The spirit of a charmed season died slowly, quietly, unceremoniously.

Or so it would seem.In a game that had almost

become overlooked throughout the week, No. 6 Oklahoma State lost for the first time, and it happened in such pedestrian

fashion it almost felt wrong.Baylor won 45-35 with its

third-string quarterback playing in the second half. The Bears torched the OSU secondary, ran through tackles and stifled the Cowboys’ running game.

The Bears never completely pulled away, but after halftime, it never really felt close.

The Cowboys have five come-from-behind wins this season, three coming back from down 15 or more. They’ve gotten timely breaks, key sacks, clutch reviews. If this team was going to lose, you’d think it would be in dramatic fashion.

Saturday proved to be a largely normal game. But in being normal, it was strange. That’s sort of how it goes with Oklahoma State sometimes.

“I thought our guys fought,” OSU coach Mike Gundy said. “They never gave up. Their atti-tude was good, and they played with a lot of effort.”

Mason Rudolph threw for 430 yards in a game where the offense seemed flat. The Cowboys forced three turnovers on a night their defense was exposed. OSU lost to the No.

10 team in the country, but it comes off like a huge upset.

“I have so much respect for Oklahoma State,” Baylor coach Art Briles said. “They’re very composed and never panicked. They stay within their system, and I just think they’re an extremely well-coached football team. They’re a really tough team to beat.”

With the loss, OSU is all but out of the running for a spot in the College Football Playoff for reasons that aren’t easy to understand. In a way, it feels as if the season is over. But the problem is … It’s not. The Cowboys still have a huge Bed-lam matchup next week. Will still play in a big-time bowl game. Still in the midst of one of the best seasons in school history.

“We’ve got to rally these guys,” Gundy said. “Get them back tomorrow and start getting ready for the next game.”

Saturday was deflating to the Stillwater fan base, as evidenced by a crowd 58,669 going quiet as soon as Bay-lor’s first play from scrimmage went for 48 yards. OSU had

its momentum halted, if not erased, in a way that blurs the big picture. Next week’s game against Oklahoma will be one of the most hyped Bedlams ever. A Big 12 championship is still attainable.

In Stillwater, the hopes and dreams of a national title will stay just that. But it’s been a

hell of a ride to this point, and it’s far from over.

“We’re blessed,” linebacker Seth Jacobs said. “We’re very fortunate. A lot of people, in situations like this after a loss, could be down, but at least we still have a lot to play for.”

Every Monday Night

Burns Hargis remembers the feeling.

The pride, the jubilation, the shock that on Dec. 4, 1965, Okla-homa State defeated Oklahoma in a football game for the first time in 20 years.

“Euphoria,” said Hargis, OSU’s president. “It’s amazing, kind of strange how a win pumps you up. You take some precarious pride in it, somehow, as if you had anything to do with it. It just makes you feel better.”

Hargis was a junior at OSU in 1965 and a Sigma Nu frater-nity brother with members of the team, including center Jim Click, offensive tackle Harold Akin and

defensive end Dennis Randle.He was part of what seemed like

the entire student populations that took in the bonfires and celebra-tions around campus and Stillwater when the Cowboys returned from their 17-16 victory in Norman, their first Bedlam win since 1945.

Fullback Walt Garrison ran for 76 yards in the game, becoming the third Cowboy to rush for 2,000 yards in his career.

“At the time, it was the greatest thing that ever happened, not only to me, but to other players, and not only to all of us, but to the school,” Garrison said. “OSU finally had something that they could cheer about and they could brag about, and shut up the people in Norman for a while.”

***They never quit.The 1965 Cowboys went 3-7, but

they never gave in. They fought to the end because that was what had been instilled in them.

Coach Phil Cutchin came to Stillwater in 1963 after a decade as an assistant under Bear Bry-ant at Kentucky, Texas A&M and Alabama.

Cutchin strode into his first meet-

ing with the team seeking football players.

