OSU vs OU in hockey at Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater in January.
What Oklahoma State is building with its club hockey team is insane. All by Colleen Harvey, an alum, and her army of 50+ students.
If this is their club hockey team, watch out when they go D1!
NEW: Miami OC Shannon Dawson takes a shot at the SEC and says there shouldn’t be rankings until October:
"Everything's SEC, SEC. They have all their teams in the top 25. Good for you. At the end of the year, half of them will be in the top 30. We can’t sit here and say, ‘hey, we play X number of top-25 teams’. We’ll count those chips up at the end of the year."

Build the statue of Mike Gundy. Change it to Mike Gundy Field at Boone Pickens Stadium. Have him come out and “retire” and transfer into an “advisory” role…
.. but we need change. OSU is stagnant with him at the helm.
Your doctor can’t do 10 pushups.
But yet you keep trusting them to take care of your health.
Here are 20 mind-blowing things they don’t want you to know about the “sick-care” system:
This hit me hard...
We all have "that guy" somewhere in our head.
So much of our success is determined by our ability to manage his influence over our day-to-day actions.
The reality:
Everything meaningful that you want in life is on the other side of something that sucks.
That suck might be 100 hard workouts.
That suck might be 100 bland meals.
That suck might be 100 hours of focused work.
The best things in life require upfront pain.
Embrace the suck.
We're all waging a constant battle between short-term pleasure and long-term fulfillment.
It's much easier to let the "guy" in our head win.
But most of the time, the hard way is the right way.
Yes, it's hard to delay gratification. It's hard to train your body and mind. It's hard to focus. It's hard to have difficult conversations. It's hard to show up for the people you love.
But it's even harder to live with the knowledge that you hid from all of those things.
Today, and all days, outwit "that guy" in your head.
Choose your hard.
Oklahoma State made it to the Big 12 Championship despite
- a mass exodus in the transfer portal
- Stribling out for season
- a converted TE to WR + D3 transfer being 2 of our top 3 receivers
- early season loss to South Alabama
- 1st year defensive coordinator
Proud of the fight these guys showed. Squad full of undervalued competitors. Incredible year. GO POKES

Observations:
-Oregon and OkSt stand out and are clearly so high because of their mega-whale donors Phil Knight and T. Boone Pickens
-All SEC schools are within the top 40 (which actually represts a "top 50-ish" ranking when factoring in Private schools which would be in the top 45, like Notre Dame, USC, Stanford, Duke, Miami, Northwestern, TCU... and prossibly even Baylor, Vandy and BYU)
-Current Big Ten doesn't have a single school in the top 10 despite having blue bloods OSU/Mich
-All basketball blue bloods are within the top 40, led by Kansas at 19th
