Because I (and most of my talented, great friends at Sellout Crowd) was laid off this week, here’s a few of my recent bylines that resonated with readers.
Below: How Toby Keith used a camera crew and the wishbone offense to coach a Pee Wee football team to glory in the 2000’s:
Ollie Gordon, Brennan Presley and Leon Johnson III have arrived at BPS to greet the hundreds of
#okstate
students camping out for Big 12 Championship tickets.
Presley is driving the Gator and Gordon is carrying the boombox.
Ollie Gordon just led the OSU spirit run at the Greenwood Tennis Center. He’s been everywhere since winning the Doak Walker Award.
No. 3
#okstate
is up 1-0 on No. 6 Pepperdine after winning the doubles point.
Kelly Maxwell might be the best pitcher in college softball right now. Don’t take it from me, take it from the stats.
Here is the total line for OSU’s ace in Regionals/Super Regionals:
———————————————
3 complete games
0 runs
38 K’s
6 hits
3 walks
Astonishing, at least to me.
Not pictured, but
#okstate
DC Bryan Nardo just slid into Ollie Gordon’s interview.
“I’m proud of you. You always interrupt my interviews, I’ll interrupt yours.” Nardo said
#okstate
coach Mike Gundy spoke to the possibility of OSU adding to its football recruiting staff.
Gundy said he’d like to get closer to the SEC standard.
(Question from
@CodyNagel247
)
Brianna Evans is different. She starts as a freshman for
#okstate
and bats close to .400. Off the field, she is a philosophy major trying for seminary and leads a life that impacts her coach.
She’s a good player to have on your team. Ask Deion Sanders.
I spoke with Eddie Sutton’s three sons and three of his former OSU players.
Ahead of tomorrow’s Remember the 10 game, read about how a night of sorrowing phone calls changed the legendary coach forever.

“If a player doesn’t know you care about them, they won’t care what you know.”
That’s the mentality of Bryan Nardo, OSU’s new defensive coordinator. As he did his interview, the offensive players walking off hollered their support.
#okstate
players seem to really like him.
Excited to announce I’ll be covering Oklahoma State sports full time for
We’ve assembled an incredible team of writers that I’m thrilled to join. Stay tuned for big things.
Morgan Day gets a standing ovation from the record crowd in Cowgirl Stadium. Also chants of “Morgan, Morgan.”
The fifth-year senior has really endeared herself to OSU fans since transferring in the offseason.
Don’t overlook No. 90 Braden Cassity’s block on OSU’s first overtime touchdown. He cleared out three BYU defenders.
I wrote about tight ends and fullbacks upgrading OSU’s rushing game a few weeks ago. Read more on that below:
#okstate
golfing great Rickie Fowler talks Cowboys on tour, the changes to Karsten Creek and Viktor Hovland:
Fowler is one of six inductees to OSU’s Hall of Honor tonight.
Vanessa Shippy-Fletcher, OSU’s assistant coach, does more than collect elbow pads and tell jokes when runners reach first base.
Coach Kenny Gajewski credits his former player with changing OSU softball’s entire culture.

I knew I was in the good old days before I left them.
Blessed that I can share a job announcement with my graduation pics. My next step is being a sports reporter for The Lawton Constitution. I’ll cover
#okpreps
, Cameron University and some OSU home games in BPS.
What happened to the goal post that OSU fans threw in Theta Pond after Bedlam? And who ended up with them?
The story involves ingenious students, a Wendy’s drive through, some late-night sawing, a police station and memories that will last a lifetime.
Mike Boynton said in his press conference today that OSU lost a recruit due to the ongoing NCAA appeal process.
Said other schools can hammer it into recruits that
#okstate
is getting punished hard.
Did Rashod Owens just hit Texas A&M with one of these as his celebration? If so, that's one of the coldest TD celebrations I've ever seen.
Owens has 155 yards and two TD's today.
I talked with
#okstate
WR Brennan Presley postgame. He was sick-as-a-dog for the last title game and reflective in this one
He’s undeclared about coming back. But he was declarative about his disappointment and the importance of taking it all in.
Mike Boynton joins a host of other OSU athletes and coaches in a dunk tank plunge.
The Chilly Cowboy raised over $50,000 this year for Special Olympics.
Today, somewhere in Oklahoma, someone unwrapped a donut-sized piece of upright from OSU’s bedlam win.
Here’s how it happened; one of my favorite stories I’ve written this year.
"There's going to be a lot of fluidity in the roster, honestly."

#okstate
basketball coach Mike Boynton.
He said he's met with every player on the roster to discuss what's next. Said he's also been active communicating in the transfer portal.
Oklahoma State extends its streak of Bedlam dominance. The Cowgirl soccer team wins 3-2 tonight in Stillwater.
#okstate
is 30-9-4 all time against the Sooners.
The history of
@CowgirlFC
is marked by a locker rooms in a kitchen and a private jet.
I talked with past players, current players and the coaches who have been at
#okstate
since 1996 to chronicle the wacky 25-year past of the program.
“Your time is coming.”
Coach Kenny Gajewski’s words to Morgan Day have proved true. And now Day is proving she belongs at the top of college softball. My story from OSU’s 6-1 victory against Texas:

Cowgirl basketball coach Jacie Hoyt throws the first pitch and OSU is set to play Iowa State.
No. 3
#okstate
is 38-3, and can move to 8-0 in Big 12 play with a win.
Oklahoma State beats Baylor in almost exactly two hours.
The Cowgirls won 2-0. Kelly Maxwell was, again, fantastic. OSU has yet to lose a Big 12 game and will go for the sweep of Baylor tomorrow.
For my money, that was OSU’s most physical, bruising game of the year. It is also undoubtedly OSU’s best win.
The Cowboys beat No. 11 Iowa State in Ames. Abysmal Cyclone FT shooting helped them immensely.
Thanks to the folks who read, interacted with and listened to what
@Ben_Hutchens_
and I did covering OSU football this season.
I’m excited for next year. The best way to find everything will be our new SC app. Stay tuned for all sorts of content on there.
BREAKING:
#okstate
soccer has made the NCAA tournament as an at-large bid. The Cowgirls have earned a bye and will face the winner of Colorado and South Alabama.
Fun fact about OSU’s opponent tomorrow — Rob Ezell, the former Alabama player with a hilarious Nick Saban impression — is on South Alabama’s coaching staff.
This all but cements that
#okstate
will host a super regional.
As they did during OU’s Bedlam sweep in Norman, the Cowgirls and Sooners are huddling together for a postgame prayer.
I’ll preview what is probably going to be a pretty cool IG pic.
Miranda Elish met up with her sister Madi, who plays for Arizona, after the game for a hug. Nice moment at the
#WCWS
OSU beats Arizona 4-2
#okstate
WR Leon Johnson III has gone from D3 football to helping propel the Cowboys to AT&T Stadium. He didn’t plan to be Stillwater famous this year, and it cost him his redshirt.
A story on life changes, sacrifice and Guitar Center:
OSU softball coach Kenny Gajewski has expressed his hope for "a mini O'Brate" one day. That day is coming.
#okstate
announced plans for a new softball stadium today. Everything we know:
It’s been a historic weekend for OSU softball.
An audiobook, stellar pitching and a clutch walk all led up to the Cowgirls’ win against the No. 1 Sooners for OSU’s first-ever Big 12 Championship.

With their punishment handed down,
@OSUMBB
only has one chance of playing in March Madness—a successful appeal. I consulted legal experts to understand the appeal process better, and to gauge if the exciting

team could play in the tourney.