“A lot of you boys don’t want to play football,” Cutchin said. “I’m gonna find who you are.”

He did.Players quit by the dozens during

practices. The Cowboys were beat against the ground and one another, then sprinted the lengths of six to eight football fields after practice.

A group of 30 or so of each class stayed behind and endured.

“There weren’t no quitters on the team,” Randall said. “… If you didn’t quit during practice, you’d never quit during the game.”

They rarely did. It couldn’t be seen in their record, but the Cutchin Cowboys, the self-moniker they created, were resilient.

“We call it kind of foxhole men-tality,” strong safety Jerry Gill said. “We had a lot of battles. … We got beat a lot, but we usually didn’t get beat badly, and we always were competitive and always tough and never gave up. I like that about the Cutchin Cowboys.”

Saturday, 50 years after their Bedlam win, the Cutchin Cowboys will be honored at Boone Pickens Stadium. It’s not only for what they

did on the football field, but also what they did in their lives after it.

They became doctors, politicians

and engineers. Some enjoyed a career in the

NFL before becoming prominent businessmen.

Gill served as the president and CEO of the OSU Alumni Asso-ciation for 22 years. He has been able to use that position as a way to keep the Cutchin Cowboys in touch.

The bonds formed during the

years under Cutchin did that as well.

“We went through a lot of hard-ships together, and friendships are built on hardships, not on good times,” Garrison said.

***Before Boone Pickens Stadium

could be seen in the Stillwater skyline, before Barry Sanders was a Heisman Trophy winner, before Mike Gundy was born, the Cow-

boys and Sooners played a football game.

It was a battle fought in the trenches between teams not par-ticularly interested in passing.

OU kicker Ron Shotts lined up for a 41-yard field goal with six seconds to play at what was then Owen Field, 1:35 after Charley Durkee put OSU ahead 17-16 with a field goal.

The Cowboys had come close to ending the streak before, losing by two scores or fewer eight times in the previous 20 years; they had also lost nine by 30 or more. It looked as if they were going to again fail to end the streak.

Shotts got ready for the kick.Gill, a junior and starter for the

Cowboys, came around the right side and reached out with an op-portunity to end two decades of Sooner dominance.

The ball breezed by his finger-

tips.“I could just almost feel it,

maybe an inch away from the football,” Gill said 50 years later. “I almost got it.”

It didn’t matter.The kick sailed wide left. For the

first time since the Bob Fenimore-led Aggies beat OU in 1945 to im-prove to 8-0 in the program’s only undefeated season, the Cowboys won Bedlam.

“It was our time,” Gill said. “… If we were playing checkers, you’d want to beat OU. Just beating them anytime is good.”

***The Cutchin Cowboys stayed

with the team because they had to. They were not stars. Players said they weren’t immensely talented. They made sure to note scholar-ship offers did not flock their way.

OSU was their only option.Click got an acceptance letter to

Stanford after a friend pulled some strings, but even the letter gave him a feeling he wasn’t welcome. Garrison’s only other scholarship offer was at Wharton County Ju-nior College for the rodeo team.

It turned out to be a gift.“Going to Oklahoma State, that

was one of the best things that ever happened to me,” Garrison said.

Those Cutchin teams were not, in the simplest form, successful. They never had a winning season, and Cutchin’s career as a coach ended in 1968 after he led OSU to a 19-38-2 record.

They lost, but the players chose to stick it out.

“The best thing I remember do-ing is to stay,” Click said. “I think the guys that didn’t quit feel the same way. We went through holy hell.

“... Those guys are probably some of the best friends I have today because what we went through.”

The same resonates among his teammates. Cutchin’s tough practices made them stronger and united as players and people.

“The best four years in my life were the ones I spent in Stillwater, Oklahoma, at Oklahoma State University,” Click said.

***They made their mark on OSU’s

history, and they’re trying to do the same with its future.

