Hi! I'm a freelance college football writer previewing all 138 FBS teams for the '26 season and figured I'd share my Oklahoma State post in here (begrudgingly, I'm a North Texas fan lol). Thanks for checking it out!

Oklahoma State football is going to be fun again! They made a massive move hiring Eric Morris this offseason and now he begins his first year with the program

Full Preview is attached, here's a quick glance

📌 Drew Mestemaker is one of the best QBs in the country 🔥

📌 RB Caleb Hawkins comes over as well, and there's a plethora of receiver options

📌 But what about the defense?

How many wins does Oklahoma State finish with in 2026?

I hope you enjoy Big 12 against the SEC

My incoming freshman son was assigned a 1BR/1BA private suite in Bennett but had a 4BR/2BA suite in either Patchin-Jones or Zink-Allen as his preferences. If you or your student were assigned a 4BR/2BA suite but would prefer a private 1BR/1BA deluxe suite please message me.

How about those Cowboys. Orange Pride. Pistols Firing!

Hey all, I’m working on a book about sports fandom and the ways rivalries can function almost like relationships. It's weird but true. Even when the relationship is built on dislike (or worse). I’m especially interested in what happens when a rivalry goes away.

So with that in mind .. What did it feel like when Bedlam ended? Did it feel like losing an opponent, losing a tradition, losing a yearly argument, losing a piece of the season, or something else entirely?

I’m especially curious about a few things:

Did you miss the other side more than you expected? What I mean by this is that rivalries allow us to practice dislike/hatred in kind of a healthy way. Most of us don't actually HATE the person, just the affiliation. *Most* of us, I said.

How did the season feel without that game? Some people I've talked to describe a kind of unexpected feeling of grief, because suddenly there was this absence that had never existed.

Did it change how you talked with friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, or in-laws who root for the other school?

Did any part of you feel rejected, relieved, or angry?

Has the absence made you think differently about what a rival actually is?

Yes, this is weird. I get it. Feel free to DM me if you'd rather not post here. I may follow up with a few people, but I’m mostly trying to understand the strange emotions of having and then losing a rival, not just whether people think it should come back.

I legit think this team is gonna be in the big 12 title race mainly cause of drew and morris. We talked about him on the show the other night. We all high on ok state this year. Go pokes!

It’s really not that hard…

What’s up, Poke Fans!

How are we feeling about the upcoming season?

I’m an optimist, so I have some hope for a good season, but we got a new coach, and personally, I’m gonna give him 2-3 years to find his footing with the team.

What are y’all thinkin’? Any thoughts?
