STILLWATER – Early Sunday morning, actually just after the clocks have been pushed back an hour at two a.m. for daylight savings time, Mike Gundy pulled into the West End Zone parking lot and went upstairs to his office on the coach’s level. It was four a.m. in the morning. Gundy had already called for an earlier than usual all staff meeting for Sunday morning.

Nope...I do not want to see them there. Let's get Texas and send them out with a loss. I know it could happen but let's think positive about OSU beating both of the "blue bloods" as they become SEC fodder.

We need a laser focus this week on UCF and nothing else, it's pass / fail each week. If you fail, you go back to the end of the line team goal wise, win pokes win!

Let's be honest. Yes, gooners are gooners, and I won't miss the obnoxious fans. But, we built a national brand in football despite playing second fiddle to OU for a long time. Our Bedlam wins in the last 20 years have served to validate our rise in the college football world. The fact is OU's football success gave us a benchmark to aspire to and an enemy to demonize. So, we will all miss Bedlam when November rolls around each year. I'm confident we can replace Bedlam with other goals and continue our rise to football prominence. But, I personally hope 2023 is not the final Bedlam and that we have some chances to kick their butts again some time down the road. Go Pokes!

let's be honest... we got NOTHING by playing the GOONS. Zero.

We beat the snot out of Texas the past few years, and what has that gotten us? Not squat.

By no longer playing the goons, our in-State recruiting should begin to improve, or Texas recruiting should improve, our W/L percentage could certainly improve, and with all of those our "national image" (i.e., media perception)

Winning the B12 on multiple seasons will do far more for OSU and our Image than ever playing one single game against the goons.

good riddance