The Cutchin Cowboys, primarily Gill at the OSU Alumni Associa-tion, have created the Phil Cutchin Memorial Scholarship, a four-year, $5,000 scholarship given to an Oklahoma high school student who displays leadership and work ethic while also having financial need.

A Cutchin Cowboys scholar-ship is in the works, as well, Gill

said. The award will be given to a member of the athletic department for the same traits and a similar amount.

“I wish we would’ve won more football games, but we won a lot of things after with the quality of people we have out there that rep-resent Oklahoma State well with

their careers,” Gill said. “… I’ve al-ways thought the Cutchin Cowboys were a special group of Cowboys to come through Oklahoma State.”

Fifty years later, the Cutchin Cowboys smile and laugh, cracking jokes with and about one another. They guarantee a wild time while they’re in Stillwater, surrounded

with family, friends and memories. Although Cutchin died in 1999, his wife, Betsy, will be at Boone Pickens Stadium on Saturday.

When it was Lewis Field, it was the site of another Bedlam victory for OSU in 1966. After two decades of Bedlam losses, the Cutchin Cowboys managed to win back-to-back games against their rival.

For members of OSU’s senior class in 1965, such as Garrison and Click, they were part of only one Bedlam victory.

They will take it.“It made the whole four years,

that one win, made it all worth-while for the whole team,” Click said.

The next Monday, OSU President Oliver Willham canceled classes, giving a day off school to several students who hadn’t been born the most recent time OSU won Bedlam.

With a chuckle, Hargis, who

joins Willham as the only univer-sity presidents to graduate from OSU, said he wouldn’t do the same if the Cowboys win Bedlam on Saturday.

“If we win the national cham-pionship, I’ll really give it a lot of thought,” he said.

The 2015 Cowboys have a lot more on the line than a day free of classes.

A Big 12 championship is well within reach with a victory Saturday against OU. The possi-bility exists they could sneak into the College Football Playoff. That elusive first national championship might be in play.

The Cutchin Cowboys played for none of those. Another champion-ship caught their eyes.

“If you are the champion of your state, that is great, and we were once,” Garrison said. “We were the champions of Oklahoma.”

Top moments of OSU’S 12-game win streak

1. Tyreek Hill’s return: With the season on the line, Hill returned a punt for a 92-yard touchdown to tie Bedlam with 45 seconds left. The return eventually sent the game into overtime and resulted in an Oklahoma State victory to end a five-game losing streak.

2. Ben Grogan’s game-winning field goal at Bedlam: After an OSU fourth-quarter rally, Grogan started the Cowboys’ 12-game winning streak with a 21-yard field goal in overtime to beat Oklahoma 38-35.

3. Win vs TCU: OSU had yet to tally a notable win, but the Cowboys took advantage of an op-portunity against then-unbeaten TCU during Week 9. OSU had a quick start and cruised to a 49-29 victory to earn national respect.

4. J.W. Walsh’s overtime touchdown run: Tied with West Virginia on the road in overtime, Walsh stepped up. The Cowboys went for it on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line, and Walsh ran in a touchdown for the eventual game-winner.

6. Grogan’s game-winning field goal vs Kansas State: Trailing K-State 34-33 with 3:01 left in the game, OSU had its back against the wall to keep its perfect record intact. The Cowboys marched down the field, and Grogan made a 37-yard field goal with 32 seconds left to win the game. It was his second straight week to kick a game-winning field goal.

5. Iowa State comeback: With thoughts of the 2011 season swirling, Iowa State had OSU down from the beginning and held a 10-point lead heading into the fourth quarter. The Cowboys scored 14 unanswered points in the final quarter to seal a 35-31 win and notched the second 10-0 record in school history.

7.Texas Tech comeback: OSU proved to be the “Comeback Cowboys” in Lubbock. It trailed by 17 in the first half but battled back and took the lead with 1:49 left in the third quarter. Texas Tech fought back and reclaimed the lead but Walsh scored three touchdowns in the fourth quarter to help claim a 70-53 victory for the Cowboys.

