I touched off my annual opening 10 Thoughts (which always runs close to 2,000 words) on Thursday evening but still had a few things left in the notebook to unload after OSU moved to 1-0 and won their 23rd consecutive home opener. Let’s get right to them.
• Being in Stillwater on Thursday night felt good. It didn’t totally feel like college football season — it never does until it gets a little cooler — but being there in person is always a reminder of how electric that place can be. Even against Missouri State.
• Another fun part of going to games and being in Stillwater is catching up with friends and acquaintances who also cover the team.
