“Man, my heart’s beating kind of fast,” he said. “I can’t really breathe.”

Mabin underwent several tests. All came back negative. He resumed normal activities and redshirted that year.

After a redshirt season, Mabin prepared to see the field when the season kicked off. But, before the first whistle blew, Mabin’s mother, Tammy, suffered a stroke and fell into a coma in July. Mabin dropped out of his summer classes and spent a week sleeping by his mother in the hospital waiting for her to wake up. July 15, 2015, Tammy died.

“She always taught me to never feel pity for myself and raised me with tremendous faith in God,” Mabin

said. “I went back to school with the mission to honor her on the field and in the classroom.”

In a season dedicated to his mother, Mabin played in five games as a redshirt freshman. Entering this season, Mabin was the only player listed on the depth chart behind Chad Whitener at middle linebacker.

As Mabin prepared for his opportunity, tragedy struck during the offseason again. This time, for Cowboy basketball.

July 21, Tyrek Coger collapsed during team workouts at Boone Pickens Stadium.

He was later pronounced dead at Stillwater Medical Center because of an enlarged heart. Coger had been in Stillwater for only 16 days after transferring from Cape

Fear Community College.

“My heart was very heavy for Tyrek and his family,” Mabin said. “I had seen him around the stadium and the training table. He just looked like a new guy ready to make his mark in the world and just have fun. Just to go out like he did, just working out, doing something he loved, I felt very heavy for him.”

The tragedy sparked OSU to take another look at its athletes’ health records. Any athlete that had mentioned a heart problem in the past was tested again, including Mabin.

The incident is what prompted the test that found that Mabin’s heart problem from two years earlier had worsened.

“It’s kind of like a secret blessing,” Mabin said. “I’m

glad that they took the preventative measures after his passing.

“Just the fact that he did pass and they did go back and check it, I’m very blessed they caught it.”

years early.”

Saturday, Mabin watched.

To still be involved with the team, he hosted visiting recruits at the Cowboys’ season opener against Southeastern Louisiana. Recruits watched OSU thump the ‘A broad horizon’ Lions 61-7 and dreamed Hypertrophic cardiomyop- about their futures. Mabin athy ended Mabin’s football saw the past. career, but not his life.

Bundage’s curiosity a spark for the true freshman BY nathan ru iz edi to r-in -chie f

If Calvin Bundage isn’t asking a question, he probably isn’t talking.

At least that’s the impression Bundage, a true freshman linebacker, has left on his Oklahoma State teammates. Others in the Cowboys’ crop of linebackers hear him incessantly ask questions, informally expressing his desires to get better. Those on the outside, though, aren’t sure he knows how to speak.

“He just looks at you,” safety Tre Flowers said.

“You’d think he’s crazy or something.”

Bundage, from Sante Fe

High School in Edmond, has peppered OSU defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer with inquiries.

Spencer takes it as a sign of Bundage’s will to improve.

“He wants to be good,” Spencer said. “You like when they ask questions ’cause you know they know their job is paramount assignmentwise first. It doesn’t matter what kind of player you are if you’re not reliable and accountable to be where you’re supposed to be and to be disciplined in your assignment. He realizes that.”

Bundage, who was unavailable to the media as a first-year player, is one of the Cowboys’ star linebackers, a

Cowboys pursued Bundage so passionately in recruiting.

He has a projectable 6-foot2, 193-pound frame and had three tackles in his OSU debut against Southeastern Louisiana.

“Calvin has a high ceiling,” Burton said. “He’s figuring jake Derichsweiler/O’COLLY out a lot of stuff that most Calvin Bundage joins Mike Gundy (left) for the alma mater. freshmen don’t figure out really fast.

where he was afraid to ask questions, he said, adding the improved understanding will benefit Bundage later in his career.

Considering who Bundage asks the questions, he’s primed for success.

“Spencer’s a great teacher,” Burton said. “I think if you combine that with Calvin’s ceiling and everything he’s able to do, the sky’s the limit.”

CAMPUS SAFETY

OSU Environmental Health and Safety Hosts Open House

Insider

From OSU Communications

BY CATHERINE WILSON Oklahoma State University’s Environmental Health Safety Department (EHS) hosted an open house this week to introduce the campus to its recent restructuring.

Established in 1954, EHS primarily focused on fire safety. When Tolga Durak, director of EHS, joined the department in 2014, he wanted to broaden the focus of EHS. “With the growing demands and needs of academia and research, we wanted to make sure we provide equal emphasis to all programs,” Durak said. “We want to field and facilitate teaching and research opportunities, but also ensure people are protected adequately.”

Now, EHS works to provide equal emphasis to all departments, regulating compliance procedures and ensuring students and employees work in a safe environment. For Durak, one of the top priorities was restructuring laboratory safety.

“We are not compliance police, nor do we want to be,” Durak said. “Our main mission is to make sure everyone is afforded a safe and healthful environment. We work with people, make sure they achieve these goals, and compliance is a very positive by-product of the efforts.”

The OSU Police Department has ongoing working relationships with Stillwater, county, state and federal law enforcement agencies.

The EOC is well equipped with all the tools needed to monitor emergency situations and help keep our students, employees and visitors safe on a daily basis and during times of crisis.

Marlo Zoller and OSU will face ACU and UTSA.

Wildcats’ leading scorer, Natalie Thornberry, has two goals and one assist this season.

UTSA (3-2) lost its last

match on the road at Stephen F. Austin, 3-2. The Roadrunners’ three leading scorers, Jordyn Lacy, Kaja Skare and Katieann Lochte each have three goals.

After losses against UCF and Florida, Carmichael said he wishes the Cowgirls could have played Monday to get the taste out of their mouths.

But with such a quick turnaround anyway, there wasn’t time to dwell on the losses.

“I think the great thing about sports is you just move onto the next one,” Carmichael said. “Whether you win a big game or lose a game, you don’t have time to pout. You don’t have time to celebrate.

“Our goal this weekend is obviously to play well, but we need to get a couple solid wins.”

After playing substantial minutes in both matches this past weekend, freshman defender Claire Gantzer said the biggest challenge for the Cowgirls defensively is keeping a strong mentality.

“Just knowing that we are a good team defensively,” Gantzer said. “We just have to not think about last weekend. And get our feet under us and know that we can do it if we all work as a team.”

Although it is relatively early in her collegiate career, Gantzer said this is one of the best teams she has been

a part of. She said initially it was difficult to adapt to playing with older girls and a different style of play, but now she is finding her groove.

“It’s been difficult, but it’s not impossible,” Gantzer said. “I think the coaches and the older girls do a really good job of easing us into it and giving us encouragement when we need it.”
