"The safest option is to gather in-person only with members of your household and to celebrate virtually with other family and friends," Los Angeles County said in its winter holiday guidance. The county is also telling people to avoid singing indoors, "wear a mask when gathering indoors" and to set tables grouping only people from the same household.

All the blue bloods are already raiding the Portal. Are we doing anything? We need QB, LB, OL, CBs. Hope Gundy & Co aren't sleeping. We need some bodies.

Will be needed to beat Notre Dame? What say you Pokes?

Both Webber and Benson were first team, as was the D-lineman we have offered from Snow.

Ewe de juan baby:

I have a parking pass that we purchased but no longer need. It's west parking at the game. I purchased directly through Fiesta Bowl and can transfer it to you with your email or phone number. It was $60 but just want it to get used and maybe get some of it back....hoping for $40?

Joe Manchin makes it official, he's a NO on BBB.

Which surely infuriates most of us. But once the anger subsides it seems she may have a point.

Any fans? I thought season 3 wasn’t as good as 2, but still one of the best shows on TV.

Two groups need called out and identified-
Can people identify them?

who is "they" group 1:

-Watched tv from KNOWN corrupt Entities and believed every word and never questioned the corrupt entities while they gave up huge parts of their lives leaving their jobs or staying home from them, then putting cloth face coverings on their faces when there was ZERO studies that they stop this so called dangerous virus, and then "THEY" (group 1) took experimental shots(without questioning corrupt entities) that alter their cells into perpetual spike producing cells via injecting mRNA.

Group 2 can one identify this group who:

-Took the common cold coronavirus and in the lab added spike proteins to it and then several years ago gave a Chinese lab Money to finish up the research and release it onto the world, -they then over hypeD the death count predictions of this virus.
-Who then started testing healthy people (never before happened in our history)
-They tested with the test that could not differentiate the flu, the common cold, and a virus they named Covid.
-Who have the same said test could be altered back-and-forth of
Strength cycles (depending on the number of people they wanted to be labeled as positive or negative.)
-A test that to this day is known to be up to 90% false positives.
-a test that is no longer said to be ok but they still use
- they took patients with cold like and flu like symptoms and injected them with $3000 a dose experimental drug once the patients shown some oxygen depletion.
-They gave this experimental drug that cost $3000 a dose and made Gilead pharmaceutical with kickbacks to Fauci beucoup rich.
-They by giving this drug to patients with cold like and flu like symptoms exacerbated these patients (with only call Lock or flu like symptoms) onto ventilators, which means patients suffocated and died a slow horrible death.
-They made these poor patients die alone while forbidding all of the relatives to not get see them, so drowning and suffocating alone for days and weeks.

Who is they can you identify either or both groups?
Both are responsible for what has happened, what is happening and what is about to happen.

Who is they?

How Oklahoma State's OSU Max streaming service was formed from ESPN's 'Our Time' series​

Jacob Unruh
Oklahoman

STILLWATER — Throughout the months of the 2020 college football season, Bo Mattingly got quite a feel for the Oklahoma State program.

As the driving force behind the scenes for the ESPN+ documentary series “Our Time,” he had access that was second to none. .

But there was always a desire for more.

Extra access. Fresh stories. Additional options to deliver fans.

Not just in football, but every Cowboys sport.

“I think humanizing people is one of the great things that we get to do,” said Mattingly, the president and executive producer of Sport & Story Media.

Mattingly’s next project with OSU debuts Wednesday. OSU Max — a subscription-based streaming network — is a spinoff of the documentary series but in a bigger way. It debuts with more than 140 videos across all sports already produced, offering Cowboys fans another avenue to follow their teams.

It’s the next wave in streaming platforms, this one offering an extra look into a fan’s favorite university and athletes. And in a time of Name, Image and Likeness, it’s another option for athletes to benefit.

OSU Max will cost fans $8.99 per month. If fans pay for an entire year, they will receive a month free.

