouts1 c/o 2026 big board)

One Question
• Honoring this weekend’s National Duals Invitational and the idea of a $1M prize – what football opponent (or basketball) would you be ok with paying $1M for a one-game series at Boone Pickens or Gallagher-Iba?
Non-OSU Bullets
• Why do European cities have milder winters than North America? • Knowing your responsibilities (faith-based)
