Grades: Curves Given Because of Situations, but No Excuses for O-Line

How dare Marshall ask me to start handing out grades on the weekends, too.

My day job is a middle school geography teacher, a career path I entered after nearly a decade in sports journalism. Most of my time as a sports writer, including now, has been spent covering everything Oklahoma State. Considering that background, I guess I was somewhat sculpted to hand out grades for the Cowboys’ performances.

OSU kicked off its season with a 27-13 win against Central Arkansas on Saturday night in an overall ugly game. It was sloppy, and sloppiness tends to be what hurts a grade most when I’m grading papers.
