Cowboy Brew 2/7: Should've Been A Cowboy

OSU Moves To #2 In Latest Rankings

Good Morning Cowboys and Cowgirls. Should’ve been a Cowboy…. Woah, I should’ve been a Cowboy.

The national polls continue to be filled up with the Orange & Black as the winning continues for the wrestling, tennis and golf squads.

We’ve got all that and a special Cowboy Film Room for y’all!

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

🤼‍♂️ The Rise Continues
⛳️ Fast Start
🎥 Cowboy Film Room with Walsh and Glidden
🤠 And so much more!

J.W. Walsh and David Glidden made their way to Stillwater as part of the class of 2011. The pair redshirted together in 2011 before playing in the Cowboys offense from 2012-2015. 

J.W. played in 33 games at quarterback for the Cowboys passing for more than 3,900 yards and 36 touchdowns. Glidden caught 115 passes for 1,655 yards and 6 touchdowns as a Cowboy. 

Go inside the Cowboy film room as the guys take a look back at their playing careers at Oklahoma State.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 And We Rise Up. When you lead the country in wins over ranked opponents, including three over top-5 foes, you’re going to turn some heads.

Those eyes are square on the OSU wrestling squad who climbed to their highest ranking since the end of the 2019 season as the Orange & Black sit at #2 in the latest national poll.

The Cowboys are coming off yet another weekend sweep with wins over No. 24 Arizona State on Friday and No. 5 Missouri on Sunday. OSU's victory over the Tigers was its third against a top-five team on the year, its most in a single season since 2011-12. The Cowboys have defeated a ranked opponent in their past eight duals. 

🔺 Fast Start. Playing amongst some of the best teams in the country in beautiful weather, the OSU Cowgirls golf team got their 2024 season off to a fast start.

Using a 3-under in the final round, OSU finished fifth at the Puerto Rico Classic, which finished up on Tuesday.

Maddison Hinson-Tolchard passed Annie Thurman for fifth in the program record books with 329 career birdies on Tuesday. Hinson-Tolchard posted two birdies in the final 18 and eight in the tournament to climb up the rankings in OSU's 30 years of tracking.

🔺 Pokin’ Around. She was one of the pioneers for OSU women’s hoops.

Now, she’s running a Big 12 institution.

Linda Livingstone is a 1982 OSU graduate and a former Cowgirl hooper, as well as a OSU Alumni Association Hall of Fame member. She is now the President of Baylor University and recently sat down for a podcast about her journey, including some memories of her time in Stillwater.

🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: Three.

After last year’s 40-plus win season to make it three straight seasons, the streak matched the two other times in program history (1988-90 and 1992-94) that the Cowgirls had posted such a stretch.

🤠 Have a great day, Pokes!
