This is great local bourbon. The bottle is awesome and it sports Oklahoma’s lovely state bird, great for displaying once you’re done enjoying what’s inside. It’s smooth and smoky, and I love mixing it with root beer. Plus, you’re supporting a state distillery and that always brings the warm and fuzzies.

It’s cold, really cold, and there is nothing better to warm you up than a nice glass of whiskey or bourbon. These are just a few of my favorites. They are great by themselves but also excellent for a good whiskey mixed drink like an Old Fashioned or Whiskey Sour. I’ll admit this isn’t the most budget friendly article I’ve done, but if you just keep some of this around it’s great to sip on. So cozy up with your toughest final study guide and sip on one of these. It’ll warm your body and soul.
Bulleit Bourbon
I love this brand. The aromas hit you as soon as you open the bottle; it’s not quite as smooth as a single barrel bourbon, but it goes down as easy as honey. In fact, this is my favorite bourbon to use for Hot Totties, which have honey, so that’s nice.
Jameson
This is the best on the rocks, or in Irish breakfast shots. However, if you’re buying something this good then you should be happy with drinking it straight, or even slightly watered down. It’s smooth, sweet and iconic. Everyone should love Jameson. And if you don’t yet, you should learn to.
O’COLLY WEEKEND EDITION
Any Single Barrel bourbon
Yeah, this is broad. I’m telling you that you can’t go wrong here; any one that you try will change the way you look at bourbon. It’s smoother, more woody and often times there is a higher alcohol content without the alcohol burn. This is the way to go, especially if it’s locally made.

Paddle People push limits with Big 12 Nathan Ruiz @NathanSRuiz As fans stand huddled by the gates of Boone Pickens Stadium for a few hours, hiding from the icy winds and freezing cold, 250 students will have done the same for three days — voluntarily. They are the Paddle People, arguably the most recognizable fan group in the Big 12 and one of the tops in the nation. When the Oklahoma State football team takes on the Texas Longhorns on Saturday with bowleligibility on the line, one sound will echo through the stadium. “Pow, pow, pow!” defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah said. “The hit, that just gets my mind ready. I get hyped off of hearing that.” Now sitting at 250 strong, the Paddle People cause opposing offenses to cringe. The Longhorns won’t only have to deal with the weather — Saturday’s high is 45 degrees with a chance of snow

— but also the incessant banging on the walls of Boone Pickens Stadium. “Incessant” used to be a more accurate description of the Paddle People’s assault. Prior to 2012, the “Pow!” Ogbah mentioned never stopped. There was nothing stopping the Paddle People from pounding
through plays until blisters were all that was left of their palms, and even then they wouldn’t stop. But a Big 12 rule put in place in the middle of the 2012 season, just before the Cowboys’ matchup with Texas that year, banned artificial noisemakers from stadiums.
Wednesday All You Can Bowl
OSU athletic director Mike Holder argued that existing traditions, such as the Paddle People, who have been around since the late 1990s, should be permitted to stay. “They wanted to make exceptions for university traditions,” Big 12 Assistant Comissioner,
Communications Bob Burda said. “That’s a longstanding Oklahoma State tradition.” Holder’s request was granted, but the Paddle People were forced to change their methods. No more paddling through plays. No artificial noise when the quar-
terback was under center. It altered everything the Paddle People were about. “When we first changed, it was just kind of a culture shock,” Paddle People president Graham Coffelt said. “Everything kind of just changed on the fly. That was a little different, but after a couple years of doing this, it’s gotten better.” The rule is that no paddling or music is allowed while the offense is as the line of scrimmage and especially not when the ball is in play. “It was directed toward artificial noisemakers,” Burda said. “We had policies in place in some sports, and in other sports, there were NCAA policies. We wanted consistent application for all Big 12 sponsored sports for which the NCAA rulebook was silent.” When the quarterback is under center, ready for the snap, Coffelt will throw his fist in the air, giving all paddlers three more pounds before they must stop.

