Happy Wednesday Pokes. You know growing up how everyone always talks about you either have the athleticism or the smarts?

Well, this week, plenty of Pokes proved that those myths were false.

We’ll recap that and much more in today’s Brew! Check it out below!

🎥 OSUMAX: THE BEST OF THE YEAR

It’s been quite a year for OSUMax.

As we wrap up the month of June, we’ll relive some of the
greatest moments and videos of the year with the Top-10
OSUMax features of the year.

#3 - OSUMax: Resilience

Sometimes, the story is way more than just wins and losses.

The 2023 Oklahoma State Cowboys won 10 games for the 11th time
in school history, but how the team got there is a story of Resilience.

From guys coming and going in the transfer portal, being picked 7th
in the Big 12, to starting the season 2-2 with a tough loss at home
to South Alabama, to winning eight of the final ten games.

Go inside the season from start to finish as Coach Gundy and the Cowboys
beat Oklahoma for the final time as conference rivals, earn a trip to the
Big 12 Championship game and get a win over Texas A&M in the Texas Bowl.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Head Of Their Class. Sure, this past year was full of success on the field, track, court and every other competition surface.

But that success wasn’t limited to wins and losses as the Pokes dominated the classroom as well.
