Campbell dubbed a 2022 Preseason All-American Ben Hutchens Staff Reporter Oklahoma State Cowboy pitcher Justin Campbell picks up some preseason recognition. The third-year player is on the 2022 preseason All-America first team selected by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. Campbell is one of six pitchers on the list. Three other Big 12 players join Campbell, Texas’ pitcher Pete Hansen and first baseman Ivan Melendez and Texas Tech second baseman Jace Jung. Although he makes the list as a pitcher, Campbell also batted as designated hitter last season. He appeared in 30 games as a designated hitter and batted .269 with a home run, five doubles and 10 RBIs. Known primarily for his pitching, Campbell pitched in 14 games last season, 13 as a starter, and had a record of 7-2, a 2.57 ERA and 102 strikeouts in 84 innings of work. OSU’s highlight of the season on the mound came at the hands of Campbell. The tall lanky pitcher from Simi Valley, California struck out 11 Kansas Jayhawk batters using only 99 pitches and did not allow a hit. Campbell spent time this summer playing with the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team, and is just the twelfth player from OSU to earn a spot on the team. File photo

Dezmon Jackson latest Cowboy to enter transfer portal Dean Ruhl Sports Editor On Tuesday, Oklahoma State running back Dezmon Jackson entered the NCAA transfer portal, according to Matt Zenitz of On3 Sports. Jackson becomes the third Cowboy to enter the portal since the start of December. Jackson, a redshirt senior, rushed for 686 yards and six touchdowns in three seasons with the Cowboys, highlighted by a 235-yard game against Texas Tech in 2020. He played in six games this season, missing seven with an undisclosed injury. He finished fourth in rushing yards for the Cowboys in 2021. Jackson’s status for the bowl game is currently unknown, but coach Mike Gundy expects running back Jaylen Warren, who missed the Big 12 Championship with an undisclosed injury, to be available. Jackson joins his teammates, offensive lineman Hunter Anthony and defensive tackle Jayden Jernigan, in the portal. He has one year of eligibility remaining. By entering his name into the transfer portal, Jackson intends to explore other options, but if he wishes to return, the Cowboys can bring him back, but are under no obligation to do so. What does it mean for the running back depth? With Warren and running back LD Brown completing their eligibility following the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 1, Jackson’s departure would make it three veteran backs leaving the Cowboys after this season. Running backs Dominic Richardson, Zach Middleton and Jaden Nixon currently are slated to return next season, added to OSU signing two running backs in the latest recruiting cycle, Ollie Gordon and CJ Brown. This gives the Cowboys five scholarship running backs ahead of the 2022 season, and likely pencils Richardson as the starter. sports.ed@ocolly.com

During her time at OSU, then known as Oklahoma A&M, she cofounded Sigma Literary Society and she was an assistant at the campus library. After graduation she eventually became the first president of the OSU Alumni Association and the Half-Century Club.
OSU’s library holds the Jessie Thatcher Bost Collection containing her OAMC memorabilia including photos, class notebooks and essays covering different topics and subjects. In addition to this, OSU’s first all-female dormitory was named after Bost.

BE DEFINITE!
It has been a number of years ago that the Lord Jesus challenged me to be definite in making myself available to him. I was attending church regularly. My wife and I were giving to the work of God. We were not doing anything that would be considered wrong in the eyes of God. I thought I was available to Christ. As I prayed about this, I felt the Lord wanted me to spend more consistent time with him. I decided to get up each morning and spend an hour in prayer and in the Bible. The first morning when I knelt at the living room couch, I went to sleep. What a commitment! However, I did not give up. The next morning with my Bible in hand, I walked back and forth across the living room praising, praying and reading the Bible. I was being definite, not perfect, but definite.
King David said, “My heart says of you (God), ‘Seek his Face! Your face, Lord, I will seek.’ (Ps.27:8) David was a man after God’s own heart. He certainly was not perfect, but one who sought after and followed God. Being definite with God has such great reward. He is the Good Shepherd that will faithfully lead our lives into the best and lasting way. As the Lord challenges our lives in various areas of obedience and service, It is so important to be definite; to be clear, to be wholehearted. Go all the way, and do that thing(s) you are challenged to do. Don’t compromise! Possibly God is challenging you about a definite time in prayer and in scripture. Maybe it is in giving; not just occasionally, but often and consistently Maybe it is Christian service; helping is mission work; worthwhile projects. Go for it! Be definite. You will find God definite, and there will be lasting fruit and satisfaction.
A clip of Carole shows her saying when she deals with stress, she paces. The investigator poses a question, why is she so upset, so late at night, just because her car broke down? This episodes goes more into certain aspect of the case which seem to not add up.

he is enjoying a second go at playing Electro. However, William Dafoe gives a performance that will go down as one of the greatest in comic book movie villain history. It has been 20 years since we have seen his Green Goblin on the big screen. Somehow, he takes the character and adds new layers to it in “No Way Home.” Dafoe makes Norman Osborn a truly terrifying, however, somewhat sympathetic character. This movie feels like the ultimate Spider-Man film. Holland has not cemented himself into the role of Peter Parker, but he may be nominated for an Academy Award if the committee is not too pretentious. Holland delivers the best performance we have seen for a Spider-Man film, barely beating out a character that I will not spoil for you here. There have been complaints about Holland’s version of Peter not resembling his comic counterpart. I can assure that this talk will be put to rest after this movie. Holland truly becomes ‘The Spider-Man.’ So many things work in “No Way
Home,” I can’t think of a single thing that does not. Considering the movie is based on nostalgia and the previous Spider-man universes, it is easy to get wrapped up in the good ol’ days. Watts masterfully pulls these universes and characters together and uses them to enhance the story, while improving and closing some story threads that may have been left open. If you are worried about certain moments that could happen, do not worry and trust me. You will get that and much more. Ultimately, “No Way Home” is a movie about consequences, heart and being the bigger person. It’s the ultimate Spider-Man movie that will leave you in awe and most likely in tears. There’s a good chance you will be wondering if you actually watched what you did. Without a doubt Marvel’s best movie and one we will remember for the rest of time.
