Garth Brooks mixes old, new in youthful Tulsa performance Savannah Evanoff @Savannahevanoff
TULSA — On Friday, fans fled streets surrounding the BOK Center in Tulsa such as Low Places Lane, Thunder Rolls Road and Shameless Boulevard to attend the opening night of a long awaited series of concerts by country music’s best selling artist of all time. None other than the beloved Oklahoma native and OSU alumnus, Garth Brooks. The BOK Center temporarily renamed the streets surrounding the venue after four of Brooks’ hit songs, as a way of both honoring Brooks and his Oklahoma roots and celebrating his seven-concert series in Tulsa. Before Brooks took the stage, he smoothed over the audience of a sold-out show by opening with singer/ songwriter Karyn Rochelle, whose sweet personality and southern voice immediately won over the crowd. Trisha Yearwood, Brooks’ wife and fellow country singer, gushed over Rochelle many times during the earlier press conference and
Garth Brooks’ Friday night show was the first of seven shows he is putting on as part of his World Tour.
show. Rochelle even wrote some of the songs Yearwood performed. “I’m a big fan, she’s amazing,” Yearwood said. After the opening performance, the letter “g” flickered around a large screen center stage for a while before it suddenly began having uncontrollable glitches. A robotic voice began to reverberate in the background repeating the phrase, “Humans do not be alarmed, the machines are in control.” The voice undoubtedly foreshadowed the opening title song from Brooks’ newest album “Man Against
Machine,” though Brooks quickly abandoned the theme and began playing old favorites. Brooks kicked off his concert with a slew of upbeat songs carried out in a playful, childlike persona, as if he had just been released from some sort of cage not unlike the circular, lit up cage surrounding the drummer all evening. He repeatedly taunted the crowd, questioning its ability to stay at such a quick musical pace. “Some of you aren’t as young as the last time I saw you,” Brooks said. “I’m a little worried about you.”
Brooks’ liveliness never ceased up and neither did the crowd’s. Brooks fed off its energy, pouncing around stage beginning to end for an almost three-hour performance, making everyone’s travels, spent money and difficulty parking worth the 17-year wait. Halfway through his performance, Brooks welcomed his wife to stage, who had revealed earlier that Brooks often refers to her as “The Queen,” though she considers herself to be more an “Import Okie.” On stage, Yearwood nearly resembled royalty with her

powerful vocals and strong presence while singing hits like “Prizefighter” and the LeAnn Rimes original, “How Do I Live?” Although in the Friday press conference the couple described their life as normal and boring, it was hard to believe after seeing their onstage chemistry. In addition to Brooks’ energetic performance, the show featured several talented musicians including a show-stealing fiddler, a large-screen video feed including clips from Yearwood’s cooking show and a touching moment
between Brooks and Special Olympian Nathan Putnam, who gave Brooks his medals as a gift. After belting out all of his greatest hits, including OSU favorite “Friends in Low Places,” the powerful song “Shameless” and “The Thunder Rolls” accompanied by rain and thunder stage effects, Brooks ended his performance bent over, sweat dripping and cowboy hat in hand. “I’m getting too old for this,” Brooks said. These words never sounded so ironic to an audience of die-hard fans who had just witnessed a performance that was downright youthful. “Garth knows how to have a good time, and he makes sure you have a good time as well,” said Chance Dyess, an engineering senior at Oklahoma State who attended the first performance. The excitement-filled opening night of Brooks’ series of Tulsa concerts truly showed his love, pride and appreciation for Brooks’ Oklahoma fans. “Thanks for letting us come back to the greatest state, Oklahoma,” Brooks said. news@ocolly.com

Iowa gains early momentum to hand Cowboys 30-7 home loss Dekota Gregory @dekotagregory
Oklahoma State’s Dean Heil held a 5-4 lead with 33 seconds left in his match at 141 pounds, but in a quick turn of events, Iowa’s Josh Dziewa turned Heil onto his back for the pin. The fall extended the Hawkeyes’ lead to 13-0 and silenced the Gallagher-Iba Arena crowd. Heil came out firing in the match, snatching a 5-1 lead after the first period. The contest began with a Heil takedown, and after an escape by Dziewa, Heil scored another takedown and a penalty point to end
the period. Heil was flat the remainder of the match, and Dziewa picked up three points in the final frame before the fall. “You can go back to youth, but every time you go back to youth and talk about youth with Dean Heil, you just give him more reason to not perform,” OSU coach John Smith said. “When it came down to it, he got a little bit sideways with a tough match and didn’t know how to react when it was critical.” Heil’s loss gave the Hawkeyes momentum, and two more defeats followed at 149 and 157 pounds by Josh Kindig and Anthony Collica, respectively. The
Cowboys also dropped the first two matches of the dual at 125 and 133 pounds. “Lose three straight matches, then Kindig gets up and loses, and Collica gets up and loses, (the fans)
will get quiet,” Smith said. “We didn’t really give them a reason to cheer.” After beginning the dual with five losses, OSU could not overcome the 19-0 hole and ended up receiv-

