It’s too late to argue about daylight savings time James Lileks Star Tribune Nobody will ever do anything about daylight savings time. “Hold on,” you say, “that was last week. Why are you bringing this up now?” Because that’s exactly why nothing will be done — because it’s not an issue this week.

Sure, last week there was the usual muted bleats and impotent mutters, but everyone set their clocks back, and the entire conversation about DST died with the first cock’s crow because we have the attention spans of fruit flies. We will revisit this in the spring, have the same conversation, and change nothing.

Rinse, repeat.

“Hold on again,” you say. “Did the shampoo companies really add ‘repeat’ to double consumption, or is that just an urban legend? And are there such things as rural legends, as long as we’re at it?

If you had a legend that arose somewhere between Anoka and Big Lake, would it be urban, rural or exurban?”

So you want to change the subject, I see. You’re ashamed that I pointed out how we all obey the clock-changing law with unquestioning obedience. That’s fine. There should be no shame about the subject, especially when it comes to an unpopular truth.

Some of us ... like the early sunsets.

What we learned from OSU’s 85-70 win vs Sam Houston State Ashton Slaughter and Gabriel Trevino Staff Reporters Javon Small’s difference was anything but his last name.

Less than a week ago, Oklahoma State men’s basketball looked lost. The Cowboys had trouble making free throws, shooting from 3 or finding any sort of rhythm on offense.

Fast forward to Sunday, in Small’s first game as a Cowboy, and the team looked different in their 85-70 victory against Sam Houston State. OSU coach Mike Boynton credited the East Carolina transfer for his impact.

“I’m happy that Javon Small was back on the floor today,” he said.

In 29 minutes, Small shot 6-10 from the field (4-7 from 3) and totaled 16 points in his debut. He had five assists and five rebounds, too, setting the tone in all facets of the game.

He even earned a standing ovation after his performance in his first game since January due to a knee injury, mind you.

“For me to come out and have a pretty good game, it felt pretty good,” Small said.

Here’s what else O’Colly men’s basketball beat writers Ashton Slaughter and Gabriel Trevino saw in the Cowboys’ victory.

Bryce Thompson’s play off the bench For the first time since Jan. 8, 2022, Bryce Thompson came off the bench for OSU. It was reported during the ESPN broadcast that Thompson was late to shootaround on Sunday, causing him to be demoted to the bench. OSU coach Mike Boynton confirmed this postgame.

“Nothing major… (but) a Connor Fuxa standard is a standard.

Bryce Thompson came off the bench for the first time in nearly two years, and he scored 17 points in the Cowboys’ 85-70 win against Sam Houston on Sunday.

Ethan Scott Alan Bowman’s performance — 19-36, three interceptions — was one of the many things that made OSU’s 45-3 loss “a perfect storm of bad things.”

grasp. Moments later, linebacker Collin Oliver recovered, setting up OSU at the opposing 25, trailing 24-3. Momentum had seemingly found its way to OSU’s sideline with the opportunity to cut the deficit to a two-score advantage.

On the first play of the drive, Bowman overthrew Owens again for his third and final pick of the day.

“It’s kind of one of those games where everything went wrong (for us) and everything went right for them,” Bowman said.

By halftime, UCF had logged 320 yards of offense. And the second half wasn’t overly different.

The Knights’ offense finished with 592 yards of offense – to OSU’s 262 – outgaining the Cowboys by more than their own first-half total. In addition, the Knights averaged 8.5 yards per play.

Harvey was responsible for 206 of his team’s 293 rushing yards, while Plumlee was responsible for 74.

“We just gotta go out there and play complementary football a lot better,” said linebacker Xavier Benson.

“And I know we will. There’s no other option.”

The OSU offense had averaged 37.6 points per game since its 33-7 loss to South Alabama. But a different of-

fense showed up in Orlando.