Throughout the past 10 years, Christopher Nolan has become one of the most influential directors working today. With “Interstellar,” Nolan explores mankind’s reliance on Earth and its need to venture beyond our solar system. Although this is far from being his strongest film, it is definitely his most ambitious. With drought, famine, and extreme climate changes plaguing the earth, the sun is setting on the human race. When scientists discover a wormhole leading to potentially habitable worlds, though, a group of explorers rise to the occasion. This expedition is especially challenging for a former pilot named Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), for he has to choose between seeing his children again and ensuring that they have a future at all. The cast is perhaps “Interstellar’s” most consistently affective element. This film doesn’t work without McConaughey, who, thankfully, carries the proceedings with an endearing everyman quality. Anne Hathaway, too, is at the top of her game, even if the script occasionally mishandles her character. And although child actors tend to jarringly approach dialogue as if they’re adults, Mackenzie Foy sells it as Cooper’s daughter, Murph.
O’COLLY WEEKEND EDITION

Mackenzie Foy and Matthew McConaughey star as father and daughter in Christopher Nolan’s film “Interstellar.”
The standout for me, though, is Jessica Chastain, who is quickly becoming one of the most formidable actresses out there. Her shifts between resentment and affection make for a tough balancing act, but it more than pays off. I won’t say much about the characters themselves beyond that point, though, for the marketing shrouds much of that in mystery. The film’s comic relief, for instance, is excellent, but because he hasn’t spoken in the trailers, it wouldn’t feel right spoiling his identity. You’ll know him when you see him. Considering the brooding machismo that permeated his “Dark Knight” trilogy, “Interstellar” is easily Nolan’s most sentimental movie. The relationship between Cooper and Murph is the heart of the film. Although it’s more affective in some scenes than it is in others, I admire Nolan for being willing to stretch his wings. At this point, saying Hans Zimmer’s score is excellent seems redundant. As is often the case with his music, it’s intensely bombastic one minute and eerily unsettling
the next. The cinematography is gorgeous, both on earth and in the cosmos. A few of the film’s otherworldly shots in particular are hauntingly mesmerizing. A movie’s length doesn’t usually bother me. Because the plot is fairly repetitious, though, I definitely felt the 2 hours, 45 minutes runtime. A good 45 minutes could have been trimmed from this movie and it would’ve benefitted greatly. Unlike most of Nolan’s films, “Interstellar” often gets lost in its themes at the expense of the story. At the same time, though, the film’s biggest ideas aren’t properly explored. The third act — and the last few minutes, especially — will either heighten your appreciation for the movie or take you out of it. I enjoyed it, but it did feel strangely segregated from the rest of the film. “Interstellar” is a solid, if needlessly drawn out, film that represents a new step in Nolan’s career. It may not hit all the right notes, but at least he went there. news@ocolly.com PAGE 4
‘Birdman’ captures attention with visuals Miles Clements @MilesDailyMovie
“Birdman” is ambitious, and director Alejandro G. Inarritu’s impressive technical exhibition is only accentuated by Oscarworthy performances from Michael Keaton and Edward Norton. “Birdman” is simply a lot of fun. It’s satisfying to see Michael Keaton perform so brilliantly in 2014 in itself, but Inarritu’s unique vision is more than worthy of the film’s hype — he’s able to create the impression that the entire film was shot during one take. The ambitious nature of Inarritu’s technical showcase is paired with a captivating story about the human spirit that’s emotionally gratifying, erratic yet warm, and has a funny side that will sneak up on you. “Birdman” is a black comedy that literally follows Riggan (Keaton), a washed-up actor who earned his fame from starring in a superhero franchise decades earlier, and documents the days leading up to the premier of his Broadway play. The once iconic movie star must battle with his lingering ego while he attempts to repair his broken relationships, career and inevitably himself. Inarritu is close friends with “Gravity” director Alfonso Cuaron, and was able to partner with

cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki (who won a technical Oscar for “Gravity”). The end result is a sensational piece of cinematic magic. Flowing from narrow corridors to crowded New York streets, the camera’s lengthy tracking shots are captivating and an example of stylistically orchestrated filmmaking at its finest. Watching closely, an attentive viewer may be able to locate several instances where there may have been a cut, but doing so will take away much of the enjoyment the imaginative shooting provides. Falling for the magic is the whole point of going to the movies. Keaton’s involvement is obviously amusing. He’s an actor who “peaked” more than 20 years ago when he starred in Tim Burton’s “Batman,” much like Riggan. Keaton plays on this, toying with his real-life persona and the somewhat quiet career he’s had since going toe-to-toe with The Joker. His performance is hyper-active and full of

