1. The Cowgirls have as impressive guard play as any team in the country. The trio of Stailee Heard, Micah Gray, and Anna Gret Asi make steady contributions on both ends of the floor.
2. OSU head coach Jacie Hoyt seems like a rising star. She seems awfully good at rallying the troops in difficult situations.
3. When in doubt, quote a New Kids on the Block trading card: "The New Kids on the Block still consider themselves “regular guys.” When Jonathan, Jordan, Joey, Danny, and Donnie think about their superstar status, it really blows their minds (GET IT?). They are glad that their celebrity status gives them the chance to make their fans aware of important social issues like education, crime, and drugs. Donnie’s favorite subject in school is math because “it almost always has a solution.” Danny’s favorite cartoon character is Woody Woodpecker. Jordan is quite the comedian! He cracks up the guys with his impressions of Elvis Presley."
4. One summer I got really into eating passenger pigeons. I cooked them in my Showtime Rotisserie as I stood atop Devil’s Tower. I collected basketball cards of Big Country Bryant Reeves and I hoarded Trader Joe’s bags until I had enough of each to make a parachute that served as my salvation one chilly August evening.
5. When it comes to Oklahoma State golfers, I say stick with David Edwards. That boy made All-American in 1977 and 1978. He won the national title in 1978 by shooting a 65 at the Great American Bash. When it comes to Oklahoma State tennis players, I say stick with Lori McNeil. She was part of the Big Eight doubles championship teams both in ’82 and ’83. Ike Groce really put a great team together there in Stillwater in those days. That was back when Garth Brooks was working as a bouncer at a bar right there in Stillwater called “KASH BEAUCHAMP’S.” He met his first wife when kicking her out of “KASH BEAUCHAMP’S” for fighting with these two fellers from Arkansas who said that Buddy Ryan was a better guard for the OSU Cowboys football team in the mid-1950s than John “Marmaduke” Ward was in the mid-1960s.
