Ask what you can do for Israel.

OSU dismisses wrestler Jordan Williams after reported arrest

New Oklahoma State wrestling coach David Taylor has dismissed sophomore Jordan Williams from the team after Williams’ reported arrest.
'Jordan Williams is no longer part of the Cowboy Wrestling program due to a rules violation,' Taylor said in a statement Thursday morning. 'We wish him well as he moves forward.'
Williams was arrested early Wednesday for public intoxication and malicious injury to property, according to the initial report by Pistols Firing.
This was the first significant disciplinary action for Taylor, who took over for legendary coach John Smith in May.
A Tulsa native who attended Owasso High School, Williams was the Big 12 runner-up at 149 pounds and reached the round of 16 at the NCAA Championships as a redshirt freshman last season.

I've spent my whole life in Oklahoma... My family all graduated from OSU. Both me and my brother were heavily involved in Greek life at Oklahoma State. I love this darn place and I definitely have an unhealthy relationship with OSU football! ha I've been really conflicted over the last few years with the NIL/Portal changes... I guess you could throw conference realignment in there, too. College football has changed and after seeing what happened with the portal last year, we absolutely have to respond differently this next offseason... both with our current players and aggressively trying to upgrade our roster. My grandpa was in the Air Force and taught me an important lesson with voting early on... if you don't vote, you don't have a right to gripe in his opinion. Welp... I've done A LOT of griping the last year about different OSU football things and realized I'm not doing my part to change how we respond to NIL/portal happenings moving forward. I figured Bedlam finale week of all weeks was a good time to take the plunge....

I started my monthly gift to PWAP today... it's not a lot, but I want to be a part of it. You can really tell PWAP is ramping up with its branding and visibility at the OSU games. It feels like we are in a MUCH better position than we were a year ago... on and off the field. Thank you @amaras

BEAT OU

Ask what your country can do for Israel.

I know osu has had some down years but this might be one of the worst football teams of all time.

What this team has:

1. Fat fans resulting in wider seats in bps
2. A coach who could get away with anything and is completely complacent
3. A qb who has 15 years experience but still sucks

What this team doesn’t have:

1. Applebees
2. Dru Brown
3. A decent offensive philosophy

My advice to everyone is to quit watching football altogether.

God bless

How dare they think they can live in the West Bank. It’s almost like they think it’s their land. You’d think they’ve never heard of the Zionist project called Greater Israel.

Berry Tramel: South Dakota State Jackrabbits have Mike Gundy scared to death in season opener​

• Aug 28, 2024 Updated 1 hr ago

South Dakota State football coach Jimmy Rogers says his Jackrabbits long ago shed the concept of moral victories.

Wonder if the Jackrabbits would reconsider? Mike Gundy sounds like he’d make a deal right now.

OSU hosts South Dakota State on Saturday, and the Cowboys are mere 9½-point favorites over the Division I-AA Jackrabbits. If things go well for Gundy’s squad Saturday, it might be a bigger favorite next week over Arkansas of the mighty Southeastern Conference.

South Dakota State is not your typical Football Championship Subdivision (I-AA) team. The Jacks have won back-to-back I-AA national championships and have supplanted arch-rival North Dakota State as the standard-bearer of small-college football.

“We’ve given up moral victories here for a long time,” said Jackrabbits coach Jimmy Rogers. “We’re going there for a reason. We’re going to compete. If we’re going to claim we’re one of the best in the country, here’s an opportunity to showcase that. The players wouldn’t expect me to say it any different.”

Gundy seems sufficiently scared. Not scared as in quaking in his boots. But scared as in who-the-hell-scheduled-this-game-on-me? Scared as in these-guys-are-good.

Gundy even sacrificed his fan base in the name of an advantage, scheduling this game at 1 p.m., hoping the August heat might wilt the Jackrabbits, who have been practicing in mild temperatures in Brookings, South Dakota.

