Ralph Foster grew up in Perry, played in Oklahoma A
Foster went straight to the NFL. I guess World War II was embarrassed at some point, and Foster returned to Stillwater and played for the Cowboys in 1944. He then played 19 games in two seasons for the Cardinals, making nine openings.
Foster is one of 217 OSU players to be part of the NFL roster, and Foster is the first of 139 Cowboys recruited.
OsU’s 217 NFL players are tied all-time among NCAA schools. The Cowboys are surrounded by countries such as Maryland (238), Missouri (235), Mississippi (229), West Virginia (226), Indiana (2 South Carolina (217) ), San Diego State (2015), Utah (209), Texas Christian (209) and Northwestern (207).
Surprisingly, 77 of the 217 OSU NFL players played professional football in the 2000s, so the Cowboys are temporarily on the list.
With the NFL draft Thursday night, let’s take a look at the history of the OsU NFL draft.

Bob Fenimore, a legend of the Cowboys, the only number one selection in the OSU. Fenimore was first elected in 1947 through the Chicago Bears.

Fenimore played 10 games for the 1947 Bears, not bad, had two interceptions and ran 53 times for 189 yards and a touchdown, but injuries increased, the NFL did not pay what he paid today and Fenimore left football and returned to Oklahoma to enter the insurance business.

The most productive price options possible for OSU players, per round:
First round: Dez Bryant. He took 22nd place overall, many think Bryant is wrong because of his off-field antics, but Dez turned out to be a perfect professional.
Second circular: Thurman Thomas. Choosing the Cowboys in the circular for now is a smart way to proceed. Jamal Williams is a perfect nose protector. Jerry Sherk was a remarkable defensive wing, but Thomas made it to the Professional Football Hall of Fame.
Third round: Jason Gildon. Twenty-five years apart, the Steelers have made third-round selections of OSU players. In 1969, Pittsburgh took Jon Kolb 56 overall, and has become the cornerstone of the Steelers’ Super Bowl dynasty offensive line. But in 1994, the Steelers took Jason Gildon 88 overall, and played 11 seasons and added 80 catches, all three for Pittsburgh.
Fourth round: Ryan McBean. The Steelers took McBean 132 overall in 2007, and he is a forged professional, betting five years, making 21 defensive line openings.
Round 5: Dexter Manley. La the people’s choice would be fullback Walt Garrison, the 79th overall team in 1966 through the Dallas Cowboys, but Manley, the 119th overall team, went to the Redskins in 1981 and a defensive line. star, making 120 career openings.
Sixth round: Charlie Johnson. OSU’s tight end has a remarkable offensive tackle from the NFL, which ranked 199th in 2006 through the Colts. Johnson has made 115 NFL openings for the Colts and Vikings.
Seventh round: Derrel Gof 4th. The offensive lineman, who ranked 177th overall through the Packers in 1977, played 116 NFL games and began his career.
Eighth round: Leonard Thompson, the OSU runner, an NFL catcher after the Lions decided for him at number 194 in total in 1975. Thompson played 12 seasons in Detroit and made 82 innings.
Ninth round: Mike Green. The supporter ranked 245th overall through the Chargers and started all 47 games of his career.
Round 10: Ron Baker. The Guard decided to ranked 277th overall through the Colts in 1977, but played 155 NFL games, starting at 109 for the Colts and Eagles.

OSU also had a good percentage of falls.
First round: Justin Gilbert, many opciones. Sr. Fenimore. The forest. But let’s move on to Gilbert.
Round two: Buddy Hardaway. La offensive take-on peaked at number 41 overall in 1978 for the Chargers. He played 12 games as a rookie and never played again.
Third round: Roger Taylor. La offensive take-on was 75th overall in the Chiefs in 1981. He played thirteen games as a rookie, with no openings. It was his only year in the NFL.
Fourth round: Mark Moore. La blunt protection was 84th overall for the Seahawks in 1987, but he played five games consistent with the rookie and never played again.
My new favorite is verbalcommits. com. These blessed people took on the farmer’s task of overseeing all Division I school basketball transfers.
By Thursday morning, a total of 1484 Division I players had declared their goal of moving, the NCAA moving portal, 622 who had discovered new homes in Division I. Some have landed in schools in other NCAA, NAIA, or university divisions. most are still on the open market.
One of the last landings is the advance of Tyreek Smith, who heads to OSU from Texas Tech. Another is the Kur Kuath Center, from OR to Marquette.
The OsU portal is minimal. Woody Newton arrives from Syracuse and Smith from Texas Tech, Ferron Flavors Jr. is released, to Robert Morris, no one else on the portal.
