OSU freshman savors first game day experience at BPS N oah Web e r staff reporter @oco llysp orts

The smell of popcorn filled the air as I walked into Boone Pickens Stadium for the Oklahoma State football team’s home opener against McNeese State.

The sea of orange that entered the stadium with me was unlike anything else I had seen. Fans of all ages joined together for the big game.

I could already see the rich traditions and feel the electricity in the air after only five minutes in the stadium.

As I walked up the

stairs to get to my seat, I knew this was about to be the best sports experience of my life.

As game time inched closer, I began to get even more excited. After the national anthem, the atmosphere intensified more.

Everyone knew what was about to happen.

The hype video began to play, and all the fans rose from their seats and stood. We were on our feet for the entirety of the game.

Next, the famous Kurt Russell quote,“You tell them I’m coming, and hell’s coming with me!” played through the speakers.

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 2019

Cowboy football was back.

Fans screamed, fireworks boomed and hands clapped as the Cowboys ran onto the field.

Following kickoff, my heart began to race and I became even more excited to see the new look of the Cowboys.

The second play from scrimmage was A.J. Green’s beautiful pick six. This game was already exciting.

OSU continued to obliterate McNeese until the final whistle.

The scoreboard read Oklahoma State 56, McNeese 14.

This was definitely

the most fun I have had at a sports game.

My favorite parts about the game day experience were the pregame videos and performances because they prepared me for the game and got me extremely excited. My eyes did not leave the video board when the hype videos appeared on the screen.

There was not a dull moment in this game, and I can’t wait to be back in Boone Pickens Stadium on Sept. 28 to see the Cowboys face off against Kansas State.

Cowboys showcase depth in victory against McNeese State h a l lie hart co-editor-in-chief @halliehart

As Braydon Johnson sped past the rows of Oklahoma State football fans and approached the end zone, he couldn’t believe it was happening.

He had just secured a long pass from quarterback Dru Brown, and with each yard Johnson gained, he was a step closer to living the scenario he had constantly envisioned in his head.

After the game, Johnson grinned as he described the moment, reliving the dreamlike state the play had induced.

“It felt like I was floating,” Johnson said.

“It felt like I was in a dream, really.”

Johnson, a redshirt sophomore wide receiver, scored his first career touchdown during OSU’s 56-14 victory against McNeese State on Saturday night at Boone Pickens Stadium.

He was one of a multitude of Cowboy backups who had chances to make plays in the first home game of the season.

After a shaky start offensively, OSU recovered with a burst of energy from Tylan Wallace, who set a career high for longest receiv-

ing touchdown and then broke it with a 75-yard touchdown. OSU had a 35-7 advantage early in the third quarter, meaning Wallace and other starters could rest while second-string players took charge.

The receiving corps showed that Wallace isn’t the only one who can make an impact.

Brown, who replaced starting quarterback Spencer Sanders, threw his first touchdown pass to C.J. Moore, a 6-foot5 redshirt freshman receiver from Tulsa. In the third quarter, Moore bolted into the left side of the end zone on the 59-yard play.

“He’s very talented just because of his size and how he can move with his size,” Johnson said. “He’s real shifty, and he maneuvers well.”

On the home Cowboys’ next offensive drive, they extended the lead to 49-7 with Johnson’s 69-yard touchdown play.

Coach Mike Gundy said he enjoyed seeing Johnson, who is regarded as one of OSU’s fastest players, catch the ball and showcase his speed.

“That’s what we brought him here for,” Gundy said. “He took off and did a nice job.

Braydon, he was rolling

pretty good.”

The Cowboys also swapped out starters on defense. Philip Redwine-Bryant, a former walk-on linebacker who was placed on scholarship for this season, intercepted the ball for the first time. He nearly reached the end zone, laying the foundation for walk-on running back Micah Cooper’s touchdown that followed.

Redwine-Bryant racked up five tackles, four of which were solo stops.

“It’s awesome for him,” Gundy said. “…

He’s one of the leaders of our team in a lot of different areas.”

Although RedwineBryant is a redshirt senior, this nonconference matchup also provided experience for several freshmen who could potentially redshirt this year. Freshmen who played included Xavier Player, Deondrick Glass, Langston Anderson, Isreal Isuman-Hundley and Kody Walterscheid.

Moore discussed how this game provided a glimpse into the Cowboys’ future.

“We’re coming,” Moore said. “We have a lot of depth, and so us being young, already, we’re just gonna be able to keep building off of that.”

CONTINUE!!

