Mustangs -11.5

And you guessed it, a total shit hole. You would think there would be a little excitement in the town and around campus with a big Div 1 school coming to play your team. Not a peep. I'm almost insulted. Not to mention one of the dumbest and most ill-informed fan bases I've come across. They keep asking my family if we're from Tulsa. Kenny jr is about to double leg the shit out of all these losers.

I asked for an Applebees for pregaming and they told me how to get to the nearest Chilis. LOL what a fvcking shit hole. Can't wait to beat them by 100 and leave this dump.

Lettuce all remember the only good thing to come out of Arkansas. The rest can be given back to the Indians for all I care.

Guilty on all counts of tax evasion.

How Rob Glass, Oklahoma State, turned a 'rail' thin Kendal Daniels into a monster of a linebacker​

Tyler Waldrep​

OSU Sports Writer

STILLWATER — For those who haven’t seen Oklahoma State linebacker Kendal Daniels in a few months, there’s really only one appropriate way to respond these days.
“Oh my god, this dude is huge,” said Rod Thompson, a longtime family friend.

For those who haven’t seen the now 240-pounder in years, there might not be words to describe the change the once 185-pound prospect underwent off the field. Although, Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy took a stab at doing that this week.

Here’s the scouting report on the Daniels Gundy recruited.

“Basketball player, thin, rail, zero muscle,” Gundy said.

Hardly words a college coach would use to describe a starting linebacker, especially not at a program with college football playoff aspirations.

During his recruitment, Daniels weighed roughly 185 pounds. His official weight listed on his freshman year roster in 2021 had him at 195, but this season the former safety-turned-linebacker now weighs 240.

“I look back on his pictures and I’m like oh my god my baby was so little… now he’s just like a monster,” his mother Carmelita Daniels said. “I look at him and I tell him every time I see him, I will be like, ‘Kendal, it looks like you grew.’”

Building the monster​

In the last 12 or so months, Daniels has put on an additional 27 pounds. That’s almost three times his previous biggest gain at Oklahoma State.
However, that has little to do with his position change this fall. In fact, correctly predicting such a size increase was a big reason the Cowboys began looking at moving him to linebacker in the first place.

“He was going to outgrow that position,” Oklahoma State strength and conditioning coach Rob Glass said in an exclusive interview with the World. “That is just what was happening as his body matured. This is a more advantageous position for him from where it currently lives just as far as his body type. This will be a little more comfortable for him playing a little closer to the ball.”

Sometimes Oklahoma State recruits guys with an expectation that they will undergo such a dramatic physical change and grow into a different role. That wasn’t the case with Daniels, although both Glass and Gundy now realize why their initial calculations were off.

“He’s a multi-sport guy (at Beggs), and he’s not put on any weight because he never stops moving,” Gundy said.

Interestingly enough, Oklahoma actually recruited Daniels to be a linebacker. His mother said the Sooners were the only school that preferred him for that role. Almost everyone else envisioned him at safety, although a few schools like Clemson planned to use him in multiple spots the same way they did a former Tiger who currently plays linebacker for the New York Giants.


“Clemson when coach (Brent) Venables, Venables was the one that was recruiting him at Clemson,” Carmelita Daniels said. “And he told him he was kind of more of a like an Isaiah Simmons.”
If everything goes Daniels’ way, the two players might have similar destinations, but they have very different beginnings. For one thing, Simmons started his college career weighing roughly 220 pounds.

“Coach Glass’ hall of fame is a big one,” Gundy said. “There’s a lot of them, but Kendal certainly falls in that category.”
Glass said Daniels jumps higher and runs faster, a 4.6ish guy in the 40-yard dash, according to the strength coach. That his numbers continue to improve despite the added weight gives Glass confirmation that the increased weight is a good thing for his future career.

Despite what looks like a sharp change from the outside, Glass insists his staff didn’t have to change anything up this offseason where Daniels was concerned. This was just the natural evolution of his body.

“It is a tribute to Kendal,” Glass said. “Because he was willing to put the sweat equity into work and immerse himself in our program. … He was dedicated and committed and really applied himself every day.”

Ready to rumble​

KD Frosh year at 195

The start of the season always puts a few butterflies in Carmelita Daniels’ stomach, but ahead of the season-opening win against South Dakota State, she found a new measure of peace.

“He seems calm this year,” Carmelita Daniels said. “He seems like he’s in his element, like this is what he likes to do. Because he likes to go hit. This to me is more the style of his play. … He likes to go after the ball, he likes to go after the quarterback.”

It helps that former Beggs football coach David Tenison warned his former player that he might outgrow his spot in the secondary since his high school days. Before anyone asks Tenison for lottery numbers, he’s quick to add that even he didn’t envision the extent to which Daniels would grow.

“I didn’t anticipate his body transitioning as much as it has to how thick and solid he is now. … I know he’s worked very diligently in the weight room to prepare himself,” Tenison said.

