Howdy Partner! It's Oklahoma State Football Time (But Maybe Not Today...)
So, you're ready to ditch the lawnmower, dust off your trusty orange pistol Pete (or at least an orange-hued beverage), and cheer on the Oklahoma State Cowboys! Hold your horses (or Sooner Schooners, as the case may not be) because it's mid-July. Football season is still a way off, but fret not, fellow fan! Here's a guide to prep you for when those glorious Saturdays roll around.
How To Watch Oklahoma State Football Today |
Where in the world will the Cowboys be playing?
Great question, partner! Since we're all practicing our psychic skills until kickoff, the exact schedule isn't out yet. But fear not! The Cowboys typically hold down the fort at Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater, Oklahoma – a place so loud on game day, you might just hear a "Go Pokes!" echo all the way to Texas.
Pro Tip: Bookmark the official Oklahoma State Athletics website [Oklahoma State Athletics website] to stay on top of the schedule release. That way, you can plan your cheering accordingly (and maybe snag some tickets before they're gone faster than a greased pig at a county fair).
But what about watching from the comfort of my couch?
Ah, a fan of convenience, we see! There are several ways to catch the Cowboys in action, depending on your technological savvy and budget. Here's a rundown:
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.
Channel Surfing Champion: The old-fashioned way! Games are often broadcast on national networks like ESPN, ABC, FOX, and FS1. Just dust off that remote and get ready to channel surf like a champ.
Streaming Superhero: For the cord-cutters out there, streaming services like Hulu + Live TV, YouTube TV, or FuboTV can be your heroes. These offer live TV packages that might include the channel showing the game. Just check their listings beforehand – you wouldn't want to miss a touchdown because you were stuck watching competitive yodeling (although, that can be pretty intense too).
Big 12 Fanatic: Die-hard Big 12 Conference supporter? Then ESPN+ is your best friend. This streaming service offers many Oklahoma State games (and other conference goodness) for a monthly subscription fee.
Remember: Subscription fees and channel availability can change, so do your research before kickoff to pick the option that best suits your needs.
How to Talk the Talk While You Watch the Walk
So you've got the game on, the snacks are prepped, but you want to sound like a seasoned Oklahoma State fan? Here's a crash course:
- Go Pokes! – This is your battle cry. Chant it loud, chant it proud!
- Pistols Firing! – Another spirited cheer, especially when the Cowboys are on offense.
- Walsh? Walsh! We Want Walsh! – Pay homage to the legendary coach Mike Gundy with this playful chant (though hopefully it won't be necessary this season!).
Bonus points: Learn the school fight song, "Fight On, Cowboys Fight!" Belt it out at key moments and solidify your superfan status.
QuickTip: Pause to connect ideas in your mind.
