OSU looking forward to the daunting three game slate Chris Becker Oklahoma State football is 4-0 on the season and everything is looking up for the team, but the toughest games are still ahead for the Cowboys. In the next three games, the Cowboys face Texas, No. 16 Kansas State and in-state rival Oklahoma, which are set to be some of the toughest tests for the Cowboys’ playoff hopes. This slate of three games comes on the heels of battling Iowa State, before taking on the grueling road ahead of them. Coming off the game, quarterback Spencer Sanders said the biggest takeaway is the team continues to execute the game plan. “I wouldn’t say more of learned, I would say knowing what we could do and doing it,” Sanders said. “It’s more of doing it better. It’s like I said, it’s just getting better every week and just executing better. It’s perfecting your craft and things we do and all in all those little

things build up to one big thing that changes the whole outcome of maybe that drive, possession or play. “I feel like we’re executing great, but we need to keep moving on and keep piling on. We could be amazing.” Wide receiver Dillon Stoner said he believed the Cowboys came up on the wrong end of a couple of calls, but were able to get past that and continue to play their game. “There’s always going to be some kind of chaos or commotion that we’re going to learn from and, obviously we had that against Iowa State, certain things and certain calls didn’t go our way, but it doesn’t matter,” Stoner said. “At the end of the day, it matters how we respond to that and I think we responded really well. We’ll continue to grow as a team and as an offense. “This is going to be a tough stretch, but we’re ready for it, and I’m excited to play these next few games.” The season will be mostly decided with this important three game stretch, but the team will continue to take it one game at a time, despite knowing exactly what is waiting after each hurdle in the road. “It’s obviously just taking it one game at a time right now, but there’s no question that the next three games will be

really tough and (are) going to define the rest of the season,” Stoner said. “We’re just going to worry about Texas right now and get ready for them to play them to the best of our ability. In the back of our mind, we know who’s waiting after this.”

COVID-FREE CONCERTS

The McKnight Center adapts to COVID restrictions By: Willistean Bennett Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the McKnight Center has implemented changes for how it will hold performances. The Performing Arts Center requires several rules and regulations to keep the community safe. These include face coverings, staff health screenings, social distancing and sanitation. According to the McKnight Center website, “Face masks that cover the mouth and nose are required for all guests over the age of four (4) and staff while present in The McKnight Center, in accordance with Oklahoma State University campus regulations and the City of Stillwater mask ordinance. Anyone not wearing a mask will be asked to leave and tickets will not be refunded.” The McKnight Center will not provide masks for its guests; however, there are a limited number of McKnight masks for sale at the Box Office. If the Center has to conduct contract tracing, staff require electronic tickets for every event to keep a record of each guest. According to the McKnight Center website, “Each Box Office

window will have a Plexiglas shield on the countertop in front of Box Office windows to allow for safer communication with customers. A Plexiglas divider will be stationed between the two windows to allow for a safety barrier between customers while they are conducting business. For those waiting in line, floor markers will be placed at 6’ intervals to assist with social distancing.” The Center implemented Social distancing precautions in the performance halls. Seating pods are limited to one or two seats unless families and groups who have been sheltering together request larger seating pods. The McKnight Center has also emphasized its cleaning and sanitation. According to the McKnight Center website, “Before, during, and after every event, our custodians will sanitize key touch points in public areas (door handles, lobby seating, stair rails, elevator buttons, countertops, etc.) with approved sanitation products. Between events, they will sanitize seating areas using a state-of-theart atomizing spray mister which allows for the virucide to penetrate the cloth surfaces within the halls.” C. Concerts on pg. 2

Due to the events of COVID-19 and Homecoming Week being canceled this year, the very first Pokes Palooza ever is upon us. Pokes Palooza is a week-long event created to fill the campus with excitement and school spirit. Ariel Scholten, an agricultural communications junior and executive for Pokes Palooza explained the heart behind the event. “The word ‘palooza’ means an exaggerated event and, truly, Pokes Palooza is the best of the Cowboys on display,” Scholten said. “It has Claire Boomer philanthropy, campus spirit, celebration and communication.

