PreGame Summary - Oklahoma State

Presenting this week's PreGame Summary for the Novices. Texas plays Oklahoma State at Stillwater, OK.

Mascot: They are the Cowboys (or girls) with Pistol Pete, the lengend Frank "Pistol Pete" Eaton and Bullet, the horse. (My note: Last week, I got Oklahoma State's mascot mixed up with Tech. This is the one that is kinda scary looking. His head is real big and he is unshaven.)

Colors: Orange and Black (Sometimes called Highway Orange, since that is what color prisioners wear when picking up trash on the highways.)

Location: Stillwater, OK.

Main Rival: A&M. It really came to light in this incident.

Unique Tradions/Misc: They have several traditions, but my favorite is "The Walk": A tradition that began with head coach Les Miles continues with head coach Mike Gundy. The night before football games, the team stays in the Atherton Hotel at the Student Union. On game day, two hours and fifteen minutes prior to the start of the game, the team walks down Hester Street to Boone Pickens Stadium. Coach Gundy leads the spirited parade, followed by the OSU Marching band, the spirit squad, and, of course, the players. Fans already at the stadium gather on the side of the road and cheer their Cowboys on to victory. This tradition quickly became a favorite of Cowboy fans, creating a new and exciting way for the team to enter the stadium.

Misc: OSU is a really big basketball school and there is a larger fan base for that sport. One year we were tailgating after a game and there was a quarter of a mile line to get into the basketball court to watch a scrimmage. Not even a real game.

Famous Players: None of note.

Spread:-37.5 (If you bet with a spread on Texas, they have beat OSU by 37.5 points for you to win.)

How they have been playing: They have one 3 games and lost 4 games. They have not beat any of the Big 12 conference teams.

What we have to watch for: As before, as long as Texas does not give the game to Tech, we will win.
