to be a part of the Student Farm, which combines a learning opportunity for OSU students, as well as giving the food grown back to the local communities.”

The OSU Student Farm provides students with hands-on learning experiences while also sustainably supplying the local community with fresh produce in partnership with Our Daily Bread Food and Resource Center in Stillwater.

Each tractor will be used through-

out the year for roughly 150 hours before being traded in for a new one.

The machinery will be especially useful to the farm as it plans to significantly expand its acreage in the near future. The expansion will feature a new organic plot behind the barn as well as a full acre dedicated to growing strawberries.

Ranking every Power school men’s basketball coaching opening Gabriel Trevino Staff Reporter Oklahoma State is one of six Power Five schools with a men’s basketball head coaching vacancy.

With the college basketball season nearing an end, more will open and more will fill. For now, here is a ranking of how attractive each current opening is for prospective candidates.

This list will be updated.

1. Michigan Juwan Howard took over the program a year removed from the Wolverines’ national championship game appearance, replacing John Beilein.

But his past two years have not lived up to their expectations, and he was fired Friday.

Beside the Jordan Brand notoriety of the school, the men’s basketball team is dying to return to its recent dominance. The Wolverines have played in two national championship games since 2013 and reached the second weekend five other times.

Support will be there for whoever takes the clipboard next, and if that person can rebuild Michigan, it could be the standard for an athletic program.

2. Louisville The Cardinals are another 2010s power trending toward irrelevance in the 2020s. Since Rick Pittino and Louisville won it all in 2013, it has only been in the NCAA Tournament four times, with zero appearances since 2019.

Seven coaches have tried and failed to succeed Pittino and rebuild the program following his escort, bribery and recruiting scandal that stripped it of its national title in 2017.

Louisville, a program with two legitimate championships, will be looking for a — nay, THE — home run hire of the carousel, hoping whoever takes over next can bring the Cardinals back to winning trophies.

3. Oklahoma State There is no better challenge for an up-and-coming coach than a chance to compete in the best conference in the country that will get better with four teams joining next season.

It doesn’t have the mainstream appeal as others, and living in Stillwater and working for a smaller department will turn off some, but Oklahoma State is showing it will do whatever to get its next Henry Iba or Eddie Sutton.

The Cowboys have really only found success with those two coaches in the late 1940s, early 50s, 90s and early 2000s. Oklahoma State can be a program on the rise, and the right coach can claim he truly rebuilt the program while doing so consistently against the best teams in the country.

It won’t be easy the first

of the season, after only hitting one in his three previous seasons. Aiden Meola seemed to be reaching his potential.

After missing four games due to injury, Meola went 2-4 with a home run, helping him collect 5 RBIs, but he was replaced by Avery Ortiz in the 7th inning.

Ortiz kept up the hot bat at that position, lacing two singles up the middle.

Brueggeman also had 2 doubles and a home run, totaling 4 RBIs on the day.

The offense feels ready to burst at any moment. It’s shown that it can score as many runs as needed; the unit has scoroed 10+ runs on five occasions this season. It has also been held to two or fewer runs six times.

Relief pitching needs stability Starting pitcher, Janzen Keisel, didn’t give his successor Tommy Molsky much wiggle room when he was pulled.

Molsky was thrown into hot water, coming in with runners on second and third with no outs in the second inning.

The Cowboys made it out of the inning, but not before four runs scored.

Eight pitchers took the mound for the Pokes, and Robert Cranz and Carson Benge were the only two who didn’t allow a hit. Pitching coach Rob Walton and this pitching staff will need to find answers as they continue into Big 12 conference play. sports.ed@ocolly.com

OSU holds off UCF, sweeps series Parker Gerl Staff Reporter In bringing the brooms out for a series-sweeping win against UCF Sunday, Oklahoma State increased its win streak to five and improved to 9-0 at home.

The Cowgirls (24-3, 5-1 Big 12) defeated the Knights, 6-4, and held off UCF’s lategame comeback attempt.

Here are three takeaways from the game: Early offense from Godwin OSU coach Kenny Gajewski used to ask freshman Karli Godwin often, “Are you alright?”

Godwin always has what Gajewski called a “mean look” on her face. That’s partly why he always checked in on her before figuring out that’s just her at-work look.

“I’m serious, and when it’s go time, it’s go time,” Godwin said jokingly. “It’s not that I’m mad or (ticked) off or whatever.

I feel like if I stay (steady) then my emotions stay steady.”

With that same look at the plate, Godwin helped her squad get past Sarah Willis early, the UCF pitcher who gave the Cowgirls problems in the series opener.

Godwin, who’s top-two on the team in a number of hitting statistics, crushed a two-run home run in the bottom of the first inning. It gave OSU the same number of runs it scored on Willis through six innings in game one.

“When a pitch came, I knew I could hammer; I did it,” Godwin said.

OSU responded... again OSU had comfortable leads that turned into tight ball games twice in the series. That happened again Sunday.

The Cowgirls led 5-1 until Sona Halajian hit a three-run homer, tying the game at 5-4.

Again, OSU had insurance on both sides to hold strong, starting with Micaela Wark.

In the bottom of the sixth inning, directly after Halajian’s

bomb, Wark doubled down the left field line to score Rosie Davis and make it 6-4 OSU. Pitcher Lexi Kilfoyl gave up two hits to UCF in the seventh but still got the last three outs to end the game.

