🎥 OSUMAX: THE MAN BEHIND THE MIC

Dave Hunziker didn't know what to expect when he was named as the OSU Radio Play-by-Play man in 2001, following the plane crash that took his predecessor Bill Teegins and nine others.

But what has followed is now over 1,000 broadcasts of Cowboys Football and Basketball in his time in Stillwater.

Go inside the 1,000 broadcast of Dave's career as the Cowboys took on Baylor inside Gallagher-Iba Arena.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 Vegas Victory. Not many go to Vegas and come home victorious.

The OSU women’s tennis squad bucked that trend as the Cowgirls had 4️⃣ individuals reach the finals in the Freeman Memorial Invitational in Las Vegas over the weekend.

Raquel Gonzalez and Lucia Peyre competed in the final of each of their singles draws, while the doubles team of Anastasiya Komar and Ange Oby Kajuru played in the final of their doubles draw.

Gonzalez was the only Cowgirl to capture the title on Sunday, defeating Coco Zhao of UNLV, 7-5, 6-0.

🎾: Recapping The Weekend Action In Vegas

🔺 Playoff Pokes. Only 8 of the NFL’s 32 teams remain alive as the playoffs enter the Divisional round.

Five former Pokes have their eyes on the ultimate prize entering a shot at their respective conference championship games next weekend.

Malcolm Rodriguez (Lions), A.J. Green III (Packers), Tay Martin (49ers), Tylan Wallace (Ravens) and Justice Hill (Ravens) are all still representing the Orange & Black in next week’s Divisional Round.

🔺 Turn Up The Heat. The temps may be low, but GIA will be heating up tonight.

The Pokes return home for a major test when the third-ranked Jayhawks of Kansas visit GIA for a Tuesday night showdown.

OSU is looking to breakthrough in Big 12 play after three straight tough ones to open the conference slate.
