🎥 OSUMAX: SO FRESH, SO CLEAN

The OSU football team pays homage to its earliest history at Saturday’s Homecoming matchup against Arizona State, as the Cowboys wear some of the earliest known
logos and stripes in school history to help commemorate the team’s 125th season.

Go inside the story of the jersey creation with the guys behind the scenes
that did the research and made it come to life.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Cardiac Cowgirls. All season long, the stifling defense of the OSU soccer squad carried them to 13 victories.

In the final minutes of the opening round of the Big 12 Tournament, it was the offense that proved clutch as the 22nd-ranked Cowgirls scored three goals in the final 12 minutes to punch their ticket to the conference quarterfinals with a dramatic 3-2 victory over Cincinnati.

Big 12 Scholar Athlete of the Year winner Alex Morris blasted a shot into the top right of the net from about 30 yards out with 62 seconds left to provide the game-winner.

🔼 Poll Position. We are just over two weeks away from the return of the Cowboys on the mat and when they lace ‘em up against Utah Valley on Nov. 15th, they will do so as the #3 ranked team in the country.

This week, the NWCA Preseason Coaches Poll was released with OSU ranked third nationally, while Intermat has six Cowboys ranked in the top-10 nationally in their preseason rankings.

🎥 OSUMAX: BEHIND THE SCENES

Folks, we’re less than a week away from the return of Cowboys and Cowgirls hoops!

Last week, our squads took on Big 12 Media Days in Kansas City and
OSUMax was there to go behind-the-scenes as the Pokes previewed
the upcoming season, while having a little fun along the way.

🤔 COWBOY TRIVIA

With Wednesday’s thrilling win in Kansas City, the 22nd-ranked Cowgirls earned their 14th victory of the year.

🎙 LEADING THE WAY

The OSU Cowboys continue to find themselves among the best collegiate athletic departments in the country and a lot has to do with the leadership
of Chad Weiberg, the Director of Athletics.

Recently, he joined the “On The Fly” podcast to recount his rise from unpaid intern
to his current leadership role. The discussion goes on to cover the challenges
and strategic moves amidst Big 12 conference realignment and
the departure of Oklahoma and Texas.

He also delves into the changing landscape of college football, including the
future of the Bedlam rivalry, the recent College Football 'Super League' proposals
and House Settlement, and the widening gap in media rights revenues. The
episode concludes with insights on the broader implications of reforms and
the adaptability required to navigate ongoing changes in college athletics.