emotion, and at times made me question whether he’s acting — checking the ticket again to make sure I wasn’t watching a Keaton biopic. There is a sense of desperation in his character, visibly building up and weighing on Riggan’s psyche as the play’s premier quickly approaches. Edward Norton also toys with his real-life reputation of being demanding and difficult on set. His character, Mike Shiner, is Riggan’s co-star and stepped in after an actor was injured during rehearsals. Norton’s performance is calm but electrifying, finding the right balance between pretension and candidness. For those who enjoy an extravagantly hypnotic visual experience, “Birdman” is more than satisfactory. The compelling nature of the acting core, paired with the exhilarating movie magic makes “Birdman” one of the more intellectually satisfying movies of 2014. news@ocolly.com O’COLLY WEEKEND EDITION

Bowl or no bowl? Does it matter? Cody Stavenhagen
@CodyStavenhagen
For the first time since Mike Gundy’s first season as coach at Oklahoma State, the Cowboys are in serious jeopardy of missing a bowl game. How big of a deal is that? It might depend on whom you ask. “That’s always a focus around here,” receiver David Glidden said. “Playing in the postseason is what it’s all about. You want to get to a bowl game and have an extra chance to go play and compete at the end of the year.” OSU enters Saturday’s matchup against Texas with a 5-4 record. It needs a sixth
win to become bowl eligible. After Texas, the Cowboys face No. 6 Baylor and Oklahoma. So Saturday could be its best or — depending on how you look at it — last chance. “The only thing we need to worry about is the next game,” OSU coach Mike Gundy said two weeks ago. “For us to worry about trying to get bowl eligible more than the next game, it all kind of ties in together. If you win the next game, then you’re bowl eligible.” To state the obvious, there’s no doubt players want to go to a bowl game. But given that OSU has the nation’s 11th-longest streak of consecutive bowl appearances (eight), history and
legacy are also part of the conversation. “It’s definitely a known thing,” Glidden said. “The older guys have preached it and they know about it, so it’s known, it’s been brought up and it’s a streak you definitely want to keep alive.” Some players, like tight end/fullback Jeremy Seaton, aren’t so up-front. “It’s an awesome tradition that we’ve started,” Seaton said. “Thinking about it, I’m not really too worried about it right now. We’re just focused on the team we’re coming to play. We’re focused on Texas right now. We’re not looking past that. We’re not focused on bowl games.” So is that not motivation? “I’d say it can be motiva-
tion, but we already have a drive inside of us where we want to win,” Seaton said. “Saying that drive is coming from a bowl game would not be correct. “I don’t really think about (the streak).” Redshirt freshman Tre Flowers contradicted Glidden, saying it’s not something the team actively discusses. “We don’t really talk about it a lot, but it’s been brought up before,” Flowers said. “It’s just a game we’ve got to get over with, and Texas is a team we’re trying to beat.” Flowers, though, remembered his experience in last season’s AT&T Cotton Bowl and said he takes pride in OSU’s bowl streak. “Last year it was real

It’s Senior Day. It’s against Texas. It’s primetime on national television. Bowl eligibility on the line. Oh yeah, the whole Joe Wickline thing, too. Lots of intrigue here. But none of that stuff tackles or scores touchdowns. Cowboys have to focus on the issue at hand, and that’s Texas.
Rollin’ Roland
The Cowboys should be helped by running back Desmond Roland’s return. He hasn’t had the season he and the coaching staff imagined. But he is still a bruiser between the tackles and capable of breaking a big run. Roland is healthy and could have a big game.
Best Be Ready
This is the most important game of the season, and the coaches had two weeks to prepare. There is no excuse for being outcoached this game. This is OSU’s best chance to become bowl eligible for the ninth straight season, a school record. Pull out all the stops to make it happen.

