OSU’s new look Monday, August 16, 2021

Anna Pope News Editor Oklahoma State University’s (OSU) new campaign, ‘Orange is the Answer,’ is now in place. The campaign focuses on highlighting OSU’s ability to produce a new generation of people who can solve pressing problems not only in Oklahoma but across all borders. Founded in 1890, Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College, renamed Oklahoma State University in 1957, was established with a land-grant mission. The mission at the colleges were to Abby Cage

Nearly 18 months after the COVID-19 pandemic flipped our lives upside down, the idea of spending a

semester abroad seems like a breath of fresh air, almost too good to be true. My decision to spend a semester in Spain came right in the thick of the pandemic last fall. Despite the rising cases, I was sure that by Fall 2021

things would be nearing normalcy. The pandemic gave me a new resolve, to make the most of the time I have and to travel when I am able. Abbey Billman, a junior studying Spanish education, shares a similar story, though her trip was

originally scheduled for fall 2020. “After so long without really being able to go anywhere, I am looking forward to [being] able to travel and experience a new place and make new See Abroad on 2

hold coursework in agriculture, engineering, military training and liberal arts. While there are over 100 land-grant universities in the United State, OSU, along

with Langston University, are the only two land-grant colleges in Oklahoma. The new campaign also showcases OSU remaining true it’s land-grant heritage by focusing on research to

better answer profound questions. The University posted this video on social media: https://www.instagram. com/p/CSFgPdml02B/ While the univer-

Abby Cage Freshmen with Pistol Pete kicking off the school year at convocation.

Abroad... Continued from 1 friends! Although COVID cases are increasing again, I am still remaining hopeful that I will be able to travel abroad, but also keeping reality in mind as I prepare,” Billman said. She and I will be traveling

to Valencia, Spain to intern with Christian Missionary Fellowship, an organization that plants ministries on college campuses. She plans to take classes online through OSU. The difference between planning a trip now, as opposed to before the pandemic, is having a back-up plan. Abbey’s twin sister Allie, who studies nonprofit management at OSU, also has a plan to go abroad. Her trip to Scotland was originally planned for spring 2021 but is now rescheduled for the upcoming

spring. “When preparing to go abroad, I had to make living arrangements while being in the states, but I wasn’t prepared to find a place to live in Spring 2021 when my trip was cancelled. COVID changed plans for a lot of people, and it made studying abroad a challenge, but I’m excited to continue planning for a trip this coming spring,” Allie Billman said. “Now my main concern is watching for updates in my host country and doing what I can to be

prepared to travel in the midst of a pandemic.” Though times remain uncertain, we remain hopeful. Spain opened borders to tourists in June, and our plans are still in effect as of right now. If this pandemic has taught us one thing, it is that nothing is for certain. We must seize the opportunities we are given because they could be taken away at any moment. entertainment.ed@ocolly.com

Blend and go smoothie recipes Lauren Chattman Newsday As we return from summer vacation and get ready to go back to work and school, we’re confronted once again with that seasonal dilemma: What to pack for lunch?

RUNNING TO WIN! “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run...Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games (athletics) goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last; but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man beating the air. No. I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.” (I Co. 9:2427 NIV) The Olympic games; every 4 years. Young men and women train and train to participate and hopefully win a medal. It is a great honor to win. However, it really counts only for this life. The Apostle makes it clear that believers are in a race for a crown that is eternal. The value of crown will never end. He challenges us to run to win! A faithful Christian leader is promised “the crown of glory that will never fade away.” (1 Pet.5:4 NIV) The person who perseveres under trial “will receive the crown of life that the Lord promised to them who love him.” (Ja.1:12, Rev.2:10) This is a person that does not give up.

The Apostle said, “I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.” (2 Tim.4:78) Therefore a crown of righteousness will be given to him at that final judgment. Yet, not only to him but to all who long for Christ’s coming. Dear ones in Christ, whether young or older, let’s run with Christ. Let’s not give up! Let’s fulfil God’s plan for our lives.. Let’s be faithful to the end. The end will be glorious!

3 takeaways from Cowgirls exhibition against Missouri Ben Hutchens Digital Editor

The Cowgirls are thankful it didn’t count. The Oklahoma State soccer team lost its first match of the season, an exhibition, against Missouri 1-0 Friday afternoon. Here are three takeaways from the match. The Goalkeeper battle is whittling down Of the three goalkeepers on the OSU soccer roster only two, Amber Lockwood and Evie Vitali, saw action. Lockwood, who started three games last season as a freshman, got the first crack at goal in OSU’s exhibition against Missouri. She surrendered the only goal of the match on a header off a free kick in the first half. Freshman Evie Vitalie played the entire second half of the exhibition. She made a diving save in the 58th minute and another stop in the 60th. A little sloppy The Cowgirls didn’t score and didn’t appear to be operating at peak efficiency. This was partially because stars Olyvia Dowell, Grace Yochum and Kim Rodriguez didn’t play. Fouls and offsides hurt the Cowgirls who definitely looked like they were playing their first organized match since last May. OSU won by staying healthy The Cowgirls lost the match, but because it was an exhibition it won’t go on the books. More importantly for the team, nobody was hurt. Earlier this week, OSU coach Colin Carmichael said injuries were a problem for his team heading into the season. Now, Carmichael won’t have any additional roster tinkering to do on the bus ride back to Stillwater as he prepares for OSU’s first regular season match against UTSA on Thursday.

