#OKState
is the first team in Big 12 history to have a 4,000-yard passer (Rudolph), 1,000-yard rusher (Hill) and two 1,000-yard receivers (Washington, Ateman).
My sister and I spent the day with our mom and took her to her doctor’s appointment. And we get to celebrate Christmas extra because MY GOD AND MY MOM BEAT CANCER!!!
This was one of the coolest sports moments I’ve ever witnessed, as a student section chanted a player’s name as he got the ball and scored the first TD of a rivalry game.
#OKState
's James Washington had the perfect answer about skipping the bowl game: “That never crossed my mind. In my mind, that’s like disloyalty. If I sign a scholarship to play here, I’m gonna play every game that I can."
#OKState
fans, before you start gunning for Dunn’s job because of offensive struggles, remember you’ve had basically the same frustrations with every OC under Gundy. There’s a common denominator there, and maybe that’s the problem that needs to be solved.
I’m ecstatic to announce that Wednesday I’ll start a new job
@tulsaworld
, the newspaper I grew up reading. I’ll be a utility man for
@TWSportsExtra
, covering a little bit of everything, from TU football, to
#okpreps
.
Daton Fix becomes the first five-time conference champion in Big 12 and
#okstate
history. He’s also never lost a match to a conference opponent.
Not many people can be the first to do anything for Cowboy wrestling.
🚨🚨🚨
Top portal prospect, heavyweight All-American Wyatt Hendrickson, announced on The Barn Session Podcast that he is transferring to
#okstate
.
HUGE first get for David Taylor.
One time I witnessed Ammendola try to convince two girls he really was on the
#okstate
football, even pointing to his team shirt as evidence. I’d like to think he’s still doing that at Power & Light District. Life of a kicker, man.
Air Force heavyweight Wyatt Hendrickson is officially in the transfer portal, On3 and
@PeteNakos_
confirm. He's listed with a "do not contact" tag.
Hendrickson went 96-11 in four seasons and is a 2x All-American, finishing 3rd at HWT twice.

@TransferPortal_
Wyatt Hendrickson visited
#okstate
before David Taylor was even hired and the former staff was still in charge.
"But I gotta say it was for the better because David Taylor was really the guy who made me love wrestling.”
That's why DT got the job. That right there.
Today is the unveiling of
@tulsaworld
's People to Watch in 2020, a list of 10 incredible people that includes
#okstate
wrestler Daton Fix (
@_Greatest_Ever1
), who this summer, could accomplish his dream of being an Olympian for
@USAWrestling
.
There's a group of
#okstate
fans in the front row at Chapman Stadium wearing all orange and holding signs campaigning for Chuba Hubbard's Heisman campaign.
They had to raise the bar for WR James Washington’s last attempt. He notched a 39” vertical, good enough for top 5 at the NFL combine.
After this attempt Washington’s mom said “Thank you, Jesus!”
This is my last week
@tulsaworld
. It was a dream since 5th grade to see my byline in the newspaper I grew up reading, and I accomplished that. Now, God has new plans. Unlike most, I’m blessed to be able to exit this profession on my own, and I’m ecstatic for what’s next.

In honor of
#Bedlam
wrestling this weekend, my favorite story of the rivalry comes courtesy of
@KyleCrutchmer
, who was planning to wrestle at OU before John Smith walked into his home.
#OKState
had two teams tonight playing in big-time meaningful games with a lot on the line and both teams actually came through.
A rare easy night for the OSU faithful.
Career update: I’m excited to announce that I will be Editor-in-chief of
@OColly
during the spring semester. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to hopefully give back to the organization that has given me so much.
Two years ago today, DeShawn Caldwell (
@DeShawnC23
) died on his high school basketball court. Today, he’s a manager on
#okstate
’s basketball team.
Here’s his story:
#OKState
's Daton Fix emerged as a villain this week. That should never happen to a guy like him. After losing in the NCAA finals for a fourth time, he even faced the media.
'I’m a person just like everybody else.'
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Introducing 5-star son Denver Matthew Gregory!! He’s got all the intangibles at 20 1/4 inches and 7 pounds, 15 ounces.
I cannot put into words how much he already means to us and how much we love him.
New ownership with a complete rebrand and roster overhaul, then after all that hype, the season was halted by a pandemic, eventually shortening the season and limiting seating. This club was left to die. Well freakin’ done,
@FCTulsa
!
Tulsa, you got yourself a soccer club!!
This would be my fifth season covering
#okstate
wrestling coach John Smith, and after today's dual was definitely the most animated I've ever seen him during interviews. He even asked me if I've ever been in a fight before, to which I responded no because I'm not as tough as him
Gov. Stitt about wearing a mask: “It may take some getting used to, but it’s a small price to pay to be able to keep our businesses open, our economy running, and to be able to watch OU and OSU stick it to the shorthorns on the football field in the fall.”
Two-time heavyweight All-American Wyatt Hendrickson is transferring to
#okstate
as David Taylor's first commitment since taking over.
More from
@pistolsguys
⤵️
At this point
#okstate
will never not have a star in MMA. By the time Daniel Cormier retires, which will probably be soon, Crutchmer will be big-time because he’s rising fast.
Alan Bowman seems to have understood the assignment since taking over as
#okstate
’s QB1, whether that means wearing jerseys of Cowboy legends or game managing Bedlam wins. (via
@pistolsguys
)
The exchange started because Smith mentioned that a few wrestlers showed “anxiety” during matches today. He did a great job reminding us that, yes, wrestling is fighting, and that’s where the anxiety and hesitation came from.
Gundy said the two coaching staffs are planning to meet after the game to figure out why they did certain things and learn. Said they did the same thing with Washington after the Cactus Bowl.
It’s like opposite weekend. OSU is dominating OU in a softball series. OU football players are transferring to Stillwater instead of leaving for Norman.
Changing of the guard?
By the way, there’s still a former national champion available in the portal. And
#okstate
is apparently a favorite to land him. I don’t think David Taylor is finished yet, just getting started.
Former Air Force heavyweight Wyatt Hendrickson posted on Instagram that
#okstate
was his first of four visits. Hendrickson is easily the best talent in the portal right now.

@Masonfine09
will become
#GMG
’s all-time leading passer, but yet the guy who’s also the best QB in
#okpreps
history is still humble as ever.
“I just keep my head down, be humble about everything, give God the glory, praise my teammates, because without them, I’m nothing.”
Mason Fine is 16 yards away from becoming UNT’s all-time passer, but you wouldn’t know he’s about to statistically be the best
#GMG
quarterback in history by talking to him.
I did it, however, I did say “breast” instead of “blessed” during my vows, then Sara couldn’t stop laughing to get her vows out. So enjoy the video of our rom-com ceremony.
Cade Cunningham skips the alma-mater to do ESPN interviews. What a me guy. NBA teams definitely shouldn’t draft him yet and let him mature for another year.
I covered a Sugar Bowl, Alamo Bowl, College World Series and
#Bedlam
football while with
@ocollysports
. By far, GIA during a big-time
#okstate
wrestling dual was the best atmosphere I was ever present for.
#Rudolph2Washington
.
That TD makes James Washington
#okstate
's all-time leading receiver. What a career by a guy whose only other D1 offer was Texas State.