A different Bowman (19-36, three interceptions); a different Gordon (12 attempts, 25 yards, 2.1 yards per carry, one fumble); and a different defense — one drastically dissimilar to the unit that held Bedlam rival Oklahoma to 24 points a week prior.

And that “perfect storm of bad” can be too daunting to overcome. Thus, OSU (7-3, 5-2 Big 12) was held to its lowest point total in 378 days since its infamous 48-0 loss to Kansas State in Manhattan. “(We can’t) let it bleed over,” said linebacker Nick Martin. “Post a day with a clean mindset. Post a week with a clean mindset. And then get back to work.”

The response seven days from now could define OSU’s season. “(It was) all a combination of turnovers, not getting off the field on third downs and not taking advantage of early opportunities to score,” said OSU coach Mike Gundy. “...They made the plays. We didn’t… We should have been better on defense, but we weren’t. And then we couldn’t capitalize offensively on certain situations and it kind of snowballed into what ended up happening.” sports.ed@ocolly.com

Cowboys kick off season with rout of Bucknell Braden Bush Sports Editor

Daton Fix doesn’t have much left to prove anymore, so sometimes even close wins stick with him.

In the Cowboys’ seasonopening dual Friday night, a 38-6 win against Bucknell, Fix had a rematch with Kurt Phipps, who Fix beat 4-1 last season. A win is a win, but not to Fix, a senior with nationaltitle aspirations. For him and other veteran Cowboy wrestlers, he wants to start off hot.

“I should have definitely beat him worse last year,” Fix said. “I didn’t forget about that match for sure.”

Fix jumped out to a 9-1 lead in the opening period, then finished things off with a fall off an inside trip less than 30 seconds into the third period.

“I wanted that fall,” Fix said. “Last year, I wrestled that kid, and I wrestled probably one of my worst matches of the year.”

Luke Surber, OSU’s 197-pounder, picked up three takedowns in the first period against No. 22 Logan Deacetis and built a 9-2 lead before picking up a 21-5 technical fall.

Like Fix, Surber is a senior and wants to set the tone for the season early.

He recorded six takedowns – the most of any Cowboy on Friday – and a reversal.

news Auction . . .

Continued from 1 This auction was only for OSU’s Stillwater campus.

All the different campuses, from Tulsa to Muskogee, have different surplus auctions.

Jennifer Stone, an alumna, returned to Stillwater with her family to visit the auction.

“We came to auctions about 20 years ago, whenever we went to school here,” Stone said. “We’re from the Edmond area... my husband was looking for some different possible computer parts, or desk parts, maybe some chairs, so we came to look around.”

This marks the last chance for any of the items on sale at the auction. After the auction, all that didn’t sell or get picked up will be dropped off at the dump.

This time, the auction took around 10 hours and 40 minutes, compared to the average four-hour duration.

The auctioneer was Homer Nicholson, who was no stranger to the Stillwater auction game. This marked his 109th auction in the past 23 years he has worked with OSU. “There are usually about four or five a year,” Nicholson said. “[In the past] We’ve sold the scoreboard for the Gallagher-Iba Arena when they remodeled. X-ray machines, all kind of lab equipment. One time we did a garbage truck, a 60x80 foot man-lift, all kinds of carpet and paint. One time we sold a diesel engine, brand new in its crate.”

The next auction will not be for another few months. In the meantime, OSU employees are allowed to see what is available in the surplus and request items by following the instructions on the surplus page of the OSU facilities management website. news.ed@ocolly.com Entire pallets of computers and computer accessories went for as little as $1-5 during Saturday’s auction.

Ashton Miller Marilina Vizcarrondo, who runs Stillwater Rocks on Facebook, attended Second Saturday to share her love of rock painting with Stillwater’s residents.

Creative . . .

Continued from 1 Originally started painting kindness rocks after she found one on a run, and ever since, she said that she has spread kindness throughout Stillwater and the rest of the world.