ing its worst home loss to Iowa in school history. The loss was also the Cowboys’ largest margin of defeat at Gallagher-Iba Arena since a 38-7 loss to Penn State in 1993. “That’s the gap right now between, definitely, Iowa and Oklahoma State,” Smith said. “There’s a reason why they’re ranked No. 1.” Oklahoma State did not show much fight Sunday, but freshman Gary Wayne Harding tried to show some life at 133 pounds, making his collegiate dual debut against No. 5 Cory Clark. Harding received a 10-5 loss but fought hard, scoring three escapes in the match, including two in the first period, against
a national championship contender. “Right now he’s just a little bit over-classed,” Smith said. “Hopefully we can get that gap closed a little bit for him where he can be competitive at the end.” sports@ocolly.com Up Next vs. Against: West Virginia When: Friday at 7 p.m. Where: Gallagher-Iba Arena

Rudolph’s bright future reflects that of Cowboys Nathan Ruiz @NathanSRuiz The Cowboys are a changed team, Mike Gundy is a changed man, and it all started with a change at quarterback. True freshman quarterback Mason Rudolph took over for a supposedly concussed Daxx Garman prior to Oklahoma State’s penultimate regular season game against Baylor. Though OSU fell 49-28, Rudolph breathed life into an offense that had scored 40 points over its previous four games. Still, Gundy was on edge. His Cowboys had lost five straight games. Rumors swirled that he would leave Stillwater to take another coaching job. After the loss to Baylor, Gundy refused to name Rudolph the starter for the Cowboys’ regular season finale against rival Oklahoma. All of Gundy’s stress came to a head in a press conference the following week, when he responded to questions with “I won’t talk about this” or “We won’t discuss that.” Frustration had boiled over for all sides. “I didn’t have an answer for (the media),” Gundy said after OSU’s 30-22 Cactus Bowl victory. “Didn’t have an answer for anybody, and at times, I didn’t feel like I had an answer for the team. That really frustrated me.” Then, Rudolph guided the Cowboys to a 38-35 overtime victory against the Sooners, propelling his

team to a ninth-straight bowl game. He threw for 273 yards with a pair of touchdowns in the Bedlam victory. After the game, Gundy answered all of the media’s questions with in-depth answers and guaranteed a strong commitment to OSU. He also broke one of his personal rules by allowing first-year players Rudolph and Tyreek Hill meet with the media. Gundy has shown more personality and been more open since the Bedlam victory. It’s amazing what a couple of wins — and a new face of the program — can do for a coach’s

morale. When it comes down to it, Rudolph was the hero of OSU’s season. His debut got the fan base excited for Cowboy football again, an excitement that will likely continue to be seen during Rudolph’s tenure in Stillwater. Interestingly, until Garman went down, it was expected that Rudolph wouldn’t play this season. It seemed the 6-foot-4, 217-pound South Carolinian would redshirt in 2014 before competing with Garman and J.W. Walsh for the starting job in 2015. Well, competition over.
Rudolph grabbed the reins in his three starts, including the Cactus Bowl win. He threw two touchdown passes in the third-straight game while also posting career highs in passing yards (299) and completion percentage (65.4). “I honestly didn’t think a young quarterback like him would be able to come in and do the things he’s done, ” senior defensive tackle James Castleman said. “… He might be young but he definitely played like a senior.” Thankfully for the Cowboys, that’s not what Rudolph is. He and Gundy pointed out mistakes he
O’COLLY
made, understandable for a true freshman. But Rudolph’s future, like that of OSU with him at the helm, is bright. Rudolph is just a part of the dynamic team that will appear in Boone Pickens Stadium in 2015. Receiver James Washington made an incredible one-handed touchdown catch in the Cactus Bowl, his sixth score of the year. True freshman. Cornerback Ramon Richards struggled early after replacing Ashton Lampkin four games into the season, but Richards finished the year leading the team with three
interceptions, including a pick-six. True freshman. Defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah hunted down quarterbacks for a sack 11 times in 2014, linebacker Seth Jacobs was Cactus Bowl defensive player of the game and safety Jordan Sterns became the first OSU underclassman with 100 tackles since 1996. All three will be juniors next season. Other returning stars include cornerback Kevin Peterson, whose interception clinched the Cactus Bowl for OSU; receiver Brandon Sheperd, who hit the brakes for an incredible touchdown reception and led the Cowboys with 737 receiving yards; the always reliable David Glidden and his teamleading 42 receptions; and linebacker Ryan Simmons, who might take over as the leader of the OSU defense with Castleman’s graduation. The 2014 Cowboys didn’t do much to impact the Big 12 title race. The same won’t be said about the 2015 team. “We had a lot of young guys this year,” Rudolph said. “A lot of young guys on the defense that stepped up, took strides this year. “We’re all really looking forward to next year; having an incredible offseason; getting the guys bigger, faster, stronger; coming out in 2015 and making a statement.” It’s too bad we’ll have to wait until September to see what that statement will be. sports@ocolly.com PAGE 6
Scrappy play defines Cowboys Annice McEwan @annicemcewan
The roar inside Gallagher-Iba Arena is deafening when things happen for OSU, and things were happening Saturday night against Texas. The Cowboys’ 69-58 upset versus the No. 10 Longhorns brought fans to their feet in a series of gritty rebounds and hardfought shots that were something of a boxing match between the teams. It was an exciting game for OSU fans, but the way in which the Cowboys won should not have come as a surprise. The team’s style of play is what brought OSU within two points of Iowa State on the road, and what has defined the Cowboys since the season’s start. “There’s just a lot of scrappiness,” OSU coach Travis Ford said. “That’s what I said after the first week of practice. They’re just this scrappy little group.” As Ford pointed out, the Cowboys don’t boast Preseason All-Big 12 Up Next vs. Against: Kansas When: Tuesday at 6 p.m. Where: Lawrence, Kan. TV: ESPN2
Team selections or topranked recruits. Sure, they have lead scorers in Le’Bryan Nash and Phil Forte, but there’s no other viable staple in their offense. Instead, the team relies heavily on its defense. “We’re not just one of these teams that can lay back and rely on containment defense,” Ford said. “We’re a get-after-it defense. We try to make teams uncomfortable.”
Newberry and Tavarius Shine, accounted for 23 of the team’s points. It’s all a part of a selfless attitude that Forte said is keeping an OSU team that didn’t receive much preseason attention alive. “We’re just doing what we can to win the game and all the stats and everything, that’s something this team doesn’t really care about,” Forte said. “As long as we win, that’s all that matters at

