Neyor dazzled the Mountain West last season for the Cowboys, where the big bodied, 6-foot-3 inch, 210-pound wide out put up 878 yards on 44 receptions, while he got into the endzone 12 times. The deep threat will look to continue his scoring ways in Austin. Oklahoma Loss: QB Caleb Williams Williams is arguably the biggest loss that any team in the nation is facing this upcoming scene. Williams burst on to the season after replacing former Sooners quarterback Spencer Rattler midway through the Red River Rivalry game against Texas, and he did not look back. Williams posted an 86.5 QBR, which was

good for fourth in the nation among quarterbacks, and despite starting only 7 games, Williams threw for 1,900 yards and boasted a 21-4 touchdown to interception ratio. Oklahoma will have a tough time replacing Williams production, but they were able to pry another quarterback away to try and fill the shoes of the supremely talented Williams. Addition: QB Dillon Gabriel Former UCF quarterback Dillon Gabriel will be Venables’ shortterm replacement for Williams. Oklahoma was able to swoop in for Gabriel at the last second after he announced he was planning to use his final year of eligibility to play for UCLA. See Portal on 3

Two sides of current music

'Harry’s House' vs. 'American Heartbreak' Mallory Pool Staff Reporter

Via Google Images Harry Styles performed in Long Island at a release party for his third studio album “Harry’s House.”

music fan first. Zach Bryan is one of my favorite red dirt artists and as much as I love ‘Harry’s House’, ‘American Heartbreak’ has to take the cake for me. This 34-track album is one of the biggest releases in country music in a while. With enough songs to make three separate albums, the Oologah native has given us a raw and honest work that will stand the test of time in the country music world. Bryan imagines an album full of bull riders, long-lost lovers and wandering highway boys, telling the stories over simple, stripped arrangements and an emotionally charged voice that rivals that of Tyler Childers and Jason Isbell. “There’s plenty of characters on ‘American Heartbreak’—some of them I know, some of them I don’t,” Bryan tells Apple Music. “Sometimes I’m just in a breakfast place and I see someone doing something and I’m like, ‘It’d be crazy if that person was a bull rider.’ And then I’m like, ‘Oh wait—that would be a cool story.” The album highlights the massively successful song, “Something in the Orange,” which sparks with longing and brooding heartache. My personal favorite track “Ninth Cloud” is a slightly more produced track than Bryan’s usual work, but nonetheless teaches us that in order to reach cloud nine and to experience life to the fullest, you first have to go through some tough times. One of the most unique tracks “This Road I Know” is more of a poem that Bryan speaks as an acoustic guitar plays in the back. The track is raw and real and made me tear up the first time I heard it. He makes references to many other tracks on the album including “Something in the Orange.” It is a beautiful and unique piece that I wanted to highlight. Bryan made an album that holds some of the most well-crafted lyrics I’ve heard in a while. There was not a single skip track on ‘American Heartbreak’, and it will continue to be a success as Bryan heads on his second tour.

Forty-seven songs, two genres and a whole lot of emotions mark this double album release on May 20. Zach Bryan and Harry Styles both release fantastic albums on the same day and shake up pop and country music fans alike. For the last two weeks, people have been listening nonstop to one of two albums, ‘Harry’s House’ or ‘American Heartbreak’. Both Styles and Bryan release amazing music and it’s hard to compare two different genres of music so that’s not really what I’m doing here. I’m here to give you a glimpse into the two types of music lovers right now: the ‘Harry’s House’ lovers and the ‘American Heartbreak’ lovers. We’ll start with Styles’ ‘Harry’s House’. Opening with a fun and straight forward song that basically screams pop music is “Music for a Sushi Restaurant.” Styles knew that this was how he wanted to open his third solo album. “It became really obvious what the first song should be based on what you play for people when they’re like, ‘Oh, can I hear a bit of music?’” Styles told Apple Music. “It’s like, how do you want to set the tone?” The album continues to be an upbeat, groovy album with electronic tones. Styles wants people to view the album less like a geographical location and more as a state of mind—his mind. “Imagine it’s a day in my house, a day in my mind,” Styles said. “What do I go through? I’m playing fun music. I’m playing sad music. I have doubts. I’m feeling stuff.” What I love about ‘Harry’s House’ is that Styles has kind of stepped away from the need to be exciting and moved more toward a true pop singer-songwriter with this album. It’s real and feels like something that will establish who he is as a musician. Now, as much as I love Harry Styles, growing up in a small Oklahoma entertainment.ed@ocolly.com town will always make me a country