Some elements of the transformation are more obvious than others. For example, the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology’s Student Excellence Center, Anne and Michael Greenwood Tennis Center and OSUIT’s Chesapeake Energy Natural Gas Compression Training Center are examples of new facilities constructed during the campaign. Still to come are a new home for the Spears School of Business, a OSU President Burns Hargis is joined by alumnus and top donor Boone Pickens, First Cowgirl Ann Hargis, and campaign chairs and OSU graduates Billie and Ross McKnight for the launch of the $1 billion Branding Success campaign in February of 2010. The campaign reached its fundraising goal nearly two years ahead of time and will celebrate the historic accomplishment with Cowboy fans during halftime of the OSU/Texas game Saturday night. If weather permits the festivities will include a pyrotechnics show.
The campaign ends December 31 after raising approximately $1.2 billion in seven years to support four priorities: students, faculty, facilities and programs. Half of the $1 billion goal was dedicated to student support. “Oklahoma State alumni and friends have transformed our university during Branding Success,” said OSU President Burns Hargis. “More than 100,000 people

Also obvious to most visitors is the renewed focus on landscaping and campus beautification. Donors have made it possible to create some of the new gardens and other features now seen around campus. Not so obvious are the scholarship funds benefitting current and future students. More than 1,100 scholarships funds have been created during the campaign, which equals thousands of new annual scholarships since the funds often benefit more than one student. Also, more than 135 endowed faculty positions have been created during the campaign and new academic programs and centers have launched to help students succeed. While major donors made a tremendous difference in the campaign’s success, a little-known fact is that 57 percent of gifts to OSU are $100 or less and 43 percent are $50 or less. “We can never forget about donors who give annually to OSU and help sustain the momentum we’ve achieved through the campaign,” said Kirk Jewell, president of

Fewer than 50 public universities have accomplished the task. For more information on how you can make an impact during the final days of the campaign, visit OSUgiving.com. The campaign’s success will be celebrated during Saturday’s last home football game of the season.

Senior Day brings emotion, motivation to Texas game Annice McEwan @annicemcewan
Saturday marks the final game at Boone Pickens Stadium for 18 players on OSU’s football roster. For most of the season, the attention has been focused on the team’s youth and the talented, yet inexperienced group of underclassman. But this year’s relatively small senior class made key contributions in all phases of the game. Senior punter Kip Smith has a 40.3 net punt average and was named a Ray Guy Award Candidate in late October. Fellow special teams player Elliot Jeffcoat, once an OSU walk-on, had a kickoff recovery against Iowa State that undeniably shifted the game’s momentum. And OSU’s offense, with just three senior starters, will have to fill the offensive holes on the left side of the line where Chris Grisby and Daniel Koenig will no longer be. Cowboys coach Mike Gundy said the ceremonial and inevitable senior night has always been difficult for him. “It’s one of the few times or days or moments during the year that actually affects me emotionally,” Gundy said. “Most of everything else that we
do, or I do, is pretty much routine. I’ve been doing this for 25 years. But to have players that have committed themselves and paid the price, and gone through everything it takes to be a college football player, to see those guys leave is hard at times.” OSU defensive coordinator Glenn Spencer echoed Gundy’s thoughts. With seniors James Castleman, Ofa Hautau and Sam Wren as defensive lineman, Spencer said the team will miss their leadership. “Well we’ve got a solid bunch there,” Spencer said. “It starts with the two guys inside, James and Ofa … Those are two strong individuals, good players, (and) strong personalities that have provided good leadership upfront, along with Sam.” Sophomore defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah said the tight-knit defensive line will lose more than just playmakers when the seniors leave. “I mean, we’re going to miss a lot from them,” Ogbah said. “James is an athlete and Ofa is a ball player. “We’re going to miss them because they’re defensive lineman and we’re real close.” Perhaps the hardest goodbye for the defense will be to senior safety Larry Stephens, who hasn’t played since suffer-

ing a left Achilles injury against Texas Tech. “Larry, you know, it’s a shame because I’m sure he hasn’t had the senior year that he wanted, that none of us wanted out of him,” Spencer said. “I hurt for him because of that and hopefully here in the end he can come back and help us out.” Redshirt freshman Tre Flowers has taken over Stephens’ starting role but says the game against Texas will be a chance to give back to the senior who mentored him in his first year. “(Stephens) gave us a lot of experience,” Flowers said. “He helps us out a lot. Without him, it would have been a lot different this year. He helped us out a lot so I want to send him out on a good note.” The need to snag a win this weekend is a theme among the players. Many said they want to win more for the departing senior class than for themselves. Junior wide receiver

