Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy has adapted with a little Deion Sanders mode... and I LOVE IT! I was wrong about the Deion Sanders transfer heavy market approach being the wrong move. My bad CU Buff country. Underestimating Deion Sanders Colorado squad while severely overestimating the Cowboys returning 20 starters and almost 90% of a 10 win roster was a gut punch/wake up call that we needed. Mike Gundy can launch himself into new territory fairly quickly that would help obtain the additional $21 Mi...

New DC Todd Grantham is cruising while Doug Meacham has now brought in enough fire powers on offense to force the expectations to climb again as well.

Oklahoma State produced the best RB in America in 2023 and now Cam Scattebo just proved to be the best RB in the country yet again. Boise State's Ashton Jeanty is no doubt an amazingly talented RB but he's not on the same level as Arizona State's Cam Scattebo in 2024 nor was he close to Ollie Gordon in 2023. The case for getting out of the G5 may have just received a big boost. David Taylor has turned the wrestling tide in Stillwater to almost back where we belong. A team National Championship m...

Locked On Sun Devils host Richie Bradshaw, Oklahoma State & Big 12 country are rocking the Forks Up as Arizona State takes on that team we do not speak of way down south.

Oklahoma State hoops is a long way from competing for a Big 12 championship. That doesn't mean that the season can't instantly capture everyone's attention by beating Houston tonight.

Oklahoma State WR room needed a big boost after the departure of Brennan Presley. Royal Capell is just that and more! This 5'10 196lb speedster has explosive capabilities that come with a relentless desire to dominate every single route. 11 second 100-meter speed does not grow on trees, it is special.

YES, I'm saying there's a chance that if Mike Gundy refused to cooperate with restructuring & reallocation of funds then he absolutely actually could be FIRED. I still think cooler heads will prevail, this likely isn't the end of the Gundy Era because surely even Mike Gundy can understand the need to reorganize the organization and his contract specifically. Jaylan Beckley & Royal Cappel are the commits that stayed committed and yelled the loudest about the mission to keep this class mos...
