How You Said It
The guy who’s turning around Cowgirl Softball explained Mike Holder’s communication style very astutely.
Mike Holder is a treasure chest of knowledge. You just have to understand how to hear what he’s saying. It may not always be the way you want to hear it or want it said, but there is a message every time I talk to him, which is a lot. I try to get around him as much as I can. [NewsOK]
There’s a way coaches talk and probably a different way that administrators with a business or education background talk. Softball head Kenny Gajewski noted that Holder is more into coach-speak in the less eloquent sense.
Intestinal Fortitude
In the midst of tumultuous weather and a pesky rivalry, props to Holliday for the turnaround and the foresight to persist despite the odds.
#Bedlam Baseball rained out. Read Holliday's lips – if we don't play 3 this weekend, we may not make tournament.. Doubleheader Fri. in OKC pic.twitter.com/GNx39IUzTz

In a season filled with injuries, older players not exactly living up to the expectations in their return, freshmen being thrust into critical full-time roles before even their dreams would have expected, and seeing numbers fall off some at Allie P. this team never quit. Losses have been close and fought til the final inning.
Forget that this program had never lost six games in a row under Holliday’s guidance (the last six-game losing streak was the final six-games under Frank Anderson), the Cowboys weren’t going to quit. [GoPokes $$$]
After losing six in a row, Holliday felt comfortable voicing confidence in his team’s chances of getting there. After losing twice to Lamar, to ORU and a Baylor sweep. Regardless of how the Big 12 tourney goes this week, a sweep of your rival to finish the season feels fantastic.
OSU and NCAA Notes
CBS gives college football’s bucket list – I’d argue the Cotton Bowl is more impressive than No. 5….Is the ACC the top league now?….A former UCF lineman is going O’Bannon on his alma mater….The “Last Chance U” quarterback may not be done taking snaps under center….Marcus Smart wrecked shop last night, Celts took down the Cavs
Glenn get’s you ready for the week ahead. I’m likely to intercept a pass and force a turnover on downs after reading this.
Praise, persecution, and prediction- garbage. Give those with you in the arena the sweat, scars, blisters, soreness. The Earn Season is now.

Kudos to Cowgirl Tennis who wrapped up a solid season yesterday in the Elite Eight. No shame in losing to the No. 1 seed.

What You Missed on PFB
- Cowgirl Softball took game one over Florida but lost game two to move on
- OSU took the fourth consecutive Bedlam Series
- Please take the PFB survey if you haven’t had a chance
- Get your news from around the Big 12
Other Stuff I’m Reading
Great stuff on WW II and “much being given”….If Carmelo’s the answer, you’re asking the wrong question….Bummed this guy is going back to school, wanted the Thunder to draft him
A flaw in advertising – isn’t it reasonable to expect someone to use what they endorse?
I like the commercial where LeBron drives a Kia because I'm pretty sure that once he got that $100 million contract he got that Kia.