Phil Forte (center) leads the Big 12 with 17.7 points per game.
OSU was successful in its attempt to make Texas uncomfortable. The Cowboys finished with seven blocks, four steals and 10 takeaways. Senior guard Anthony Hickey led the team with nine rebounds. At 5 feet 11 inches, Hickey doesn’t appear to be the biggest threat under the basket. “I give a lot of my other guys credit,” Hickey said. “They box out and I maybe sneak in there and get rebounds.” Hickey can downplay his success, but his play continues to garner more attention. Even with Forte and Nash leading the way to the basket, Hickey and other new faces, like Jeff

this point. We’re each trying to do our role and do what we can to win the game.” OSU is halfway through a midseason stretch that includes two away games against Kansas and Oklahoma. And even though the Cowboys have started stronger than most expected, Ford said he doesn’t want his team to hear the praises. “They play as if they maybe have something to prove, and that’s not always bad,” Ford said. “Playing with a little bit of fear (of losing), that’s not always bad.” sports@ocolly.com O’COLLY

@OColly Sunday was not a good day for Oklahoma State. The top-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes dominated all phases of the dual and earned their largest victory at Gallagher-Iba Arena, winning 30-7. Despite the Cowboys’ woes, there was one bright spot because of No. 15 Nolan Boyd at 184 pounds. Boyd faced early adversity in his match against No. 7 Sammy Brooks but rallied to pull off the upset. Before Boyd’s match, Gallagher-Iba was quiet enough to hear a pin drop. All life had been sucked out of the arena. The Cowboys found themselves down 24-4, leaving fans nothing to cheer about. Then came time for Boyd’s bout. Both wrestlers got a feel for one another during the match’s opening stages. Near the middle of the first period, Boyd hit a single-leg shot and pinned Brooks’ leg between his thighs. In an attempt to secure higher leverage, Boyd lost the leg and was caught standing straight up. Now out of position, Brooks hit a single leg of his own and earned a takedown. Things got worse in the early second period. Brooks gained an early escape and takedown. Boyd then attempted to throw Brooks to his back while standing up. Instead, Boyd mistimed the throw and landed on his back but somehow rolled to his stomach without giving up any nearfall points. Boyd almost got put to his back

again when Brooks nearly completed a successful “Peterson pinhold.” In the final minute of the second period, Boyd earned an escape. The match then shifted gears. Boyd pushed Brooks to the edge of the mat and suckered him back in before executing an inside-trip throw that put Brooks on his back. The arena erupted, and the building finally had an electric atmosphere. Time ran out before Boyd could secure the pin, but he picked up a takedown and a threepoint nearfall instead. Boyd led 6-5 heading into the third, but Brooks had the riding-time advantage. Boyd quickly earned an escape, and the two traded blows before Boyd shot a single leg. The two scrambled around, attempting to gain leverage. Finally, Boyd got top leverage and used a leg drag to secure both a takedown and a 9-6

decision victory. “We were both out there taking risks,” Boyd said. “He went for an inside trip. He went for a belly to belly, and I went for an inside-leg wrap throw. “We were just kind of out there going for it. When you go, things happen and they happened in my favor this time. We’ll see each other again.” Last season, Boyd was up and down all year. He barely snuck into the NCAA tournament and finished the year by going two-andout. This season looks much brighter for Boyd. After being named this year’s Outstanding Wrestler of the Reno Tournament of Champions and pulling a come-from-behind upset of a top-10 opponent, Boyd is red hot and poised to finish the season as an AllAmerican. sports@ocolly.com
