Floating into homecoming Tuesday, November 2, 2021
Oklahoma State University students present floats Mak Vandruff Staff Reporter

Oklahoma State and community organizations walked in the Sea of Orange Parade.
Oklahoma State’s Homecoming parade is filled with people from different organizations, but the floats from OSU have some special stories behind them. Madison Williams, who is on the Board of Directors (BOD) at Stout Hall, said they spent around three hours daily on the Stout float for the past two weeks. The BOD built it to represent Old Central, the home of the honor’s college, to represent their academic home. Throughout the years Stout has created a legacy to honor, Williams said, and they chose
to represent that with a skirt around the bottom edge of their float. “When we were down in the living room working on it we just had music playing and we were sharing life stories and really connecting with everyone,” Williams said. “So we really formed a tightly bonded group working on it.” All of the floats had a specific theme to fit with. The school, businesses, and other categories of floats had different criteria to follow. These floats are also part of a competition. Mckenna Case is one of the float judges and she said each float had to follow the theme of “parading through history.” To show off this theme, the University Commons
built a float representing the three spirit riders. Zane Trinidad, a member of the Commons BOD, said they worked on their float for a week. Trinidad said his favorite part of working on the float was putting it together and getting it in on time. Their float was meant to represent “a ride through time” in accordance with the theme. “We became engineers for the week,” Trinidad said. The floats are a staple of the homecoming parade and this year they represented all of the years of Homecomings OSU has had in the past. This homecoming was an opportunity to reminisce and make new memories. news.ed@ocolly.com

Starting on Main Street, Oklahoma State’s Sea of Orange Parade’s lineup included more than 140 entries of floats, signs and groups from Greek houses, residential halls, student organizations, to alumni and the Stillwater community. The annual parade was broadcasted live last weekend in Stillwater and presented an opportunity for community members to come together in celebration for OSU’s Centennial Homecoming celebration. For some, this year marks their first year of attending this parade. Many students who
have not experienced the Sea of Orange Parade gathered to watch this for the first time. “The parade is super cool, and I am really glad that it happens because the entire community can gather together in one area,” said Cameron Reichard, a mechanical engineering freshman. Reichard said he was glad to celebrate the 100th Homecoming celebration at the parade. Because it was his first Homecoming, it makes it more memorable. “Back home I was a part of our hometown parade because I was in our high school marching band,” said Kyle Bowser, an electrical engineering freshman. “So I know it takes a lot of effort to be part of and put together a parade. It is nice to be on the other side and just watch it happen.” Bowser said he was
glad to be participating in an event that is so important to the OSU and Stillwater community. “It’s early in the morning, but it’s nice to see everyone gather here together,” Bowser said. “Since (Homecoming) is really important to the school, it makes (this event) important to me.” Many people from all over Oklahoma join in to celebrate Homecoming. Summer Archer, is an Oral Roberts University (ORU) student, and her family are some of these individuals. “I personally go to ORU, but my family and I come to the OSU Homecoming events every year,” Archer said. “The parade is just how we start it off, and it is a good way for us to get in the spirit for the entirety of the day’s plans.” news.ed@ocolly.com

For the first game all year the Cowboys didn’t have to rely on the defense to hold off the opponents for the offense to catch up, but still the defense played its best game to date. It allowed just three points, none against the starters, just 143 total yards and only seven first downs. The popular phrase defense wins championships still has time to come true for the Cowboys with Knowles at the helm and the Cowboys with the chance at the conference championship.

