Digital Magazine

I wanted to share my digital magazine that I worked so hard on! It is about the history of Oklahoma State University football and the traditions that go along with it.  I found out a lot of great information that I never would have known if I didn't have to do the research for it.  I hope you take the time to read it! Here is the link: Cowboy's digital magazine

Enjoy!

GO POKES!

Tips for new bloggers

As this semester comes to a close, I have realized, by making this blog, that it is not that hard to keep a journal. Even though I wrote about football, there were so many other things that I could have easily wrote about.  A couple tips for new bloggers would be to keep an open mind when sharing information. Don't be too scared to say what you want to say. Show your personality and don't fear that people will make fun of what you say. If you want to say something and don't because you are scared of being judged, then will end up being fake in your blog and it will show. A fake blogger doesn't get people near as interested in their material because it is not from the heart.

Life is about to take a new turn for me as I graduate in a couple of weeks and I hope I will have many experiences to share on my blog as I take a new turn in life.

Thank you Dr. Nichol's for everything you have taught me this semster and to everyone else, happy blogging!

GO POKES!!

Gettin Nervous...

So Oklahoma State, as of today, is now ranked no. 9 in the BCS poll. We are back to where we were at at the beginning of last season when we kicked Georgia's ass at our opening game. I'm so proud of my Cowboys for earning the No. 9 spot back, even though it has taken quite some time.

Next Saturday is Bedlam, and I am VERY nervous.  ESPN Gameday is coming to Stillwater so that is a huge opportunity for us to shine on national television.  College Game Day is a good reference for updates on the biggest rivalries in the nation and key players.  It is someone you should think about following on Twitter!! Its twitter name is @GameDayFootball and its website is CollegeGameDay.

Good luck to everyone next weekend and let the battle begin! GO POKES!!

P.S...Did anybody see the Nebraska vs. Texas A&M game??? YIKES.

GET EXCITED!! and watch my vlog!

I am soooooo proud of my Cowboys for kicking some longhorn a**!! It felt great and refreshing. We finally got over the huge mountain we have been climbing for years.

Too bad OU won their game over the weekend. They played Texas Tech and they played well.

I decided to create my own little Vlog to show you my excitement for the Cowboys..view it here:
My Beautiful OSU Vlog

Keep your spirits high and shining and GO POKES!!

Number 10 in the BCS? YEP!

So Oklahoma State played some dang good ball on Saturday, and Baylor just didn't show up to the first half of the game. Then OU lost to Texas A&M, which I must say helped Oklahoma State in the polls. Therefore we are now number 10 in the BCS!!

Alabama lost to LSU. That is there second loss this season. What is happening Alabama?!

I found a VLOG on youtube today that talks about college football. It's just a couple guys hanging out talking sports. It is pretty interesting. you should give it a look. Football VLOG

Everybody have a good week!

GO POKES!

My Podcast

I am going to switch gears a bit for this post and talk about my podcast, (even though I am super excited that OSU won against K-State! GO POKES!!)

I helped create a podcast over cyber-bullying, which is becoming a bigger deal every week, especially here lately.  Kids have committed suicide because they are being harassed online.  My podcast talks about prevention, statistics and what exactly cyber-bullying is. Please take a moment to listen to my podcast. If you are parent, please monitor your kids while they are online.  It could greatly slow down the cyber-bullying world.

Thanks!

Till Now, I Had Forgotten What It Feels Like To Lose

It felt amazing being undefeated (OSU), but eventually someone's got to lose I guess. And I guess it was just our time.  Nebraska played too well in the second half and got too far ahead for OSU to win.  It was a sad day in Cowboy Country, but that is okay.  OSU will rise again and recover from this I am sure!

OU got beat too!!! THAT makes me feel a lot better!!!  I knew I would have a hard time sleeping if OU won, but they didn't and that makes me a VERY happy girl. :)

Iowa State had a big come back on Saturday when they beat Texas!! That was unbelievable! Last week OU killed them. Iowa State couldn't even get a field goal last week and, then this week they went in there and just took over Texas.  I love it. I love watching the teams that I hate fall on their faces.

I hope everyone has a good week.

It's Time For The BCS Poll

The first BCS poll was announced this evening and OU is ranked No. 1!! Kudos to them, but it still makes me mad. OSU is ranked 14, but yet both OU and OSU are 6-0. It's just not fair...those computers are just not fair.

Nelson Chenault, from the US Presswire was interviewed this evening, and he spoke about OU.

 "As good as everything looks right now for Oklahoma, being number one in the BCS, I think it's a concern for them that they are not number one in the poll," Chenault said.

Right now the top team in the AP poll is Oregon, and that is where everyone would like to be.  That is when you can say 'it feels good to be me'.

On another note, OSU beat Texas Tech on their turf over the weekend, and that felt good because OSU has not beat Tech on their turf in about 50 years.

Next Saturday is homecoming for OSU and it should be a good match up against Nebraska.

GO POKES!

...And The Number 1 Team Falls.

Can you believe it??? ALABAMA GOT BEAT?! What is this world coming to??? I'm in shock, and I'm very sad.  This just messes up the whole AP poll...and OU is number 6???? Geez! They don't deserve it. OSU has played a lot better than they have so far, both teams are undefeated, but yet OSU can only catch a break big enough to reach number 20?? I'm just so confused right now.

