Spencer Sanders on the loss:
“Obviously, we’re gonna get a lot of hate but it’s fuel. I’m not really worried about it. If you want to hate, then you get out there and do it. See how well you do. I’m not too concerned.”

.
“First off, that’s a hell of a football team we played. They’re going to be in the national picture as the season goes on and I can easily see them winning this league.”
One bout remaining but Oklahoma State has already secured its 13th consecutive Bedlam win. This pushes the series record to 146-27-10. Oklahoma hasn't won since Dec. 1, 2013.
I would like to apologize for the section I added in the recent AJ Ferrari article.
We misread the document. He did NOT have actions with a child under 16. That was part A of the statute. He was charged with part B which is OVER 16. We corrected and deeply regret the error.
Just finished covering the Cowgirls tennis match and I was leaving the Greenwood Tennis Center when I heard a soft “thud”. I immediately jaywalked across McElroy road and picked this up off the grass!