DON’T QUIT! “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” (Gal.6:9-10NIV) As believers in Christ, we have been given the Spirit of love; we are born of God. God is love! (2 Tim.1:7, 1 Jn.4:16) We are encouraged to “...live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself for us.” (Eph.5:2NIV) We are disciples of Christ, so let’s follow him. Giving and doing good! People do not have to deserve our actions of love. We can give it freely as Christ set the example. He did not come destroy men’s lives, but to save them. (Jn.3:17) All kinds of opportunities will present themselves to do good.

Take the challenge to do the better thing; give, help, encourage. Don’t struggle about what others do, but do that which pleases the Lord. Your example may be the very thing that will motivate another to do the same. However, don’t do it for that purpose. Jesus told us to do our giving in secret; it is not to be done to show off! The promise of Gal.6 is that we will reap a good harvest if we do not give up. If we are always looking for immediate fruit, we may become discouraged and quit. Keep doing and living God’s way, good fruit will eventually come. Whether it is sooner or later is in the Lord’s hands. The promise is sure, and in the process we are becoming more and more like our Lord. We are talking of fruit for this life and the life to come!

JUST KICK IT Does playing with varying types of soccer balls have an impact?

Sam Hutchens Amidst certain Cowgirl soccer matches, unseen corporate battles are waged on the field. The battles, between Nike, Adidas and Under Armour are hidden in plain sight — on the upper right-hand side of uniforms. That spot, approximately 3 by 3 inches, is reserved for a jersey patch. Whatever manufacturer that holds the rights as the exclusive supplier of the particular college is able to prominently display its brand on the college jersey. Three companies have representation in the Big 12. Nike leads the way by representing eight schools, with Kansas (Adidas) and Texas Tech (Under Armour) the holdouts. Being the manufacturing sponsor of a school goes well beyond a small patch emblazoned on a jersey or the logo on a pair of shin guards. Some equipment provided to a school has a small but direct impact on the game. “We’re a Nike school, so our game balls are top of the line Nike,” coach Colin Carmichael said. “If we play TCU, they have the exact same balls that we do because they (are) also a Nike school.” Because the home team provides the game balls, when the Cowgirls travel to Lubbock and Lawrence for a match, the ball is different from what they are used to. “You go to Texas Tech, they are Under Armour and they use the Wilson NCAA Championship balls,” Carmichael said. “Those are a little different. KU is Adidas so we play with the Adidas ball up there.” Does a swoosh-adorned Nike soccer

ball feel different from a striped Adidas ball? “Not really,” freshman defender Kionna Simon said. “The texture a little bit. It just depends on the ball. Sometimes a ball will be more sticky, sometimes it’s harder, it just kind of depends.” Carmichael pitched in as well. “It’s certainly not a huge factor but it can make a little bit of difference,” Carmichael said. “They carry a little differently or they might knuckle a little bit more than the other one. But it is something we all have to deal with.” Although the differences can seem minimal, the Cowgirls do not pass up any chances at getting prepared for the variation. “When we play in postseason — at the Big 12 and NCAA tournament — Wil-

son right now is the brand that have won the licensing agreement with the NCAA,” Carmichael said. “We actually have to train with those late in the year so we can get used to them a little bit.” Regardless of the slight differences that different types of soccer balls provide, or other factors such as the amount of air they are pumped up with, OSU maintains a mindset of doing its job and playing hard. “Honestly it’s all just soccer to me,” senior midfielder Camy Huddleston said. “It’s a ball and a rectangular field... I don’t think it makes any difference in the game. The team that capitalizes more chances or has more effort will win the game.” sports.ed@ocolly.com

Yor Anei transferring opens new opportunities for Kalib Boone

By Noah Weber

With Yor Anei transferring to SMU, the frontcourt is open for taking — for Kalib Boone’s taking, to be specific. “When I found out Yor was transferring, I realized that I can’t be the Kalib that took games on and off last year,” Boone said. “I just got to embrace being someone that is consistent. That was my whole focus. I know I’m going to show up every time and I’m going to do what I’m told.” With Anei transferring, it is expected that Kalib

Boone is going to have a much bigger role in the offense and regularly be a part of the starting lineup. Although it looks like Anei transferring is going to get Boone more playing time, it still had an effect on him. “When I first found out that Yor was transferring, I was kind of sad,” Boone said. “I went through a year with that dude. It’s sad that he wanted to leave, but I understand. I talk to him every day. He is happy with what he’s doing.” sports.ed@ocolly.com