“I was kind of going through a rough patch so I thought that rock spoke to me, so I found it while I was running, so I was like ‘I’m gonna start painting and hiding rocks during my runs,’” Vizcarrondo said.

Vizcarrondo runs Stillwater Rocks on Facebook. Here, people post the rocks they find or request a rock from Vizcarrondo to take on their travels.

“Greece, Paris, Puerto Rico, you name it,” Vizcarrondo said. “A lot of my followers ask me if I can paint some rocks for them to hide, so when I paint my own rocks I put my Facebook page on the back, and then they go there.”

Marilina Vizcarrondo’s husband, Jorge, has been closely involved with Stillwater Rocks’ journey. Jorge Vizcarrondo has seen the smiles these rocks bring to the community, and to him, a smile is one of the nicest things a person can do.

“It’s the easiest thing in life is just

to be nice, and to be nice is just to give a smile,” Jorge Vizcarrondo said. “You’ll make somebody’s day because you never know what that person is going through on a daily basis.”

While Stillwater Rocks has grown exponentially since its beginning, the pair still attend small events such as Second Saturday.

The events for Second Saturday vary depending on what exhibits are on display and what is going on around Stillwater.

Myla Stevens originally heard about Second Saturday on Facebook, and ever since then Stevens and her 2 children have been recurring participants.

“We have been coming since it started years ago, and actually I think we’ve only missed a handful,” Stevens said.

While Stevens lives in Stillwater, Second Saturday provides a fun activity for her out of town family members.

“My grandma and aunt come up from Norman to do it with us, to hangout with the girls and do the art and see the exhibit and everything,” Stevens said.

The Second Saturday program not only provides parents with an easy, inexpensive activity for their kids to do, but also gives children the ability to explore their artistic talents in different ways each month. news.ed@ocolly.com

OPEN YOUR HEART TO GOD! “Open your heart and let him in. God will remove all your sorrow and sin. He may not pass this way again, so open your heart and let him come in.” These are words from an old hymn.

Many struggle so hard to take this step, not wanting to give up their independence; not wanting to humble themselves before God. In the Psalms, David said: “When I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away, and I groaned all the day long. Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me.

My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, ‘I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.’ And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone.”

(32:3-5 NLT) It seems so simple, and it is! Yet, so many

struggle with honesty and humility. These qualities are of great importance with God. The truth is another has paid the penalty for your sins and mine. That is the good news! What we could not do (get rid of our sins), Jesus did by dying in our place. Therefore, “Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven,whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him.” (Ro.4:7-8 NIV) Again, blaming friends or relatives will not help; getting religious does not help, thinking you are among the “better” people does no good. Trust what God has done for you through Christ. Get honest and humble yourself before God. Confess your sinfulness, and God will freely forgive. You will be free of guilt and stand innocent before God. Then you can begin a lasting and fruitful relationship with this great and loving God.

Continued from 1 Winter might be a time when you’re out schussing on cross-country skis and you prize that extra hour of light, twinkling through the iceencrusted branches, but most of us are home making dinner, following some instinctive need to carb-load and hibernate.

The dark is a fine setting for the lights we add to the trees and the home as well, an act of defiance, of decorating the cold blank nullity of a winter night.

We hunker and wait for Dec. 21, when the long declining day stops, gathers itself, takes a breath, and starts the victory march to spring.

“All well and good,” you say, “but if you have to repeat the shampooing, doesn’t that suggest that the product has been watered down? Why can’t it get it right the first time?”

Would you stop with that already? We don’t even know if the bottles still say that. Let me check ... OK, the stuff I use does not say repeat. It says Lather, Wash, Rinse. I don’t know why they have to tell you that in the first place, but we should be grateful the label instructions don’t say “Apply to head with hands,” because that would suggest that some dolts daub it on the shower wall and rub their noggins against the tile.

The cynics will suspect that we are meant to argue over this issue to keep us from noticing the real questions of

I mean, my shampoo is also body wash. There’s no reason they had to do that. No one would have thought about
