Football season starts this weekend, and Oklahoma State students are ready for the Cowboys to take the field. At Oklahoma State and in Boone Pickens Stadium, we are all family and want to cheer each other on. Being in BPS, cheering on the boys is an incredible feeling that is like nothing else. I have been ready for football to start since last November, and I think everyone else feels the same. All you freshman and any other students that haven't been to game, you need to get ready and get your all sports pass, because there is nothing better than being in Boone Pickens on game day!
1. The Atmosphere
The atmosphere is Boone Pickens is insane. There are so many people there and it feels like we are all a family. We all stand, we all chant, and we all yell to cheer on the boys. I've had many people tell me that they don't even like football, but they go to every game to be apart of this crowd.
2. The Cowboys
Of course, we are all there to watch the boys. And they are going to be incredible this year! I'm ready to watch us dominate the Big 12. Get ready because hell's coming with them!
3. The Chants
One of the best parts of the game is participating in the fight song and all the other traditions we do throughout the game. These traditions are what make up the unique atmosphere of the games at Boone Pickens.
4. Sea of Orange
Lots of college stadiums try to stripe the stadium (even OSU came out with a plan), but I think what makes us different than other colleges is that we are proud of our orange and having a sea of orange is way more intimidating than white and orange stripes.
5. #HellOnEars
We are hell on ears. I don't know anyone that came out of a game last year that didn't have a hoarse voice. Everything that we do is loud and can be heard all over Stillwater.
6. Bullet!
We can finally see Bullet running out on the field again!
7. Tailgating
Although it is hard to tailgate for those 11AM games, there is nothing like cooking out and getting pumped for the game around the stadium with your Cowboy family.
8. Paddle People
One of the most feared groups in the Big 12 is the Oklahoma State Paddle People. This group takes away the hearing of the opposing team, and although there are rules in place when they can paddle, they make BPS intimidating to any opponent.
9. The Cowboy Marching Band
The Cowbooooooyyyyy Marching Band excel in their formations and always managing to shock us all! I can't wait to see what they have in store this year.
10. All We Will Do Is Win
The Oklahoma State Cowboys are bringing hell with them this year. Get ready to be singing DJ Khaled's "All I Do Is Win" on repeat.
