TGIF Pokes. This time of year, golf courses are jammed with those dreaming of being the next Tiger Woods or Jack Nicklaus.

For several Cowboys, that dream is much closer than most after a dominant few days on the links for the OSU Fam.

What all do we have stirring in today’s Brew? Check it out below!

⛳️ Traveling Men
🏀 Battlin’ The Best
⏱️ Countdown To Kickoff
🤠 And much more!

⏱️ COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF: 6️⃣9️⃣ DAYS

69 days away from kickoff..

With a career completion percentage of 6️⃣9️⃣.5, OSU legend Brandon Weeden still holds the program record in that category.

In his senior season with the Cowboys, Weeden set the single-season program record completing 72.4-percent of his passes en route to throwing for over 360 yards per game and tossing 37 TDs that season.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Traveling Men. It’s tough to find a better way to start for the OSU fam on the PGA Tour this week.

Not one, not two, but 3️⃣ former Cowboys sit in the top-10 after the first round of the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Conn.

Austin Eckroat leads the pack after firing an opening round 62 (8-under), while Wyndham Clark (6-under) sits in second and Viktor Hovland (4-under) sits in a tie for sixth.

🔢 The Live Leaderboard

🔼 Battlin’ The Best. This week, Stailee Heard is getting her work in among the best the country has to offer.

Heard is among 21 athletes participating in the 2025 USA Basketball Women's AmericCup Team Trials at the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.

Following the selection of the 2025 USA Women's AmeriCup Team and a training camp in Colorado Springs, the United States will travel to Santiago, Chile, for the 2025 FIBA Women's AmeriCup, set for June 28-July 6. 

🔼 On The Hunt. Ethan Fang wasn’t done with just a national championship, he’s got more trophies to hunt.

Playing at The Amateur Championship in England, Fang finds himself among just one of eight quarterfinalists entering match play today.

The Amateur Championship is one of the biggest and most prestigious amateur championships in the world.

The first Amateur was held at Hoylake in 1885 where 44 players from 12 clubs competed.

Contested by 288 players over stroke play and then match play, the winner secures exemptions into The Open and the US Open, and by tradition, an invitation to play in the Masters Tournament.

🙌 STATEMENT MADE

For the 10th time in the last 12 years, Oklahoma State has beaten Oklahoma in The People of Oklahoma Oil and Natural Gas Bedlam Series, handing the Sooners a 15-10 defeat in 2024-25.

The Bedlam Series is calculated by straight wins and losses in head-to-head competition.

While Oklahoma State and Oklahoma have been in competition for more than 100 years, the all-sports Bedlam Series did not come into existence until the 1999-2000 academic year. In the 26 years since, OSU owns a 14-11-1 advantage over OU.

The 2024-25 season marked the first year in which the two schools competed in different leagues, but the overall results remained in line with what became the norm prior to OU's move to the Southeastern Conference. Oklahoma has beaten Oklahoma State in all-sports Bedlam just once in the last 12 years, with OSU winning 10 and the two teams splitting the title in 2022-23.
