That’s exactly what the Cowgirls gave us last night in emphatic fashion.

Across the street, the Cowboys were finishing up another week of practice and we’ve the got the sights and sounds for you.

🔼 Splitting the Lumber(jacks). Message received.

The Cowgirls opened their 2023 campaign in dominating fashion, blasting their way past Stephen F. Austin, 4-0, on Thursday night at Patterson Stadium.

It was OSU’s ninth straight season opening win and it has outscored the opposition by a tally of 22-4 over that stretch.

Four different Cowgirls found the back of the night with Hannah Chance, Laudan Wilson, Adelhia Ghonda and Logan Heausler all scoring their first collegiate goals. Wilson and Ghonda also chipped in an assist to lead the offensive fireworks display.

🔼 Bigger Than The Game. As we all gear up for an exciting fall, sometimes we need a reminder that this is much bigger than any game or score. It’s about impacting the lives around us.

Linebacker Nick Martin is doing just that alongside some great teammates.

🔼 Deuces Wild. A pair of OSU golfers finished the summer strong, by earning their way through the first stage of the US Amateur.

Incoming freshman Preston Stout and Jonas Baumgartner both worked their way through the first 36 holes of stroke play to earn a spot in the match play.

Stout and Baumgartner battled hard, but fell in the first round of match play on Wednesday afternoon.

🎧 OSU MAX PODCASTS

It’s tough to find a better person to breakdown the upcoming Cowboy football season than the guy who’s been breaking things down for years for the Orange and Black faitiful, John Holcomb.

In this week's episode of the Old Pokes Show, Holcomb, the color analyst for the Cowboy Radio Network joins Deion Imade and Clint Chelf.

Get his thoughts and look at the 2023 season, as well as learn about how he landed in the booth for OSU.

🔼 Well Done, Now Let’s Get To Work. What an absolute man child.

That may be the best way to describe incoming freshman Christian Carroll, who finished up his incredible summer at the U20 World Championships this week, posting a 2-2 mark and finishing just short of the bronze medal match.

The No. 1 pound-for-pound prospect of 2023 claimed his spot in Jordan with a dominant victory at the World Team Trials in early June. There, Carroll received a bye into the best-of-three final series already secured thanks to his U20 National Title in April. He made quick work of seventh-seeded Aden Attao in the series, winning both bouts by a score of 10-0, with the second victory coming in just 17 seconds.

🏈 COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF: 15 DAYS

Nothing we love more than seeing an Oklahoma kid taking the stage for the Orange and Black.

That’s exactly what #15 Ty Williams is doing for OSU as the redshirt sophomore safety from Muskogee is ready to break out for the Cowboys this fall.

Last year, he played in all but one game on the special teams unit, recording seven tackles.

In high school, Williams was a dominating force on both sides of the ball, picking off 15 passes in just over two-plus seasons, in addition to accounting to over 5,000 yards of total offense and 41 total TDs.

What’s in store this fall for Williams? We can’t wait to see!
