🎥 OSU MAX: THE RIDE

A week after beating Kansas State inside Boone Pickens Stadium, the Oklahoma State Cowboys took care of business against Kansas in redemption games after losing to the same two teams during the 2022 season.

Go inside the meeting rooms, hear from players about the week, get an inside look at Terry Miller's Ring of Honor day and relive the magic of the 39-32 win over the Jayhawks as the Cowboys move to 4-2 on the season.

🤠 THE BIG 4️⃣-0️⃣-0️⃣

It's safe to say that no one has been a bigger part of Cowboy football than Coach Gundy.

As we mentioned yesterday, tomorrow’s game in Morgantown will mark his 400th game as an Oklahoma State Cowboy.

He was on the team as a player for 46 games in four seasons from 1986 through 1989, was an assistant coach for 116 games in 10 seasons from 1990-95 and 2001-04, and has been with the program for 237 games in 19 seasons as the head coach from 2005 until now.

Relive some of the best that OSUMax has to offer with Coach Gundy.

🎙: Pokes Pod - Coach Gundy

What drew Coach Gundy to Stillwater? What makes OSU so special? What’s his coaching philosophy? The legendary Cowboy sat down prior to last fall and talked to OSUMax about that and so much more in a two-part Pokes Pod: Face to Face.
