We can’t wait for an exciting year ahead here in Stillwater.

📝 ICYMI…

🔼 On Her High Horse. Incoming freshman Bella D’Onofrio isn’t even in Orange and Black yet and she’s already piling up here winnings.

A native of Columbus, Ohio, D’Onofrio captured the top prize in OKC this past week at the AQHA World Championship Show.

🏈 COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF: 29 DAYS

Talk about a stingy defense.

In 1947, facing off against then non-conference opponent, Kansas State, in the season opener, the OSU defense LOCKED down the Wildcats.

That’s right, 29 yards TOTAL yards of offense allowed in a 12-0 victory for the Orange and Black.

Now, that’s a defensive showcase.