Undersized and undervalued
Presley’s path to playing with brother Daniel Allen Staff Reporter In recruiting, size matters. For Oklahoma State commit Braylin Presley, he has experienced the difficulties of playing football at 5-foot-7. A 2019 Oklahoma Gatorade Player of the Year, Presley has 74 total touchdowns, and 4,892 total yards heading into his senior season; things only top players in the nation can relate to. Yet, Presley was only a three-star recruit in the 2022 class. “Being 5-foot-7 like absolutely has its challenges,” Bixby head coach Loren Montgomery said. “(Braylin) has put up numbers only the best in the nation put up. I was honestly baffled it took as long for him to get noticed as it did.” Presley currently holds offers from a plethora of power 5 programs. It wasn’t until November 2020 he picked up his first Power 5 offer from Oklahoma State. Memphis was the first school to offer him back in December 2019. Until August 2020, when he received an offer from New Mexico, Memphis was the only one he held. Presley and his coach both believe Bixby’s game against Booker T. Washington on Nov. 5, 2020, which aired on ESPN, was what put Presley on the recruiting map. “For me, that was a huge blessing,” Presley said. “(ESPN) could have gone anywhere, but they came here, to Bixby for our game against Booker T. Washington. So, that really helped initiate all the offers that came my way.” Bixby defeated Booker T. 70-21 on national television, improving to 8-0 on the season behind Presley’s 413 all purpose yards, and five total touchdowns. “You know I was super excited to get all the offers I got, especially Oklahoma State,” Presley said. “But ultimately I just wanted to get through the football season, and then enjoy everything that followed. I just didn’t want to get too caught up in the moment.” Braylin’s older brother, Brennan, is a sophomore wide receiver for the Cowboys. Many believed with Brennan already at OSU, Braylin joining him in Stillwater was destined to happen. However, according to Braylin, that wasn’t always the case. “Yeah, Oklahoma State has always been a place I wanted to play,” Presley said. “But I was honestly caught between them and Memphis for a while, and other schools. Memphis did a solid job with me. I mean, they were the first to offer me. I wouldn’t really say that I was always an Oklahoma State lock.” On April 21, Braylin committed to OSU, choosing the Cowboys over Nebraska, Tulsa, Kansas State, Texas Tech and Army. Braylin’s commitment to OSU signified a reunion for the Presley brothers. The two would be playing together, for the first time since 2018, when Brennan still played at Bixby. “I was very excited, and honestly pretty relieved once I finally committed to Oklahoma State,” Braylin said. “I think when I committed, (Brennan) was one of the first people to call me and congratulate me. Obviously, you know, he knew about it before it actually happened. So, you know he called me and talked to me, and it was a pretty cool feeling. It was a pretty cool moment for me to be honest. I was ecstatic.” To Braylin, he doesn’t care how many stars are on his profile by any recruiting site. He’s just happy to be able to have the opportunity to play college football next season. “(Whether) I’m a two-star, three-star, four-star, top 100 recruit, or even a five-star— I’m just happy to have the opportunity to play college football, let alone high school football,” Braylin said. Through times of adversity, Presley showed persistence, disregarding his overall ranking, lack of offers and the critics claiming he was too small to play Power 5 football. In the end, it all paid off with him earning a shot to play for a school he has always regarded at a high level. “I’m super excited to watch him next year and see how his career at Oklahoma State unfolds,” Montgomery said, “It’s really going to be fun to see them play together again at the next level. Nobody was as thrilled as our coaching staff here at Bixby, to watch Brennan break out the way he did against Miami at the end of last year in the Cheez-It Bowl. We take pride in all of our guys that come out of here, and I look forward to watching them lead Oklahoma State’s offense the way they were able to here at Bixby.” sports.ed@ocolly.com

WORSHIP THE LORD WITH GLADNESS! “Worship the Lord with gladness. Come before him, singing with joy. Acknowledge that the Lord is God! He made us and we are his. We are his people, the sheep of his pasture. For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation.” (Ps.100:2-3,5 NLT)
Two weeks ago I shared that worship is to “fall down before, pay homage, to serve.” This becomes more exciting as we get to know him better. This is one reason for the Bible; knowing God! This portion above tells us “to acknowledge” that the Lord is God. This is not just a teaching, but something to do! He created us and we are his. What a truth! All people belong to him because he created us. We need to acknowledge this. Fall down. humble ourselves, tell him so. Why? Because he is good. His love never fails; His faithfulness is available to every generation. God is a great God! He is worthy of glad worship!
Look at David’s prayer and exaltation of God. “Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise your glorious name.” (1Chr.29:11-13 NIV)
Bow down and serve God and his Christ. All belong to him. Through Christ, God will share his glory with those who trust, bow down and gladly serve Him. His unfailing love and faithfulness are ours in Christ. Let’s go for his best!

Deep dive: Cowboys dominated Jayhawks in yardage, turnovers
Habbie Colen
Sudeep Tumma Staff Reporter Deep dive goes beyond the stat sheet and takes a look at the film to evaluate how OSU won/lost the game. The Cowboys’ first seven games were decided by 11 or fewer points. Then they played Kansas. Oklahoma State dominated Kansas all the way with little resistance. The end result was a 55-3 victory.
Forcing three turnovers Kansas was clearly outmatched, but any hope of KU trying to establish the run and play a ball-control approach was squandered, in part due to the three turnovers OSU forced. All of those were interceptions that stole momentum and put the Cowboys in the driver’s seat to win this game. OSU put up points off all three INTs. Winning the TOP battle While it was highly unlikely KU kept this game close, its one hope was to win the time of possession game. And hope for some OSU blunders. But the Cowboys did an excellent job neutralizing that approach and shutting down the run game early, which melted KU’s chances of using the run game to control this
matchup. KU had zero first downs in the first half. Holding KU to 0-13 on third downs There’s a reason OSU boasted the best third-down defense in the country last year. It’s a nice blend of talent and scheme. Defensive coordinator Jim Knowles does a splendid job of disguising coverages, drawing up blitzes, etc. and those playmakers go and make plays. OSU’s defense left no doubt by getting KU off the field when it was third down, which gave the offense a chance to score — a lot. A 535-143 yardage advantage The Cowboys were able to sustain drives and roll up and down the field. Even when they didn’t
finish a drive with a score — which was a rarity — they still sustained drives and kept momentum on their side. The Cowboys had a lopsided advantage in the yardage department, regardless of who was in the game. Winning in the trenches Football starts in the trenches, and OSU’s O-line and D-line exuded that on Saturday. On offense, the Oline opened holes and held up in pass protection, which gave the skill players the keys to make a splash. Then on defense, the line got penetration to clamp down on the run game. And while it didn’t get any sacks, OSU put pressure and forced errant throws from KU’s quarterbacks. sports.ed@ocolly.com