Ofa Hautau, who has made a big impact on the defensive line, is one of 18 seniors on the roster.
David Glidden said beating Texas, which would give the team the sixth win needed to be bowl eligible, is an added pressure for the team. “When a day comes around like this, anytime

there’s a senior day, it’s one of those things that gives you just an extra little motive to play for,” Glidden said. “You got to respect the seniors, those guys that have been around here a long time. When there’s a big game like this coming down at the end of the year with postseason implications, you got the older guys fighting to play in the postseason, it’s one of those things you don’t want to let those guys down.” Before kickoff, the seniors will enter the stadium to join their family or friends in one last ap-
pearance in front of their home crowd. The impending game will likely be on their minds, but Gundy said he hopes they realize their lives extend far beyond the field. “It’s like always,” Gundy said. “It’s hard to see the guys go … Hopefully the time they’ve spent here with us has prepared them to go out there and contribute to society, and do things that makes them happy, and come back on homecoming and be glad they came to Oklahoma State.” sports@ocolly.com PAGE 10
Paddle: 250 students compose paddle people, one of the nation’s most recognizable fan groups. From Page 3 drumming to their own beat or simply not able to see Coffelt, a problem he has tried to correct by changing his seat and having two other members throw up fists. The first time the Paddle People aren’t able to follow the rule, they can receive a sideline warning, which has yet to happen since the rule’s implementation, Coffelt said. If the issue continues, the Cowboys will have a 15-yard penalty against
them. With the effort Holder and the athletic department went through to save their home-field advantage in 2012, Coffelt is hopeful that if that penalty were ever assessed, that the Paddle People would survive. Still, he’d understand if they were punished. “I think if that happened, we’d deserve to be reprimanded,” he said. “I don’t think we should just come off scot-free. It would be a reflective of me and the exec team, and I would want to make sure that it gets rectified.” If fans have watched the Paddle People throughout this season, they may have noticed, as the O’Colly did, the Paddle People are pushing that line. The paddling continues when

“I think people kind of realized this isn’t just messing around.”
He’s right — the Paddle People’s impact is serious. There’s no point in denying the effect Paddle People can have on an opposing offense. “I know anytime you mess with noise anywhere it’s disturbing,” receiver David Glidden said. “It’s actually really frustrating. Whether they say it is or it’s not or it doesn’t really affect them, I think it actually does. Whenever you hear that banging, the slapping on the wall, I think it’s something that really plays into effect.” That is the reason Holder saved his army of paddlers. Playing college football is hard enough; take away the ability to hear and success becomes near impossible. The Cowboys are 26-5 in Boone Pickens Stadium
since 2010. The tightness of the sidelines, mixed with the non-stop berating of the walls, creates a deadly atmosphere for visitors. Coffelt wants to make sure the Paddle People aren’t responsible for hurting the team and that atmosphere. “The guys on the field, they put all their work into perfecting their craft and making sure that they’re executing 100 percent,” Coffelt said. “We want to do the same. “You don’t want to bite the hand that feeds. … I love this school and I love the athletics that comes with it so much, it wouldn’t be something that I would want to see happen.” sports@ocolly.com

The tournament presents a familiar foe for the Cowgirls, having lost to Arizona 3-1 earlier in the season.

The Cowgirls were an injury-riddled shell of their current selves at that point in the season and the team is

not to let this good opportunity slip away, especially given 2013’s first-round loss to Arkansas. “This week’s practice has been a little more focused, they’ve been a lot more driven to do well in the tournament,” Carmichael said. “I think last year we were just happy to be there and I think this year there’s more of a focus. We get a reprieve where we get to play at home again so let’s make the most of it.” It is worth noting that the high in Tucson, Arizona, for Friday is a comfortable 77 degrees and partly cloudy, compared to the 40 degree temperature expected in Stillwater. The Cowgirls have been practicing in the cold weather all week,
which could end up giving the home team an advantage this weekend. “It’s about your mentality when it’s cold,” Carmichael said. “That’s what we’ve stressed all week is that you can’t control the weather, but you can control your mentality about it.” sports@ocolly.com Up Next vs. Against: Arizona When: Friday at 2 p.m. Where: Cowgirl Soccer Complex

