Cowboys Rebuilding

Mike Gundy, the Oklahoma State Cowboys coach, is now facing the obstacle of completely rebuilding the team. This will be Gundy’s sixth season with the team and it is the first time in a while without a seasoned quart back, outstanding receiver, seven stellar defensive starters and the Cowboys’ All-American offensive tackle. In order to help out the transition, Gundy hired on Dana Holgorsen as the offensive coordinator. During spring training, the Cowboys players showed great potential leaving Mike Gundy feeling a bit of relief.

Oklahoma State Cowboys

The Oklahoma State University Cowboys football team didn’t join a conference until 1915. Originally, the team was known as the Oklahoma A&M Aggies. The Cowboys have gone through major changes over the decades, which includes switching conferences or Athletic Associations a few times over. In May of 1957, Oklahoma A&M officially changed their name to Oklahoma State University and became a part of the Big Eight Conference a year later. Not until 1996 would OSU become part of the Big 12 Conference as we know them today.

Currently, the head coach is Mike Gundy who has been apart of the team for four seasons. Gundy is an alum of OSU and the Cowboys football team. While Gundy was on the football team, the Cowboys had their greatest seasons including two of only three 10-win seasons in school history. Gundy also set college football season records with 2,628 yards rushing, 3,249 total yards, 234 points, 39 touchdowns, of which 37 were rushing (also a record), five consecutive 200 yard games, scored at least two touchdowns in eleven consecutive games, and 9 times he scored at least three touchdowns. All of these accomplishments won Mike Gundy the Heisman Trophy as the season’s best player. The OSU Cowboys are happy to have Gundy at the forefront of their team.

The OSU Cowboys currently play on the Lewis Field, in Boone Pickens Stadium. The stadium was recently remodeled with extensive changes and expansions, which brought a whole new atmosphere to the fans.
