🎥 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.

It was another memorable year on the diamond for the Cowgirls.
Another year ranked amongst the best teams in the country.
A fifth straight trip to the WCWS.

Even with all of that, the best part of this year’s squad may
have been the personalities and camaraderie that came alive.

OSUMax was along for the ride and got behind-the-scenes with
special Hangin’ With Haidyn series.

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 On The Docket. We’ve known the date. We’ve known the opponent. Now, we can officially count down the hours to kickoff.

That’s right, the opening kickoff time of the upcoming 2024 OSU football season is locked in at 1 pm against FCS powerhouse South Dakota State on Saturday, August 31.

The game will be streamed live on Big 12 Now on ESPN+.

It marks the first matchup of the two schools, and the Jackrabbits enter as winners of their last 29 games - the third-longest streak in FCS history. Their last loss was a 7-3 setback at Iowa in 2022.

The Cowboys now have kickoff times and TV information for five games this season. The non-conference slate includes the opener against SDSU at 1 p.m. CT on ESPN+, the following game at home against Arkansas on September 7 at 11 a.m. CT on ABC and the next game at Tulsa on September 14 at 11 a.m. CT on ESPN2.

Oklahoma State's two Friday kickoffs have also been set, with the October 18 matchup at BYU set for 9:15 p.m. CT on ESPN and the November 29 regular-season finale at Colorado set for 11 a.m. CT on ABC.

🏈 COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF: 74 DAYS

Number of the Day: 74.

One of the anchors of the 2023 Cowboys came on the offensive line,
that was praised to be among the country’s best.

A leader on that group is rising senior and #74 Preston Wilson, who earned a fourth straight spot on the All-Academic Big 12 First Team this past fall.

🎥 OSUMAX: ROLLIN’ WITH BARRY

No better way to help countdown til Cowboy football than
reliving one of the best players in college football history!

A two-part OSU Max Original, Barry Sanders: Out of Nowhere, tells the story of how Barry became Barry, weaving through his childhood in Wichita and the pivotal moments that shaped his legendary career. 

Through exclusive interviews with his family, close friends,
former teammates, coaches and Barry himself,
Barry Sanders: Out of Nowhere provides an
unprecedented glimpse into the Cowboy icon.