Tumma’s take Breaking down OSU’s LB situation Sudeep Tumma Staff Reporter In this 12-part series, we’ll take an in-depth look at OSU’s QB, RB, WR, CW, O-line, D-line, LB, CB, S, ST, OFF and DEF situations. Each report will break down relevant players’ strengths/weaknesses, what to expect in 2021 and other critical information. When senior Malcolm Rodriguez and redshirt senior Devin Harper opted to come back to Stillwater, this linebacker corps received a huge boost. Rodriguez, who led Oklahoma State in tackles the past two seasons, has been a key cog since converting from safety to linebacker. The 5-foot-11, 225-pound linebacker possesses excellent pursuit speed, shoots gaps well and is a form tackler. His athleticism blends well with his strength, which allows him to be such a productive player. In defensive coordinator Jim Knowles’ 4-2-5 scheme, Rodriguez is used in a variety of ways. He can stop the run, he’s schemed well as a pass rusher and even has the ability to drop back in coverage. Harper, who’s been a productive backup the past few seasons, gets his chance to start next to Rodriguez. The 6-0, 235-pound Harper is a long, rangy linebacker with great instincts as a tackler. He’s been solid in coverage as well — most notably with an athletic interception against

Kansas. Harper’s talent was always evident, and even as the No. 3 linebacker last year, there was virtually no drop-off when he came in the game. Rodriguez and Harper two are firmly entrenched as the starters, but the questions begin after that. The rest of the linebacker room is littered with young, albeit unproven talent. Of that, the two most likely to see the significant playing time after the starters are sophomore Mason Cobb and redshirt junior Lamont Bishop. Cobb played sparingly last

season, and Bishop didn’t see the field. Still, there’s some intrigue with these guys. Bishop, a JUCO transfer from Iowa Central C.C., is well-built at 6-3, 230 pounds. He’s a do-it-all linebacker who could be a major factor this season. Cobb has been lauded for his tackling and coverage ability coming out of high school. However it shakes out, the linebackers are going to be an important part of the game plan once again. Last year, OSU was able to deploy skilled, versatile athletes at linebacker, and it often overwhelmed

opposing offenses. These LBs might drop in coverage, rush off a delayed blitz or run a stunt with a defensive lineman — the offense was kept guessing. That was the intrigue with Knowles’ scheme/packages, but he had players with the versatility, athleticism and talent to do it. The losses of All-Big 12 Amen Ogbongbemiga and OSU’s 2020 sack leader Calvin Bundage are obviously sizable, but this unit has the pieces to flourish. sports.ed@ocolly.com

2021 Big 12 preview: Iowa State FAST FACTS Head coach: Matt Campbell (Sixth season) 2020 record: 9-3 (8-1 Big 12)

Three key players: Brock Purdy - Senior - Quarterback

Sarah Phipps/USA TODAY Sports

Sam Hutchens Staff Reporter Was last year a flash in the pan, or the start of a fire hot enough to burn the doubters? Iowa State will answer that in 2021. The Cyclones are coming off a stellar 9-3 season that ended in a Big 12 championship game appearance and a Fiesta Bowl victory. Anticipation in Ames is

heightened. Hope for a repeat — or improvement — on last year’s results rests on the personnel returning. ISU, ranked No. 8 in the USA Today preseason coaches poll, is getting almost everyone back. The Cyclones return ten offensive starters and 12 of their top 15 tacklers. Head coach Matt Campbell, who reportedly turned down NFL job offers in the offseason, enters with one of his best rosters. Junior RB Breece Hall had 1572 rushing yards and 23 touchdowns a year ago and brings a package of excellent vision and dynamic passcatching ability that will present a challenge for defensive coordinators across the Big 12. Hall joins quarterback

Brock Purdy. The veteran signal-caller put up big numbers in past seasons (throwing to arguably the best TE in the Big 12 Charlie Kolar, who also returns, has undoubtedly helped) but will need a consistent season to take his team to the next level. After a shaky start, the Cyclone defense rebounded to round out the team makeup. Linebacker Mike Rose, the 2020 Big 12 defensive player of the year, and DB Greg Eisworth look to anchor what may be the weakness of a team that, if everything goes right, could find itself in its first ever College Football Playoff. sports.ed@ocolly.com

X-factor: Breece Hall: He will see more stacked boxes than every and likely a huge workload, but he’s shown nothing but dependability thus far and is on the Heisman trophy radar.
