We want to hear from you!

  1. At Oklahoma State University, we have "The Walk". Orange clad fans line Hester street, from the Atherton Hotel (where the team stays) to Boone Pickens Stadium. As the team leaves the hotel, they are escorted by the university police, the band, and the spirit squad. Fans cheer as the players walk down the street and the band plays. As the last Cowboy walks by, the fans fall in line behind the team and create a sea of orange to the stadium. The Walk ends with a pep rally in front of the stadium.

    Another favorite tradition is our horse, Bullet, running on to the field after every touchdown. There is nothing like hearing the words "Here! Comes! Bullet!!!!!" and seeing that beautiful black horse take the field.

    I love being a Cowboy. GO POKES!