“We believe this is going to be at the majority of major athletic departments in college sports over the next three or four years,” Mattingly said. “We’ve built a business to partner with schools all over the country. When you do that, you start talking to people you trust, know, respect, where you have relationships.


“For us, one of those places was Oklahoma State. We’ve talked to many schools — and we will be partnering with more schools in 2022 — but to Oklahoma State’s credit, (athletic director) Chad Weiberg was onboard from the moment we brought it up.”

OSU is just the second university to team with Sport & Story Media for the project, following Arkansas’ Hogs+. Mattingly said when that platform launched earlier this year, Sport & Story Media gained 50% of the one-year subscription goal in just 45 days.

With OSU, hopes are high ahead of launches elsewhere.

Mattingly said Sport & Story Media has teamed with Christopher Hunt of Oklahoma City-based film production studio 1577 Productions for the initial launch. Longtime ESPN producer Victor Vitarelli has been named chief of content.

And a yet-to-be-named managing producer will be assigned to work with the OSU creative team.

“It’s a combination of hiring great talent to work on the site at the school and then bringing in talented filmmakers for special projects as well,” Mattingly said.

They’ll work to deliver more, as Mattingly hoped.

“Fans will literally go inside the huddles and locker rooms of their favorite Cowboy and Cowgirl teams,” Weiberg said in a release. “This partnership with Sport & Story will allow our fans to connect with our teams like never before and will give Oklahoma State student-athletes an engaging platform in this new NIL era. We couldn’t be more excited for this launch.”

Mattingly views OSU Max as a three-way partnership between Sport & Story, OSU and the fans.

But unlike the football series, this will be more.

“It’s like a gift to the fans, even though you have to pay a little bit,” Mattingly said. “It’s nice to have options.

“When you go to this platform, it’s really well organized, it’s all about Oklahoma State and it’s easy to find what you’re looking for. To me and to us as a group, that was as important as it was to do really premium content.”

'It’s been a real growth period': American life has been good for Tom Hutton, OSU's Australian punter​

Scott Wright
Oklahoman
STILLWATER — Tom Hutton’s first day of Oklahoma State football practice back in 2019 came with a shock.

“People blow the whistle and everyone runs different directions,” Hutton said. “I had no idea what I was doing, so I had to pick someone and follow them around.

“I didn’t know that much about college football, apart from actually playing the sport. I didn’t know we flew to games. I thought we’d just drive to games. Things like that I just didn’t know about.”

Now in his junior year as Oklahoma State’s punter, the 31-year-old Hutton understands a lot more about the sport and the world around it — not to mention the fact that he’s become an invaluable weapon for the ninth-ranked Cowboys, who face No. 5 Notre Dame at noon on Jan. 1 in the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona.

Hutton came to Stillwater in January of 2019, then a 28-year-old Australian who had to Google Oklahoma State just to learn anything about the campus, the program and the community he was soon to be a part of.

Originally from the town of Newborough in Victoria, Australia — in the Latrobe Valley on the southwestern tip of Australia, less than two hours away from Melbourne — Hutton grew up playing Australian rules football.

He got connected with an organization called ProKick Australia, which has become well-known for its ability to find Aussie-rules players and develop their skills to become punters in American football. ProKick serves as the bridge between American colleges and the kickers in their programs, ultimately connecting Hutton with the Cowboys.

Hutton came to Oklahoma State not expecting a future NFL career, but hoping for a unique life experience.

“It’s been everything that I expected and more,” Hutton said. “People get caught up in seeing college football as a stepping stone to the NFL, but for me, that wasn’t what I was looking at at all. It’s an experience in itself, and although you don’t make the big money and all that stuff, it’s the life experiences that I’ll take away from it. That’s what I’m still here for.”

Hutton was engaged to his now-wife, Kelsey, when he received his scholarship offer in 2018.