“To be able to answer back is a huge deal,” Gajewski said. “And I think it’s a sign that we’re pretty dang good, to be honest.” sports.ed@ocolly.com

Continued from 1 “In sincere appreciation of providing two John Deere tractors to the OSU Student Farm, we extend our heartfelt thanks to P&K Equipment and Dr. Pollard for this invaluable contribution,” said Justin Quetone Moss, professor and head of the department of horticulture and landscape architecture.

“This will help us to expand the vegetable production acreage and meet our goal of providing more than 100,000 pounds of food to Oklahomans through our current partnership with Our Daily Bread and new partnership with the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma.”

In addition to expanding acreage, site improvements and cleanup are ongoing. For the next phase of facility improvements, OSU is seeking private support to cover the $250,000 architectural costs to advance the farm’s renovation, including the historic Swine Barn.

The Student Farm will serve as an anchor of the OSU Innovation Park, a unique 678acre ecosystem that will include the Agronomy Research Station and The Botanic Garden at OSU. The Innovation Park will be at the heart of a visionary mission to fuse technology development, commercial partnerships and progressive ideas through STEAM education and scientific discovery, driving economic growth and strengthening community connections in Stillwater and beyond.

“The Innovation Park will be a huge boost in the pursuit of our land-grant mission, and the Student Farm is a crucial piece of that,” OSU First Cowboy Darren Shrum said. “Through the generosity of the Cowboy family, like that demonstrated by P&K Equipment, we will make the farm better than ever before and continue to broaden its impact on the Stillwater community.”

Continued from 1 Elizabeth Scrudder, a sophomore, had every spot on her card called, even though she just wanted the outer ring. She said she felt like a grandma because she was focusing on two tasks at once while she marked off the called numbers.

“I don’t know how it happened,” Scrudder said.

“I’ve been crocheting while I do everything. . . I’m making a sweater; I’m literally sitting here crocheting at bingo.”

Although people enjoyed the games, the event also hosted a free snack table with mini cheesecakes, cheese and fruit, barbecue sausages and lemonade that could be mixed with Red Bull to make mocktails.

The night didn’t encourage gambling, and while people enjoyed their risk-free games, multiple projects played slides displaying Oklahoma and national gambling statists and resources.

These included many statistical facts, such as how much tribal gaming revenue made in Oklahoma during 2023.

One of the facts shared, “29.8% of Oklahomans are in need of some form of harm prevention, intervention or treatment” for their gambling habits, according to the Oklahoma Association of Problem Gambling & Gaming.

This night was organized for the fun aspects of casino games, and this is not the first time SUAB has hosted a casino night in the past few years.

This marks the fourth time SUAB has laid out the tables and invited students in to play said Jordan Erne, the Leisure and Entertainment Director for SUAB. “Last time, we had about 200 attendees,” Erne said. “I think as long as it’s a good turnout, there’s good feedback and people love it, we’ll listen to what people have to say and hopefully we do it again.”

are the second largest source of methane emissions generated by human activities, following only agriculture. Most policy makers and scientists say cutting accidental leaks and intentional releases from oil, coal and gas is the fastest, cheapest way to drive down temperatures in the short term.

More than 150 nations have joined the Global Methane Pledge and vowed to cut releases of the greenhouse gas 30% by the end of this decade from 2020 levels. At COP28 in Dubai last year, 50 oil and gas companies pledged to stem releases of methane, including Exxon Mobil Corp. and Saudi Arabia’s Aramco.

The breakthrough is the latest in a series from a group of young scientists affiliated with Harvard University, the Polytechnic University of Valencia in Spain and the United Nations’ International Methane Emissions Observatory that have rapidly expanded researchers’ ability to spot leaks using a wide range of satellites not originally designed to track methane.

The innovative technique “shows the accelerating pace at which detection and quantification of methane releases is happening and most importantly, highlights the potential to use existing technology/satellites already deployed to improve detection and quantification and tackle the temporal variability of methane emissions,” said Maria-Olivia Torcea, an analyst with BloombergNEF. Although low-Earth orbiting satellites can cover most of the planet, the frequency with which they pass over a given location can be 24 hours or

longer. Because they orbit at much lower altitudes, their sensors typically offer higher resolution and can identify much smaller leaks than the GOES system.

The gap in frequency of observations, though, mean scientists can typically only estimate emissions rates from the instruments.

There are limitations to the GOES system, too, which offers coverage of the Americas and part of West Africa. The Harvard scientists are also working with researchers at space agencies in Europe and Japan to see if the technique can be applied to the Meteosat Third Generation and Himawari 8 satellite missions.

Marc Watine Guiu was a visiting master student at Harvard when he made the first methane observation using GOES last year and worked with Varon and IMEO scientist Itziar Irakulis Loitxate on a paper that was published in December describing the approach.

The scientists quantified a methane leak they said came from the El Encino-La Laguna pipeline that transports fossil gas in Mexico.

Crucially, the breakthrough could bolster regulators’ efforts to hold fossil fuel emitters accountable for some of the world’s most damaging and avoidable emissions, which historically have been self-reported by operators.

“One unique capability we have from geostationary orbit is to quantify the total duration and methane mass of very large releases,’’ said Harvard’s Varon. “It would be possible to audit industry reports of very large methane releases with this technology.” sports.ed@ocolly.com