This is a challenge for the school’s top basketball teams. I did a random search. I took two names out of the hat.
State of Mississippi, six parties, two to come. Minnesota, eight parties to come.
Looks like the Sooners. Eight go, 4 are coming.
Or Texas Tech. Seven are leaving, two are coming.
OSU basketball in 2021-2022 is expected to be a bastion of stability for much of the rest of the country.
It doesn’t hurt.
Smith will help. It is a 6-foot 7-inch, 225-pound baton Rouge, Louisiana (Trinity Catholic High School). He did not make outings for the Red Raiders and averaged 8. 6 minutes, 2. 6 issues and 2. 4 rebounds consistent with the game as a rookie after being a red jersey in 2019-20 he finished eighth in minutes played for Tech, basically serving as a replacement for middle Marcus Santos-Silva.
Smith played eight minutes in the opposite game to OSU, scoring a total of two points.
Smith has made only eight 3-point shots all season, but has controlled three, so it’s encouraging.
Smith’s most productive game nine issues and six rebounds in the 69-49 loss to Texas Christian.
Smith played 4 minutes in total in two NCAA Tournament games, against the Utah State and Arkansas.
His delight and production so far are the wonderful outgoing men of OSU Kalib Boone and Matthew-Alexander Moncriffe, somewhere just above other Cowboy veterans, Bernard Kouma.
But for an OSU program that has struggled with intensity and number problems, Smith’s addition is another indication that Mike Boynton’s list is well balanced. The Cowboys will be two inside, not to mention Newton, who is projected as a 6-foot-8-inch striker. .
The portal and the new NCAA rule that allows for an immediately eligible bachelor move have created chaos in school basketball.
Cowboys more commonly reaped the benefits while avoiding costs.
The 147th Kentucky Derby will take place saturday at Churchill Downs, and as every year, only the most serious horseheads know anything about competitors.
I’ve been saying it for years. Derby is not like Preakness. Preakness is the breed that determines whether we have a Triple Crown contender. Derby is just the race that determines who we pay attention to in Baltimore.
But the Derby has a tradition, and the Derby has the coolest call. The Kentucky Derby can be the call for any primary U. S. sporting event.
Let’s see, the Indianapolis 500 is good. The Super Bowl is fine, the World Series is going well. The Stanley Cup final is solid, the NBA final is boring. The Masters is problematic, the U. S. Open has authority. The Rose Bowl has a real ring and the Final Four is lyrical.
But there’s nothing better than the Kentucky Derby.
And every year, my interest before the Derby focuses on horse calls. I’m still for the next Whirlaway or Seattle Slew. A champion horse with a call that goes with him.
Twenty thoroughbreds are recorded in the Kentucky Derby.
Also: What’s in a name? That’s how the 20 horses of the Kentucky Derby were given theirs
1. Hot Rod Charlie 8-1: Not very sophisticated, but a call that sounds good. This reminds me of “Five O’Clock Charlie” by ASH by M. The concept of a horse called “Hot Rod” is glorious on each and every every path.
2. Midnight Bourbon 20-1: You can do much worse than a horse in the Kentucky Derby with a bourbon that refers.
3. Helio 50-1: I love short and pointed names. And that’s a smart one.
4. Brooklyn Strong 50-1: Geographical references hurt.
5. Sainthood 50-1: Some of the most productive names are in a word, and that’s not bad.
6. Bourbonic 30-1: I like it. But the Bourbon plague would have been even better.
7. Mandaloun 15-1: word that sounds great which is a type of Lebanese architecture.
8. Or Kisses 20-1: Kisses “kisses” in Spanish.
9. Medina Spirit 15-1: His colleague Mark Medina of USA Today, who covers the NBA, is on this horse.
10. Hidden Stash 50-1: Not bad. Some kind of fantasy.
11. King Fury 20-1: One would think that the call has it all. A real call on “King. ” A descriptive word like “Furia. “But a blow fails.
12. As King 50-1: various meanings. I don’t know if he’s smart or bad.
13. Super Stock 30-1: At least it’s short.
14. Essential quality 2-1: Two smart words that do not combine.
15. Very motivated 10-1: The owners were very motivated to find a bigger name.
16. Agenda 6-1 known: it does not appear to sink.
17. Dynamic One 20-1: I hated “one” as a name, and I will not reject the one criteria now.
18. Rock Your World 5-1: It is more suitable for pop culture than the world’s prominent horse racing.
19. Soup and sandwich 30-1: Sometimes I judge those names according to their sound, been in a meadow, calling a horse by name, and that would be silly.