“We had plans to get married, but we fast-tracked that,” Hutton said. “She planned our wedding in, like, eight weeks. Then we flew over here a few months later. For her to give up everything, obviously she’s had a life-changing experience here, too. There’s been positives and negatives, but she’s come out of it a stronger and better person.

“That’s massive for her to give up everything and come over here for me to chase a dream.”



Life in America has come with difficulties, particularly in the last two years, because of COVID-19 limiting the Huttons’ ability to go back to Australia and visit family.

“I haven’t been able to go back in two years,” Hutton said. “My wife’s been here, hasn’t been able to go back in three years. It’s been a real growth period for me, personally.

“In my first year, I just knew that if I got homesick or something, I was 24 hours away on a flight to go home and I could see my family and all that. It’s become a time when you’re completely locked out. It’s like you’re on another planet. Regardless of what you do, if you can get permits to get back home, you’re still three weeks away from seeing anyone.”

On the field, Hutton has become a weapon for OSU because of his target-punting ability. He can locate punts in a specific location to limit return yardage, and his punting distance has improved each year, up to 42.2 yards per punt this season.

He has only six touchbacks in 66 punts and OSU ranks second nationally in punt return defense, having allowed seven yards on 16 return attempts, an average of 0.4 yards per return.

The biggest change for Hutton on the field has come with his understanding of American football.

“It took him, really, a year to figure out American football,” OSU coach Mike Gundy said. “His actual kicking fundamentals, he could do that from day one. Then knowing where to kick it on the field, and why to kick it over here, and some of the things we do — he didn’t have any idea why we were doing this.

“Anything we do in life, if we don’t know why we’re doing it or what our destination is, it’s hard to get really good at it. Once he started to get a feel for American football after about a year, he really improved in understanding how to improve his game as a target punter.”

Hutton will spend Christmas with his wife and two dogs in Stillwater, but after the bowl game, they’ll be able to make their first trip back home since COVID arrived.

“I’ll get home for two weeks,” he said. “That’ll be good. Recharge the batteries.”

Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy’s new contract includes higher buyout​

Scott WrightJacob Unruh
Oklahoman

STILLWATER — When Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy agreed to a new five-year perpetual contract in October, he not only got a raise, but saw an increase in the buyout total that Oklahoma State would owe him for terminating the contract without cause.

Because the new agreement became effective July 1, Gundy is getting retroactive pay that will increase his total compensation for a contract year ending Dec. 31 to $4.875 million, not including a $171,875 reduction he agreed to take due to athletics department financial issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Gundy originally had been scheduled to make $4.375 million from the school for 2021.

Gundy also will be getting a $125,000 bonus for reaching a New Year’s Six bowl game. OSU faces Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 1, according to the contract obtained from an open-records request by The Oklahoman and USA Today.

Gundy’s salary will increase by $125,000 each year that he remains under contract beginning on Jan. 1, 2022, and continue until the termination of the contract, which is a perpetual, rolling five-year agreement — meaning a year is added to the contract at the completion of each year.

Gundy originally signed a perpetual five-year contract in 2017. In the summer of 2020, Gundy agreed to have his contract reduced by one year, to a four-year, perpetual contract, and he had his salary reduced by $1 million to $4.2 million per year.

Under his previous contract, OSU’s buyout for termination without cause on Dec. 1, 2021, was roughly $7.1 million. With the length and financial terms of the new contract, as of Jan. 1, 2022, the buyout will increase from 50% of the total remaining compensation to 62.5%, meaning the buyout as of Dec. 1, 2022, would be roughly $14.7 million. It stands to increase to 75% of the total remaining compensation on Jan. 1, 2023.

Gundy settling in as defensive coach​

Last week, OSU safety Jason Taylor II noticed a new coach watching and working with the defense.

Head coach Mike Gundy.

“First, it was a little strange,” Taylor said.

These days, with the departure of defensive coordinator Jim Knowles to Ohio State, Gundy is focusing more on the defensive side of the ball as the ninth-ranked Cowboys prepare for their matchup with No. 5 Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl at noon on Jan. 1 in Glendale, Arizona.
“I haven’t watched the offense at all — live,” Gundy said about the bowl prep.

