Oh, college football. No football team (or anybody else at the university) likes to lose, but that fear of losing is multiplied when it is somebody you have a rivalry with. In 1917, the word "Bedlam" was first used to describe the rivalry between Oklahoma State University and University of Oklahoma. The word was then put on the back burner until 1943 when it was revitalized in another newspaper.
Bedlam 2015 put the Sooners ahead 85-18-7. In 2012, the first Bedlam game that resulted in overtime occurred, with OU beating OSU 51-48. This rivalry has been a prominent one for many years, and students/fans from both schools have strongly supported their school through it all.
As a student of Oklahoma State University and a long-time Cowboy football fan, I hate to see OSU lose. Here are 11 things that I would rather do than lose to OU.
1. Re-live 7th grade
2. Fall down the front stairs of Morrill in front of 1,000 people
3. Swim in Theta pond