There is a saying that I heard a number of years ago: “It is easier to gain than to maintain.” I believe this is very true.

To start something is easier than to keep it going. However, it can be done! “...continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.”

(Phil.2:12-13 NIV) The apostle is telling us that something good has happened. When we turn to and trust in Christ, God forgives our many sins and gives us a new life within: we are born of God. This begins our life with God. Now we are called to continue to work out God’s life and plan in and through us. This is an ongoing work until we leave this life. With all the distractions about us, it is a real challenge! What is wonderful about this, God himself will work in and through us, and it counts

OCOLLY.COM

for eternity! “...But as for you, continue in what you learned and have become convinced of, because you know from whom you learned it. And how...you have known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.” (2 Tim.3:14-15 NIV) There are those today who tell us that the Bible is “out of fashion.” We don’t need it. We have new ideas. I want to encourage you to stay with the scriptures. You have been taught from the Bible and you are in good company.

Wonderful things have been done by those who lived by the Word of God. This path promises eternal fruit. .

Perseverance is taught all through the Bible. We are told that “at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.”(Gal.6:9 NIV) Continue in God’s way!!

Review: Kayla’s take on ‘Hamilton’ in Tulsa k ay la dunn

entertainment editor

@k aylaj_du n n

I can officially attest; “Hamilton” truly does live up to the hype.

Upon its release in 2015, the Broadway musical’s fame soared, garnering 11 Tony awards alone.

I missed the initial “Hamilton” fanfare, but during the fall of 2017 I moved into a room with three musical theater buffs, thus spurring the genesis of my love for the period piece.

Its quick wit, double meanings and insights are impressively written.

And now, three years after the announcement that “Hamilton” would tour in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, I refused to throw away my shot at finally seeing the show come to life on stage.

I’ll refrain from delving into every stunningly crafted aspect of “Hamilton,” but here are my biggest takeaways from watching “Hamilton” live at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center.

First, seeing our founding fathers portrayed by minorities struck me to my core.

“Hamilton” is about the life of Alexander Hamilton and thus features prominent historical figures such as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams; all of whom are white. However, Lin Manuel Miranda, the author and original lead actor on Broadway, refused to whitewash the show.

There is something absolutely poetic about not limiting the actors to the same ethnicities of

the original historical figures.

Seeing Thomas Jefferson, a historically staunch slave owner, portrayed by a black man felt like a milestone.

America is a country envisioned by immigrants and built on the backs of slaves.

Seeing our founding fathers portrayed by minorities in such a grand and successful fashion impacted me more than I expected. In that moment, it felt like America truly belonged to all of its people, not solely the historically elite.

The next big thing that hit me was the embodiment of the line, “History has its eyes on you.” If you’ve listened to “Hamilton” songs, you know that phrase is a repeated theme throughout the entire musical.

I’d heard them sing it in the soundtrack countless times, and the motive behind it made sense to me; the decisions these characters were making held weight people would feel for generations to come.

What I didn’t expect was the physical manifestation of that line on stage. During key moments, such as when George Washington and Alexander Hamilton made a private and consequential decision, the extras would stare from the shadows, lining the balconies and watching intently. They never said anything; they weren’t part of the scene. They simply watched motionlessly as major moments unfurled.

It gave significant power and weight to “history has its eyes on you.” To me, those extras represented history, and even the audience in that moment,

watching centuries later.

Next, I loved the extent to which the actors implemented rap and hip-hop culture in the performance. “Hamilton” is not a classical Broadway show because nearly all of the songs are raps. According to the Tulsa Performing Arts Center, if Hamilton’s tempo matched that of most musicals, its running time would be nearly six hours.

Rapping allows for extremely quick wit and in-depth coverage over the plot line. I knew this going in, but seeing the characters clap-back at each other, engage in rap battles and use currently popular dance moves gave the historical piece a modern vibe.

Finally, the choreography, lighting, turntable and blocking were superb. The set itself is stationary and doesn’t change much throughout the show, but in the center of the stage is a sunken, rotating platform known as a turntable. During songs such as “Satisfied,” the spinning turntable in conjunction with the beautiful lighting and choreography truly took my breath away.

I’ll be honest, I started crying halfway through the first act and had worked myself into an ugly cry by the end. The way they tackle the duel scene between Hamilton and Burr … I can’t bring myself to spoil it for you. You’ll just need to experience it yourself.

“Hamilton” is an absolute work of art visually, emotionally and intellectually; and if you haven’t jumped on the bandwagon, you’re missing out.