sports Portal... Continued from 1 Gabriel played in only three games for the Knights last season, but in those games, he threw for 814 yards and nine touchdowns, and that was coming off a 2020 campaign where he threw for 3,570 yards and 32 touchdowns while only throwing four interceptions before UCF head coach and play caller Josh Heupel left to take the same role at Tennessee. Gabriel and OU will be looking toward one another as both look to reestablish themselves among the nations elite. Iowa State Loss: DB Isheem Young The loss of the Cyclones star safety adds insult to injury for Iowa State. Before taking his talents to Oxford to play for Ole Miss, Young forced five fumbles and recorded three interceptions in two years starting for the Cyclones. While Young was only able to total 33 solo tackles this past season, he had 55 total tackles, along with two pass breakups. Young noticeably flew around the defensive backfield when watching the Cyclones last season. ISU has had defensive contributors Craig Mcdonald and Datrone Young join Young in the transfer portal the last few months, leaving Matt Campbell with lots of production to replace for the Cyclones this upcoming season. West Virginia Addition: QB J.T Daniels After originally committing to play his college football at USC, Daniels transferred to Georgia, showing some flashes of why he was ranked as the No. 2 quarterback in his recruiting class. However, Daniels was never able to get a good grasp on the starting job, as last season, along with their historically great defense, Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett led the Bulldogs to a national championship. Daniels will now be taking over the starting position in

Morgantown, where the position will be Daniels’ to lose, and coming off an incredibly rocky season which resulted in a bowl game loss, both West Virginia and Daniels will be looking to rebound in 2022.

Oklahoma State Loss: DB Tanner McCallister OSU’s dominant 2021 defense lost several key contributors this offseason, with Malcolm Rodriguez, Devin Harper, Chrisitan Holmes, Kolby Harvel-Peel, Tre Sterling and others heading to the NFL. After a productive 2020 season, McCallister followed it up with an even better 2021 season, totaling 42 tackles, six pass

this coming season. Martinez’ time with the Cornhuskers was marred with inconsistency. After his freshman season, Martinez was a popular dark horse pick to become a Heisman contender going forward in his career, but that never materialized. The former four-star recruit’s most prolific season came during his freshman year, where he posted 2,600 yards, completed nearly 65 percent of his passes, and most importantly, boasted a 17 to eight touchdown to interception ratio, something Martinez never came close to repeating for Nebraska. Martinez will look to return to his freshman form for Kansas State, and if he does, the Wildcats could

breakups, and an interception to help OSU to have the best defense in the Big 12 and one of the best in the nation. McCallister elected to follow former OSU defensive coordinator Jim Knowles to Columbus and play for Ohio State during his final year of eligibility. The Cowboys will be forced to replace significant production and someone who would have been a veteran leader on what will be a young defense. Baylor Addition: DL Jaxon Player Baylor’s biggest addition through the portal came in the form of former Tulsa defensive tackle Jaxon Player. Player was

ranked as a four-star transfer prospect and he will look to form a formidable duo in the middle of the Bears defensive line with Siaki Ika. Player progressively grew into a difference maker for the Golden Hurricane, recording his best all-around season in 2021, a season in which Player recorded a career-high five sacks, to go along with fifty tackles and a forced fumble. Player also played a crucial role in Tulsa’s bowl game victory over Old Dominion, where he

receptions for 130 yards and a touchdown. Evans career has been marked by oddities and uncertainty early on, but if he can carry over his impact at TCU over to his new home at Ole Miss, the Rebels could be competitive for a playoff spot sooner than later. Loss: EDGE Ochaun Mathis After a dominant 2020 season in which Mathis posted nine sacks and 46 tackles, the former TCU edge rusher came down to earth in 2021, where his sack total was reduced to only four. Regardless of Mathis’ regression this past season, he remained a pest for opposing teams off the edge and grew into a better player in pass coverage, recording a career-high three pass breakups during the 2021 season. Texas Tech Addition: OL Cole Spencer Spencer, who played at Western Kentucky before deciding to transfer to Texas Tech, was ranked as a four-star transfer prospect, and is poised to make a strong impact on the Red Raiders during his first and likely only season in Lubbock.