The OSU game on Friday night against Louisiana Lafayette was like watching a highschool football game.  It didn't really look like a college game to me anyway.

Oh here's some big news...Georgia had their first win yesterday since the first game of the season. They beat Tennesee by quite a few. Props to the Bulldogs.

Did anyone catch the Nebraska game last Thursday night? I caught part of it while I was sittin in the Chicago airport sipping a margarita.  That game was such a joke. SUCH a joke.

Well I always say it's getting good, and well....the pot is definetely getting stirred.  I can't wait to see what happens next weekend to shake up the polls even more.

Texas was a good sport about it...

Well, the news has created a lot of hype about Texas falling out of the Top 25 on the AP poll.  Mack Brown, head coach for the Texas Long Horns, still takes pride in his team, even though they were inches away from a win.
"We had too many penalties and they were game changers,"  Brown said.
All I have to say to that is Colt McCoy is gone, what do you expect when you lose the one man you need on your one-man team??  They obviously are not playing as well as they should this season.  I'm glad they fell out of the top 25 and aren't overrated!

Anyway,  Last Thursday night was the highlight of the year so far in my opinion, when OSU and Texas A&M were head to head with a minute left in the game.  I was on edge and I know everyone around me was too. I'm just so thankful we intercepted at the end for the win.

Alabama put a whippin on Florida, which really just doesn't surprise me.

This Friday, OSU goes to Louisiana-Lafayette for a good ole fashion beat down on Lafayette (I hope).

It's gettin good...

First of all...umm, WOW. Did you see that close game with OU and Air Force?? I was REALLLLLY cheering for the Air Force hard. It could have been the biggest upset of the week, but they failed me. It's okay. They played hard. I still got to give them an A for effort.

Well, according to the USA Today poll http://espn.go.com/college-football/rankings, OKLAHOMA STATE is No. 25!!! woohoo...finally pushed ourselves up in the top 25. We just have to keep it going with a big win against Texas A&M next Thursday night! I called it that we would make it to the top 25 and nobody believed me. I said if we play hard against Tulsa and show them who their daddy is, we would most likely be no. 25; and thank you Jesus we did. Now we just have to keep going and going.

Nebraska beat Washington by 35 points. Good job.

TEXAS played Texas Tech last week and man...they had their work cut out for them, for awhile at least. I was pulling for Tech of course...but they failed me as well.

Looks like the only team who didn't fail me last week was my OSU Cowboys. I hope they come through for me again next week. Until then, I will have to focus on Alabama...after all, I'm headed to their game this weekend against Arkansas...ROLL TIDE!

Really OSU??

First off, I am not satisfied what so ever with the way we performed on Saturday against Troy.  I realize Troy has some great athletes, but we should have beat them by more than three lousy points!!  Apparently some of the guys had butter fingers.  I was clinching my teeth when we had one minute to go and everything was in our favor, when we fumbled the ball.  At that point I thought we were done.  But what do ya know? Troy realized how pissed I would have been if they could have ran the ball.  Instead they decided to give us the ball back with a fumble! Ha. That whole game was just a sh!t show.

Iowa kicked booty. End of story.

OU...umm WOW. Is that even the same team that played against Utah State?? I think a whole new team showed up on Saturday!! (sucks though, I really wanted them to lose.)

Texas beat Wyoming. Did anyone think they wouldn't? Me either.

Kansas beat Georgia Tech by three points. I'm in shock that they won.

Well, Georgia AND Georgia Tech dropped out of the USA Today top 25 and OU is number 9.  OSU has 55 points.  We just need a little extra push and maybe we can get to at least number 25?? lol...we'll see. Maybe we can make it happen this weekend with Tulsa.

Football Week 1!!

NCAA football week one has already got me fired up.

Let me introduce. My name is Amanda Brown and I'm a senior at Oklahoma State University. I love football.  Therefore, my blog will probably be, for the most part, about football. No, i'm not a tom-boy. lol.

Let me start off by saying that OSU kicked major booty last Saturday against Washington State. I'm proud of my team.  I hope we play like that the rest of the season.  Playing Washington State was like playing a highschool team; so I feel like that was a warm up. We need to keep the fire in us.

Second of all, OU has got to be the most OVER RATED school in the country.  They struggled to beat Utah State and they only dropped one spot to No. 8 on the USA Today poll. C'mon, really???  They DO NOT deserve that much credit.  Actually, they should not have been in the top 10 starting off in the first place.

Moving on.

I'm proud of USC with their win against Hawaii.  Oh, I'm also proud of the Georgia Bulldogs for scoring 55 points, even though they were also playing a weisle team, Louisiana Lafayette.  OSU opened against the Bulldogs last season and they struggled. Needless to say they did not beat us, but this year is looking up for them.  Let's see, Iowa played well against Eastern Illinois scoring 37 points on them.  Eastern Illinois came out of that battlefield with one touchdown.

I can't wait for this weekend when OSU plays the big ole bully Troy...haha (this should be an easy win too).

GO POKES!