20. Keepmeinmind 50-1: Running words in combination is the Derby dressing up in tracksuit pants all day long.
My Kelly McKeown emailed me last week, excited about the next Big 12 golf championship.
He proclaimed it the biggest Big 12 event ever held. Three systems of the top five (UO, No. 3, OSU No. 5, Texas), compete at Prairie Dunes, one of the world’s golf courses.
I patted McKeown on the head, wrote a story and forgot about him.
Then dyed if you’re not right.
OsU won the name of the big 12 on Wednesday after 3 exciting days of golf.
OU led OSU through a coup after 36 holes on Monday. Texas was 8 of the Sooners.
The three then tied for the lead on Tuesday after 54 holes, in 16 more.
On Wednesday he remained head-to-head, OR, betting on the striker of the OSU and Texas organization, entered the clubhouse at 10 points. OSU and Texas were tied for nine points.
Alan Bratton of OsU, who played for the Cowboys in the 1990s and a long-time assistant coach before taking over as head coach, called it one of the most exciting tournaments I’ve ever seen.
“Especially with 3 groups involved,” Bratton said. ” We continue in the most sensitive places in the industry throughout the day.
McKeown on the course and sent me a description piece by piece. It’s pretty exciting, I’m going to let him take over.
“It’s all right, ” said McKeown about the end. ” Really at 16, with (Aman) Gupta (OSU) making a birdie from the stomach, Austin Eckroat (OSU) did too.
“But Eckroat, 18, and the Texas boy were still up to the task in the bunker. Front flag, lightning fast, downhill. The Texas kid came out and just grabbed too many balls and blew him up on the green. to reproduce and has overcome the gap and has done twice as much (bogey).
“This made Eckroat’s shot much easier; He cut it but missed the putt. At this point, OSU makes one with (Texas Cole) Hammer opposite (Bo) Jin of OSU in ’18.
“On the 18th, either player hit the iron on the tee, Jin stayed behind and has 160 yards and more on a north front flag.
“Hammer (who beat Matthew Wolff at the Blessings in 2019) measures 125 inches. Jin plays first and hits a beautiful spilled iron shot that stopped 20 feet after the hole. The hammer is next with a corner and hits past the hole but it has also done so. a lot of rotation and turns off on the green (remember, front pin position).
”At this stage, Texas is over, but OR waits, flying around the green (every player, coach and small fan base), waiting for Jin 3 putts, because if he does bogey, it’s an OU-OSU playoff. , the Beijing bomber snuggled it up to 40 centimeters and continued to tapp to succeed in the trophy.
“Hammer plays closely, hits the individual name (a forward shot of Jin and Quade Cummins from OU). He (Hammer) is a stud. I’m moving Hammer, Jin and Eckroat right now. “
Eckroat, a fourth-year student from Edmond North, shot 65 issues Wednesday to finish twice in the tournament, for fifth place. Jin fired 72-67-70-68 to finish 3 bass.
Cowboy Eugeno López-Chacarra fired 69 in the last circular and finished nine times, tied in tenth place with Gupta, whose last 3 circulars were 70-70-71 after an opening of 78.
“The most productive component of our week only intensifies alignment,” Bratton said. “This week, four of our five boys made rounds in the ’60s. The other one fired 70 twice. They all contributed. It was wonderful to see you.
Meanwhile, OR out of the drama still in the tournament.
Cummins sensational, with a 67-72-72-66. Logan McAllister finished sixth with six points, pitching 76-69-73-68. North Carolina-Greensboro jonathan Brightwell’s move recovered after an 84-game first game to shoot 72-70-67.
It’s a phenomenal tournament. Everything Kelly McKeown said it would be.
My Russell Westbrook article last week didn’t age well. Westbrook has played much better, the Wizards continue to win and Westbrook is having fun. But still, Washington is 28-34 marked and they’re headed for a very likely place. In the play-in tournament, wizards don’t seem far from the playoffs or a bright future.
Carole: “I saw Russ this year every single time he’s on TV. Although you know I would never admit it, for me it feels lost. Like me, I’d probably have the idea that he’d be at the OKC until the And I think it was time for him to venture out. I think feeling lost was unexpected. I think he thought everything would be fine with his friend, James H. , and when he didn’t paint Array . . . Of course, this is speculation, but I ALWAYS have the idea that Russ would be the one to stay and KD would leave. “
Tramel: Well, you were right about that. I wonder if Westbrook is pleased to have accepted an exchange. The fact is that when Paul George asked the Clippers about the industry, the Thunder was more than satisfied with the westbrook industry as well and set out on the road to rebuilding. Thunder would be more competitive than he is now, and he would still have Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and a lot of draft picks, but Westbrook’s sweltering contract would remain.