Is it time for ‘Jurassic World’ to go extinct? Connor Gray Staff Reporter 1993 introduced the world to director Steven Spielberg’s vision of dinosaurs in modern day society with the release of ‘Jurassic Park.’ With the original quickly becoming a classic, the rest of the 1990s continued to give us sequels that would round out the ‘Jurassic Park’ trilogy in 2001. Seemingly at an end, the franchise was then given a revival through 2015’s ‘Jurassic World’ and its sequel in 2018 which is where the franchise and the concept that used to feel so brilliant, now feels stale. With the release of ‘Jurassic

World: Dominion’ coming June 10, 2022, lead actor Chris Pratt describes the film as, “Thirty years in the making – this is the sixth Jurassic film, and it’s the end of this franchise,” in an article with People. Whether this ends up being true 20 years from now, we will have to wait and see. In the meantime, I took to Twitter to run a poll on what the excitement levels are looking like for the franchise’s conclusion. After raising the question of “Are you excited for Jurassic World: Dominion,” 67% of the 18 votes are on the side of being excited. The other third of the votes, however, were either not interested or passionately just ready for it all to end. Stephen Millet, an Architecture student at Oklahoma State University, shared his thoughts on the film by saying, “I have loved dinosaurs and the Jurassic Park movies forever, but I have not seen anything

from this new one that f makes me want to go see it.” Millet then continues by stating, “I will probably watch it one day though.” These feelings seem to be the sum of how most of the general audience feels about the release of ‘Jurassic World: Dominion.’ Universal Studios appears to be beating a dead dinosaur with their final film in the series where it seems like people simply are not interested anymore and those that are interested, are due to the name of the iconic franchise alone.

sports Campbell says goodbye to OSU, shifts focus toward MLB draft prospect in the latest MLB mock draft by mlb.com, and has fluctuated as an early second to late first round pick over the course of the 2022 season. Campbell came to OSU as the No. 190 overall recruit in the 2019 class, as part of a No. 3 ranked recruiting class for the Cowboys. In 2022, Campbell led the Big 12 conference in strikeouts (141) along with a 3.82 ERA and a 9-2 record on the mound. Campbell fishinished with Big 12 first team honors for the second consecutive season and is a finalist for the Golden Spikes Award, given to the nation’s best amateur baseball player.

Habbie Colen Cowboy ace pitcher Justin Campbell declared the end of his college career on Monday. He will prepare for the MLB draft in July.

Lariat... Continued from 1 It felt as if Lariat was still helping the team. Through the three competitions she took part in, Larner had bolstered the women’s team and provided it an opportunity to win big in the end. “(Lariat) had maybe the greatest goat tying start that any college competitor has ever had before she passed,” said Lexie Russell, an OSU breakaway roper. “And so she set us up for victory, and so we felt like we really owed it to her this time to pull together and finish strong and really come out with the win this time.” In the 2021 season, the OSU women’s team was in a similar spot. With three rodeos left, a region championship was in sight. So, Larner, with a stern face, pulled the girls together and delivered a message. “’Hey, you need to pull your act together and we need to win the women’s team this year and qualify as a team to the college finals,’” Russell recalls her saying. But the team came up

short of its goal, finishing second in the Central Plains. There was a lingering feeling of guilt. This time, they felt like they owed it to Larner. The team was set on not letting the region title slip away again. And they didn’t. At the conclusion of the spring season at the Oklahoma Panhandle State rodeo, it was official. The Cowgirls clinched the Central Plains region and headed to the College National Finals Rodeo. Not only had they won, but they accomplished the goal that Larner had always wanted for the team. “It’s so cool that they still got it done,” team roper Cody Huwa said.. “Lariat was such a competitor and instrumental part of that women’s team. Just to see them keep moving, keep winning and keep going with it, it was pretty impressive.” *** Russell and her mom sat down to pack for the trip to Casper, Wyoming, for the CNFR next week (June 1218). As they shuffled through clothes, Russell made a decision. If it’s not pink, don’t put it in the suitcase. Larner’s teammates said she was known to sport pink shirts and outfits, and she was also a lover of bling, sparkle

