Stadium scene: Jayhawk faithful flood the field Bradley Cook Staff Reporter
as if their heart rate never went above 60. The Jayhawk faithful were eager. From the first hike of the game, the fans were seldom still. Every second that OSU was in possession of the ball, the Jayhawks yelled with every vocal cord they had, making 47,000 strong sound like 100,000. The efforts of the fans did not go to waste, as Kansas prevailed as victors. What went from small specks running onto the field, turned into a sea of royal blue at midfield. Kansas stormed the field. Fans sprinting to celebrate their big win with the players. The Marching Jayhawks quickly picked up their instruments, as the fans, players and coaches huddled together to sing their alma mater one last time.
A cool and steady breeze wasn’t the only thing that filled the air in David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium. Twenty minutes before kickoff, Kansas fans put their arms around each other to sing their alma mater and soon after followed with passionate chants of “Rock Chalk Jayhawks” roaring from one side of the crowd to the other. The Marching Jayhawks Band stomped in unison from atop the hill as they made their way into the stadium. These were the sights and sounds of the Kansas Jayhawks welcoming in a ranked OSU team, and trying to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2008. Even though it was one of the biggest games that the Jayhawks have had in years, it seemed sports.ed@ocolly.com

OSU can breathe easy knowing there are no more Kansas teams on the schedule, but can they breathe easy about the remaining schedule? At one point, the Cowboys looked like the team to beat in the Big 12. Well, they have been beaten, three times.
This certainly puts a damper in the Big 12 title chances for the Cowboys. Here are the three takeaways from the Cowboys’ match in Lawrence. See Liability on page 3

The polls are open, and the ballots are being collected. Tuesday is going to be a big day for many Americans throughout the nation, as today is the midterm election which will decide who is controlling the Senate and the House of Representatives. Each state will also be voting for their new governor. For Oklahoma, Joy Hofmeister and Kevin Stitt are currently going toe to toe in the polls, and it is safe to say that the election could go either
way. Because of this, every single vote counts for both parties. Regardless of if you’re a Democrat, Republican, Independent or even undecided, it’s important to exercise your civic duty and vote in these elections. Although, to some students, it can be quite the daunting task. According to a study by Now.Tufts. edu, only 66% of college students registered to vote during the 2020 presidential election. It’s unsure whether that number will be up or down this year, but it is important to get as many people casting their votes as possible. Unfortunately, the deadline to register to vote has come and
gone. Because of that, if you are unregistered, voting may be out of the picture. This doesn’t mean you can’t contribute though, many polling places are asking for students or voters to volunteer to help keep the election process run smoothly. But if you are registered, and are confused as to what to do next, the next steps are quite simple. Firstly, check your voter ID card. It should have an address for where you will cast your ballot. Many students reported having their polling location at the OSU Foundation, which can be found on South Monroe Street. See Election on page 4