Gundy is an offensive-minded coach by tradition. A former Cowboys quarterback and offensive coordinator, it was rare for him to worry about the defense.

And to a point, that remains the case. The defensive staff determined responsibilities after Knowles left. Gundy will not name a play-caller for the Fiesta Bowl until the team arrives in Arizona.

Gundy has COVID concerns​

Gundy looked toward the practice field inside Sherman E. Smith Training Center and noticed the lack of distancing.

Each Cowboys football player was crowding for Fiesta Bowl photo day Monday afternoon.

“We’re all trying to do the best we can to stay away from each other,” Gundy said, “as you can tell.”

COVID-19 and the omicron variant have wreaked havoc on the sports world the past few weeks, causing massive issues in the NBA, NFL and NHL along with college basketball.

And as the ninth-ranked Cowboys prepare to face No. 5 Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl on New Year’s Day, their own concern that the virus will hit their program is heightened.

“I mentioned it to ‘em,” Gundy said. “I don’t get around my own kids, because that’s where I got it last time. Kids, they don’t pay attention to these kind of things.

“I’m concerned with what’s happening right now, to be honest with you. Very selfishly, we hit a home run with getting through football, because we all know that that needs to happen to keep people afloat financially.

“But I’m a little concerned with what’s going on right now with these numbers that you’re hearing about.”

The Oklahoma State Department of Health reported 3,330 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the state over the weekend.

Gundy said he and his staff have been emphasizing safety to the players, especially with Christmas fast approaching. But he also isn’t going to prevent someone from seeing their family when he is able to go home and see his every night.

“We’re talking to them about it with our staff,” Gundy said. “There’s a certain percentage that have already had a shot and already had a booster. We just do the best we can.”

Dezmon Jackson enters transfer portal​

Oklahoma State running back Dezmon Jackson has entered the transfer portal, as first reported by On3.com.

Jackson, who came to OSU in 2019 as a junior-college transfer, has one year of eligibility remaining as a super-senior. He redshirted in 2019 and became a regularly used backup the past two seasons, rushing for 686 yards and six touchdowns in all.

Jackson’s departure could leave the Cowboys looking for a running back on the transfer portal, like they found with Jaylen Warren a year ago.

Warren is expected to leave after the bowl game, and with Jackson’s departure, the Cowboys are left with Dominic Richardson, Jaden Nixon and Zach Middleton as the only scholarship running backs on the roster. Super-senior LD Brown is potentially eligible for a seventh year, though no official determination has been announced on his future.


OSU signed two running backs in the 2022 recruiting class, with 6-foot-3, 210-pound Ollie Gordon of Trinity High School in Euless, Texas, and 6-foot, 180-pound CJ Brown from Beggs.

Jackson is the third OSU player to enter the transfer portal this month, along with offensive lineman Hunter Anthony and defensive tackle Jayden Jernigan.

I’m moving back to the Tulsa area in January and need a good home theater expert. The house has a huge upstairs room that I want to convert to a man cave/home theater room. Anyone have recommendations on good companies that can advise on setup, equipment, installation, etc.?

Good thing these bought into the propaganda- or were forced and coerced

For all you followers of Fauchi and this Epstein island frequenter sociopath

Hey maybe you drones believe THIS bs from him? Hail Gates eh?

For any scheme nerds, they do just about every current trending thing you can do on both sides of the ball. They are at a huge talent deficit in this game and maximize everything they have. Good game on espn right now.

Has anyone heard how the young guys that didn’t get much playing time this year are looking? Saw an article about how many reps they were getting but no specifics on who might be shining.

I think McKinney is a perfect corner prospect to fit what we want to do on defense: good size, physical, ball hawk, good tackler. He has a nose for the end zone when he gets a pick. I’m excited to see what he can develop into as a Cowboy.
