Cowboy Brew 11/17: On The Road Again...

Cowboys Head to Houston For Big 12 Showdown

Good Morning Cowboys and Cowgirls. Sometimes, you just have to listen to good ole Willie.

"On the road again.. just can’t wait to get on the road again.”

The best way to bounce back is to jump in the saddle again and go right back at it. This time? The Cowboys head south to H-Town for the first-ever Big 12 showdown with the Cougars.

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

🎥 OSU MAX: THE RIDE

Sometimes you have to go through a storm to see the rainbow.

The Cowboys dealt with that storm in more ways than one during their first-ever trip to take on Big 12 newcomer, UCF, last week.

Go inside the meeting rooms, behind the scenes with Ollie Gordon on ESPN and hear from the truck drivers as they make their way to the Sunshine state in this week's episode.

🏈 HEADED TO H-TOWN

No doubt about it. Last week was a punch in the mouth.

Best way to respond to a punch in the mouth? Get back up and punch back.

The Cowboys have that bounce back opportunity this week with a trip to another Big 12 newcomer, Houston, on Saturday afternoon.

With two games left in the regular season, destiny is still in the hands of the Orange and Black as they are in a four-way tie for second place in the Big 12, with two teams that OSU has already beaten in 2023.

The Cowboys sit at #24 and #25 in this week’s college football national polls.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Eye On The Prize. The hunt for #53 and #54 is almost here.

Fresh off the sweep of the Midwest Regional Championships last weekend in Stillwater, the OSU cross country squads are set to toe the lie at the NCAA Championships in Charlottesville, Va. on Saturday morning.

On the men’s side, the Cowboys hit the course following their back-to-back victories at the Big 12 and Midwest Regional meets. Big 12 Champion Brian Musau, Midwest Champion Denis Kipngetich and All-Americans Alex Maier, Fouad Messaoudi and Victor Shitsama have the Cowboys in prime position to bring home the program's fifth NCAA title on the grass.

For the women, the Cowgirls are coming off their Midwest Regional Championship performance in which they scored just 30 points overall. Big 12 Champion Taylor Roe, Midwest Champion Billah Jepkirui and All-Americans Molly Born and Gabija Galvydyte are looking to improve upon their program-best fourth-place finish at the national meet last year.

🔼 Heartbreak Hotel. There’s a reason that NYC is known for its hoops.

There’s hoopers EVERYWHERE.

A fiesty, gritty St. Bonaventure came up with the basket when they needed it and took a 66-64 victory over the Cowboys in the Legends Classic Semifinals on Thursday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Freshman Eric Dailey Jr. posted a career-best 15 points, while John-Michael Wright added 14 and Javon Small had seven assists, but a corner three at the buzzer from Small rimmed out as the Bonnies pulled off the win.