Mandy Coleman and the Cowgirls won both exhibitions.
Following two convincing exhibition victories, the Oklahoma State Cowgirls open up the regular season Friday morning at 11 with a home game against Loyola Marymount, followed by a Sunday night matchup with Texas Southern. The Cowgirls come into the season ranked No. 21 in the country in the AP poll, but aren’t looking past these two opponents. Although games early on in the season often feature smaller nonconference opponents, they still hold great importance in building a good foundation
for the season resume. “They count and you’ve got a lot to lose,” OSU coach Jim Littell said. “If you drop a game to a mid-major or a low-major school it’s going to crush you (in) tournament time. When the committee looks at it, they’re looking for quality wins, but they’re also looking for bad losses.” This weekend features two opponents lacking bigname recognition. Although Loyola Marymount finished 9-21 last season, it was a young team that was very competitive all year, losing 10 games by four or fewer points and losing five by one or two points. “(Loyola was) on the verge of being very good, and they returned five of their top six scorers,” Littell said. “If
they’ve matured and have got the game experience, you can expect them to win a lot of those tight games this year.” OSU won’t overlook Texas Southern, either. The Lady Tigers, from the SWAC, had an impressive season in 2013-14, winning 22 games and coming just short of a conference championship. “(Texas Southern) returns all five starters so it’s going to be an experienced team that knows how to win,” Littell said. The players understand the importance of starting the season on the right foot and expect to continue to improve every game. “It’s very important because we don’t want to just go into a huge game and
not have any experience on the floor,” freshman Mandy Coleman said. The two exhibitions gave the Cowgirls some sense of where they are as a team and hope to make improvements on both ends of the floor. “Just based on those games we have a lot to work on,” junior guard Brittney Martin said. sports@ocolly.com Up Next vs. Against: Loyola Marymount When: Friday at 11 a.m. Where: Gallagher-Iba Arena

Bowl: the cowboys are in danger of missing a bowl game for the first time since 2005.
From Page 6 tradition here is being built, and we want to keep it alive. I want to be a part of it.” Becoming bowl eligible is also about more than
a game. It would give OSU about three weeks of extra practice — needed for a young team — and come with plenty of other benefits. “You get an extra month of practice when other guys are sitting at home,” Seaton said. “We get to come together, we get experience, get to go somewhere else, play in a different atmosphere and play against a team we probably wouldn’t
have gotten to play otherwise.” So how important is making a bowl game? Maybe it depends less on whom you ask and more on how many times you ask them. “It excites me a lot,” Flowers said. “I’m proud to be here and excited to play a bowl game, so we’ve got to get a win.” sports@ocolly.com
Solomon emerging in OSU post game Cody Stavenhagen @CodyStavenhagen
With senior center Michael Cobbins unavailable for Oklahoma State’s next three games, the Cowboys are in need of an answer in the post. OSU coach Travis Ford seems to think he’s found it, but not in any of the players you might think. Because Cobbins played a combined five minutes in two games his redshirt year, the NCAA ruled he had to sit out the first four games of this season, including OSU’s exhibition last week. The answer, though, likely isn’t the 7-foot-1 Anthony Allen, a junior college transfer known for his shot-blocking prowess. It’s also doesn’t seem to be Marek Soucek, a 7-foot senior who can shoot as well as he can play in the post. Instead, meet Mitchell Solomon, a 6-foot-9 freshman from Bixby who
might have come from nowhere to steal a starting spot in OSU’s season opener Friday at 7 p.m. against Southeastern Louisiana. “I’m seeing incredible progression, and he’ll be rewarded for it,” Ford said. Solomon wowed teammates with a putback dunk in practice this week, and Ford said he has improved his athleticism vastly since arriving in Stillwater. “I’ve seen a different guy that last three or four days,” Ford said. “I really like what I see. Great progression, great understanding. What I’ve seen mostly is his athletic ability rising, and he’s able to play to his athletic ability rather than thinking.” Beyond that, Solomon plays defense at an advanced level. “He’s as far along as any freshman I’ve ever coached as far as a big man,” Ford said. “The best I’ve coached, by far.” Will he actually start? “We’ll see,” Ford said.