and flash. Russell smiled as she picked out attire dedicated to her friend. “I can’t help but think that I want her as part of those runs as much as I can have,” Russell said. “So, I’m definitely bringing all the pink I’ve got. I’m bringing all the sparkles I’ve got, and I’m really trying to channel my inner Lariat when I think about what my competition runs are going to look like.” Along with Russell, the group travel north to make the season even more memorable. “I think they all have that that they can carry with them,” Hollingsworth said. “And we all feel like she’s here this week and really ready to ride with them all.” *** During the spring season, the yellow butterfly disappeared for a while. The team was busy traveling across the plains to competitions every weekend, and thoughts of the butterfly subsided. The women’s team won the region and both men and women competitors went home for the summer to continue training and practicing for the CNFR. Bartling was the lone teammate remaining in Stillwater.

One of the most memorable college careers in recent memory for OSU baseball has come to an end. OSU sophomore ace pitcher Justin Campbell announced on Tuesday that his time at OSU has come to an end and he would be resorting all focus towards preparing for the 2022 MLB draft. Campbell is currently sports.ed@ocolly.com ranked as the No. 34 overall And as she prepared for a shot at a national title, the butterfly returned. “The last two weeks it showed up, and it’s been out here in the summer with me,” Bartling said. Bartling already knew her friend was still with her and her teammates. They all will carry Larner with them as they work toward the ultimate goal they

shared with her. But that gave her extra reassurance. “I don’t know if it’s the same butterfly, but I just think it’s cool,” Bartling said. “We always feel her around, and we know that she’s with us.”

WHEN IS LITTLE MUCH?

There is a short chorus that has encouraged me many times. “Little is much if God is in it. Labor not for wealth or fame. There’s a crown and you can win it. If you go in Jesus’ name.” The woman, who poured the precious ointment on Jesus just before he was crucified, was criticized for “wasting” this expensive item. Yet, Jesus said everywhere the gospel is preached this woman’s action would be told. (Mk 14:3-9) Little things mean a lot as we are willing to serve the Lord. Paul mentions many in Romans 16 who helped him. The Good Samaritan stopped to help the man beaten and robbed. (Lu.10:30-37) Paul writes as you have opportunity, do good to all men, especially to other believers.(Gal.6:10) When the poor widow dropped the two pennies, all that she had, into the temple offering. Jesus said she gave more the large offerings given. Her “large giving” was in relation to what she had. (Mk.12:41-44)

Many people may plan to give when they receive a great amount of money, but that large amount of money may never come. We may plan to give time or talent to a project when we have more time, but that perfect time arrangement may never happen. Again, the apostle Paul encourages us “as you have opportunity, do good to all men.” We never know when a little gesture of kindness, with money, or helping in an area of service, spending a little time with a person, a word of encouragement, will be just the action that will be a great help to someone. These can be practical ways of living out the Lord’s challenge to love one another. This is the fulfilling of the many commandments in the Bible: loving people by word and action.

He was also is sending six contestants to the Colnamed champion heeler in the Central

Plains Region this year. A season ago, as a member of Western Oklahoma State College’s team, he left the finals as runner-up as a heeler in the team roping event. But he’s confident in his new team. “I believe we’re more than ready,” Yeahquo said. “I believe OSU is gonna have a good week in Casper.” After winning the region, the Cowgirls are looking to build on the momentum. Lexie Russell will head to Wyoming to compete for a breakaway roping championship, but she puts emphasis on the team’s goal, too. “Yes, we have to do great in our individual events in order to have a chance at the women’s team (title), but that’s also definitely a major goal for us is joining together to win that women’s team national title,” Russell said. Kenna McNeill, who claimed the Women’s All-Around title in the Central Plains Region, also has high aspirations for her team. That means completing OSU’s ascension in the college rodeo

hierarchy. “I think we all have the same goal, we want to do what we can and what we’ve been working hard for,” McNeill said. “I think everybody there agrees that we want to win a national championship for OSU on the team (side), and I think that we all just kind of agree that we’re going to do what we can to do that.” But there’s no doubt that the OSU rodeo program is in better shape than ever as it heads into the CNFR. Both in the arena and out, there’s been a physical and cultural change. “It’s kinda like you’re at a rodeo and you see a black and orange vest and you know that they’ll have your back whenever you need it,” said Cheyenne Bartling, who is going to the CNFR in goat tying and breakaway roping. “If you see one, then you’re probably seeing a lot of us together.”