The former Beggs coach is one of many who believe that Daniels’ time in Oklahoma State’s secondary will pay dividends for the rest of his career as he brings athleticism and coverage skills to his new role.

“Coverage is not going to be a problem,” Oklahoma State linebacker Nick Martin said. “He played safety, so that’s a strong suit now.”

Martin added that Daniels has been a natural at his new position since he first started working on it during the winter. Just don’t expect to see him reach his potential anytime soon.

“Kendal was good, but has a lot of room for improvement,” Gundy said. “Because he’s in an area that he’s not as frequent with, where he hasn’t been as much. He should get better each week.”

Gundy set an Emporia State record for the most total yards by a quarterback in his Hornet and MIAA debut with 391 yards in the Hornets 30-14 Turnpike Tussle win over Washburn.

"
Oklahoma State is wanting that, too. They got their feelings hurt a little bit when big brother Oklahoma sailed off to the SEC and put a halt to their Bedlam rivalry. That taste hasn't left the mouths of the Cowboys' faithful.

Beating a team from the SEC might be as big as anything they've ever had at this point. Turning it into a statement win could be even larger. The Razorbacks aren't the only ones that feel they have a lot riding on this game."

@Ponca Dan

I hope you have had a good day and will have a relaxing evening.

Happy birthday, buddy.

Time for a US women to win and a US man to make the semis.

Ok, looked like a good turn out on TV, SDSU traveled really well! Arkansas fans will be trying to buy up tickets if they haven't already so please try to sell/trade tickets with OSU fans!!

Post if you need tickets, post if you have tickets for sale. I know we don't know the face value, so all that I can ask is to be reasonable with your asking price!! this is to get butts in seats not to make a profit, if you want that take your tickets to a 3rd party site and eat the fees.

Had a rock nail our windshield on a Toyota Highlander back in late March. Hit at the bottom of the glass and immediately sent a two foot long crack from bottom to top. Of course this windshield has the need to recalibrate safety sensors in the glass. Total cost of the windshield including recalibration approaches $2K. We filed the insurance claim in April. We find our claim on a national back order that then totaled 500 windshields. Total number is now down to 358. Wow that is real progress. By the time I get the windshield replaced I will be too old to drive. Reached the law of diminishing return relative to this supply chain shit and the cost to replace a piece of glass.

Whoa....I do not fill the least bit better. This country and our ability to do things has totally gone to shit.

@my_2cents @my__2cents @Ponca Dan @CowboyUp what's the spin on this? Why would Kamala do something so stupid to piss off military families AGAIN? She's still dealing with picking a VP that committed Stolen Valor, then this.

What a trainwreck of a campaign. As a Trump supporter, I think she's great!

Oklahoma State vs Arkansas predictions: Who wins Week 2 college football game?​

Justin Martinez
The Oklahoman

The Oklahoma State football team will continue its season with a home game against Arkansas at 11 a.m. Saturday.

OSU (1-0) earned a 44-20 home win over South Dakota State in Week 1, while Arkansas (1-0) earned a 70-0 home win over Arkansas-Pine Bluff. The Cowboys are a 7.5-point favorite over the Razorbacks, according to BetMGM Sportsbook.

Here are score predictions for the game, courtesy of various experts.

The Oklahoman: OSU 31, Arkansas 24​

Justin Martinez writes: "OSU running back Ollie Gordon II should have plenty of success on the ground against Arkansas, which ranked 10th in the SEC in rushing yards allowed per game last season (154.4). But the real difference maker will be Alan Bowman. After throwing for 13 touchdowns and 12 interceptions last season, the redshirt senior quarterback threw for three touchdowns and no interceptions in a Week 1 win over South Dakota State. Arkansas' offense, which is led by dual-threat quarterback Taylen Green, will test linebacker Nick Martin and OSU's defense. But if Bowman can continue to limit turnovers in the passing game, Arkansas won't be able to outscore OSU's well-balanced attack."

Heartland College Sports: OSU 34, Arkansas 27​

Matthew Postins writes: "It’s a fool’s errand to try and read too much into a win over an FCS team. Both Oklahoma State and Arkansas beat FCS opponents last week. At least the Cowboys challenged themselves a bit with the two-time defending national champions. UAPB won two games last year. The Cowboys have a .500 record at home against the Razorbacks all-time. They’ll be above .500 after this game."

College Football Network: OSU 34, Arkansas 27​

Colin Lynch writes: "Arkansas’ real question is on the defensive side of the football. The Razorbacks ranked 80th in team defense in 2023, allowing nearly 28 points per game and an average of 154 rushing yards per game. If that hasn’t improved, Gordon and the Cowboys’ offense will run roughshod over Arkansas. But I think people are sleeping on Arkansas a bit — primarily because of the horrid finish to 2023. They’re going to make the Cowboys’ defense work, and they’re going to force Oklahoma State to beat them with a properly balanced running and passing attack. Oklahoma State will still pull out the victory, but it’ll be a bit closer than some may think."
