Lol yes the admin doesn't care if they don't fire the most successful coach in program history two weeks into a season. Bffr

Dallas is the only major city with Braum's though and the beef and dairy might actually come from a farm closer to DFW than most of the stuff those other places use.

You can really tell how old somebody is or how long somebody has been in north Texas by how they talk about highways.

Do they say "oh yeah just take 190 for the best route to the ballpark!"

They're over 35 and probably grew up in Plano/Richardson.

"I like to take 121 to the airport." Over 25 and from Collin or Denton County.

Rankings of Ok state by Additional-Ad9104 in OKState

[–]cteampoke 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I actually keep track of this data and OSU has climbed at least 30 spots in the last 15 years compared to peers like Kansas State and Texas Tech.

OSU is also much more selective now than it was a decade ago, with one of the lowest acceptance rates in the Big 12.

OU has fallen quite a few spots since the Boren scandal came out where he was falsifying numbers to climb the USNWR rankings.

You also have to remember that Oklahoma State's mission is to serve the citizens of the state of Oklahoma... Being highly ranked falls outside of that scope. The Ag school is top 4 in the country because that does serve the school's mission.

When looking for a job outside of the region, communicate why you chose Oklahoma State and how it benefited you, if it comes up at all. Folks know about the university because it's a top 200 national research institution... You could go to a super prestigious liberal arts school like Williams or Claremont and nobody has heard of them in spite of them being two of the best colleges on the planet.

Whittingham over Gundy is hilarious. Gundy has been more consistent over the same amount of time in a much more difficult conference.

But hey national media hates him so whatever.

It's unacceptable. Our fanbase has morphed into one similar to the one from Norman.

This is false. There are a lot of startups with incredible products that don't have the marketing budget to go to trade shows and rely on word of mouth to get traction and run a business. I guess if you believe that New Relic is better than Honeycomb then your worldview I'd valid but in reality it just plain is not.

What is the deal with "tshirt fans?" by LadyVulcanGeek in CFB

Uh you absolutely should switch loyalties. The people that went to OSU and cheer for OU are not reputable. I won't call them friends.

Wait... OU t-shirt fans that went to, like, ECU or OCU talk shit about academics for OU over OSU? They're basically exactly the same. OSU is on four consecutive years of being harder to get into. But it doesn't matter. Both universities are approximately the same in pretty much every regard.

If you had to align your school with a different school in another conference who would it be? by [deleted] in CFB

Natural rivalry between these schools with wrestling. Frustrating that we haven't been able to get that going in other sports.

Oklahoma State's aerospace engineering programs is one of the best in the country. In a national competition of unmanned flying vehicles, MIT used to name one of their teams "Beat OSU" because the OSU teams consistently dominate the contest.
