🎥 OSUMAX: THE RIDE, EP. 3

No better way to get ready for Saturday’s big showdown in Stillwater
than reliving last weekend’s win in Tulsa!

You won’t want to miss it as OSUMax takes you behind-the-scenes
in the third episode of The Ride, available NOW on OSUMax.

🏈 ONLY A DAY AWAY…

Tomorrow, Tomorrow, only a day away!

Only two games in the entire country this weekend feature a top-15 matchup and one of those kicks off at 3 pm at Boone Pickens Stadium when the 12th-ranked Utes of Utah visit Stillwater to do battle with the 15th-ranked Cowboys.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 New Home, Same Goal. For four years, Jason Taylor II led the Cowboys defense, shining brightest during his All-American season in 2022.

For the past two years, Taylor was part of the LA Rams organization, living out his dream of playing in the NFL.

That dream continues this week, just in a new location as the former Poke signed this week with the Arizona Cardinals practice squad.

🔼 Eyes On The Prize. It may be September, but the eyes are still firmly locked on the prize for the OSU softball squad.

This past week, the Cowgirls got comfortable being uncomfortable with some special offseason training with a few visitors that train some of the best leaders in the world.

🔼 Streak Snapped. Eventually, all good things must come to an end.

Unfortunately, on a storm delayed night, the 12th-ranked Cowgirls had their winning and shutout streak snapped as the 21st-ranked Buffs of Colorado took home a 2-1 victory at Neal Patterson Stadium on Thursday night.

👏 ONE HALL OF A WEEK

Not only is BPS hosting a top-15 showdown on the gridiron, but this year’s OSU Hall of Honor Class will honored.

The 2024 Hall of Honor class will join the other 77 exisiting members of the exclusive club.

This year’s inductees are Lauren Bay (softball), David Edwards (men's golf), Ross Flood (wrestling), Charles Howell III (men's golf), James Wadley (men's tennis), Brandon Weeden (football) and the 1965 men's track and field relay team of Dave Perry, John Perry, Jim Metcalf and Tom Von Ruden will be inducted as part of a ceremony this Friday.