“This team can play competitively in the Power Four conferences,” Gundy said. “They’re very competitive in the manner and way they’ve won games. They know what they’re doing.”

That sort of mirrors Gundy’s analysis of Brigham Young joining the Big 12. He called the Cougars a power-conference program that just happened to not be in a power conference.

When South Dakota State has ventured into the big-boy weeds, the Jackrabbits have acquitted themselves quite well, notably a 7-3 loss at Iowa in 2022. Those Hawkeyes finished 8-5 and beat Kentucky 21-0 in the Music City Bowl.

“Every win on the national stage is huge for the university, because it’s national branding,” Rogers said. “If we can win this game, you’re beating one of the elite programs in college football. I think it’s huge.

“Are we worried about whether this is going to stand in history? We’re worried about winning the game, because that’s what we’re attempting to do.”

Over the years, OSU football has been pushed by lower-division opponents.

Missouri State took the Cowboys to overtime in 1995. In Gundy’s first game as OSU’s head coach, Montana State took the Cowboys to the wire before losing 15-10 in 2004. The 2021 OSU team that beat Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl and finished seventh in The Associated Press poll opened the season with a 23-16 squeaker over Missouri State. Central Arkansas played the Cowboys to a 27-13 game just last September.

But those frights occurred AFTER the game began. Gundy’s fear over South Dakota State has been building since he realized who his school had scheduled. And that anxiety exploded last January 7, when the Jackrabbits routed Montana 23-3 in the national championship game to complete a 15-0 season and extend their winning streak to 29.


North Dakota State had won nine of the previous I-AA national titles, but the Bison have been supplanted by the Jackrabbits as king of the Dakotas and thus the entire division.

“Credit to North Dakota State,” Rogers said. “They’ve lit a fire with the success that they’ve had. We’ve been able to somewhat replicate some of what they’ve been able to do. We’ve got a long ways to go before we start putting ourselves in that realm.

“But as of the last couple of years, we’ve been extremely competitive, and we don’t see that slowing down anytime soon.”

John Stiegelmeier built the South Dakota State program. He returned to his alma mater in 1988 and spent nine seasons as an assistant coach before taking over the program. His Jackrabbits didn’t make the I-AA playoffs his first 12 seasons as head coach.

But Stiegelmeier was planting deep roots. The Jackrabbits became playoff regulars, going 12 times in Stiegelmeier’s final 14 seasons, with at least one postseason victory in nine of those playoffs.

In 2022, South Dakota State won the national title with a 45-21 victory over North Dakota State, and Stiegelmeier retired, handing over the reins to Rogers, a fellow Jackrabbit graduate and his longtime defensive coordinator.

Rogers sounds a lot like Gundy when talking about pride in the program’s culture.

Rogers says that of South Dakota State’s 85 scholarship players (not all of them full rides), 77 had no other Division I offers.


“We find the right fit,” Rogers said. “We find the right people we want to coach. We’re not always in the transfer portal.


South Dakota State Jimmy Rogers says multiple Jackrabbits have been approached, against the tampering rules, by higher-level schools but have turned down “six-figure” offers to transfer.

“There’s players everywhere. You gotta find ‘em. Gotta find the right ones that love football. Gotta show ‘em you care about ‘em.”

Rogers says multiple Jackrabbits have been approached, against the tampering rules, by higher-level schools but have turned down “six-figure” offers to transfer. That includes star quarterback Matt Gronowski, who won the 2023 Walter Payton Award, Division I-AA’s Heisman, and is back to lead the Jacks.

“We’ve been blessed here,” Rogers said. “But ultimately, players have lived out every word of what we said their experience would be.”

And now that experience brings the Jackrabbits to Stillwater, where Mike Gundy is scared to death and is quite willing to let South Dakota State return home with a moral victory.

I'm planning to unpin some threads from the top of the board, and let them slowly slide into oblivion. My inclination is to keep only the 2025 recruiting thread and the Scholarship thread. Let me know if any of you feel differently.