8. Grogan’s game-winning field goal at Texas: This is when the Cowboys began their reputation for making comebacks. Grogan tied Texas with a 41-yard field goal with 1:33 left. Texas botched the snap on a punt during its next possession, which gave OSU great field position with 36 seconds left. The drive set up another Grogan 40-yard field goal that gave OSU the lead with six seconds left. 9. Walsh scores five touchdowns vs Kansas: On a day full of tragedy after the homecoming parade crash, Walsh gave OSU fans something to cheer for and take their minds off the incident. Walsh tallied five touchdowns – three rushing and two passing – in the Cowboys’ 58-10 win over Kansas.

10. OSU defense forces seven turnovers vs UTSA: The Cowboy defense made a statement against UTSA. OSU forced five fumbles and two interceptions in the 69-14 victory. The defense also accounted for two touchdowns. Devante Averette scored the first touchdown of the game after returning a fumble for 6 yards. Derric Robertson also returned a fumble for a touchdown with 1:25 left in the game.

12. Mason Rudolph notches first home win: After making his first three starts away from Stillwa-ter, Rudolph made his home debut against Central Arkansas on Sept. 12. Rudolph threw for 401 yards and two touchdowns to claim his first victory in Boone Pickens Stadium. The Cowboys beat Central Arkansas 32-8.

11. James Castleman shines in Cactus Bowl: Defensive tackle James Castleman made an impact on offense against Washington in the Cactus Bowl to help notch OSU’s second victory during the win streak. Castleman scored on a 1-yard run in the first quarter to post the Cowboys’ first touchdown of the game. He also caught a 48-yard pass in the fourth quarter.

VITAL KEY TO FRUITFULNESS!

“He who sacrifices thank offerings honors me, and he prepares the way so that I may show him the salvation of God.” (Ps.50:23 NIV)Honest praise and thanksgiving to God is encouraged all through the Bible. Psalm 22:3 tells us that “ God inhabits the praises of his people.” We are admonished: “in everything give thanks.” It is so easy to get embroiled with the cares and negative happenings of life; we forget the wonderful truth about “God honoring” praise. He dwells in praise! Praise sets an atmosphere for God to manifest his presence. The Bible is clear that God is everywhere at all times, but praise builds a location for a manifestation of his presence. I t is an expression of our trust; our faith. It may come in the form of great peace or wonderful joy. His presence may bring incite of scripture that will help us, or possibly a definite intervention in a problem.

God can and does touch situations and they can change instantly.What is the basis of our praise and thanksgiving to God? Isn’t it his character and his promises? The Bible calls them exceeding great and precious promises. (2 Pet.1:4) The first verse mentioned above is such a wonderful illustration and truth. Praise and thanksgiving is the action that brings these two results. First, they honor God. They put him in his proper place; he is lifted up as God, the only true God, who rules and is worthy of exaltation above all our problems. Second, thanksgiving and praise opens the door, makes the way, for God to show us his salvation; that is, to work and minister his help to us in various ways.Notice, it is a sacrifice of thanksgiving. I t is something we can do not only when things are going right, but in all circumstances; regardless of how we feel at the moment or how the situations of life look to us. God reigns over all, and to honor him sets the stage for God’s work. Let’s practice praise rather than complaining or living discouraged. It is God’s way; it is the right way!

For the first time this season, Oklahoma State dropped in the national rankings after its loss to Baylor on Saturday.

The Cowboys slid five spots to No. 9 in the Asso-ciated Press Poll and fell six spots to No. 10 in the USA Today Coaches Poll.

Baylor jumped to No. 7 in both polls after its vic-tory against OSU. Okla-homa slid by TCU and climbed to No. 5 in both polls. TCU sits at No. 15 in the AP Poll and No. 16 in the Coaches Poll after its loss. West Virginia is also receiving votes in both polls.

Cowboys slide in national rankings after first loss

Playing shorthanded, the Oklahoma State Cowboys were able to bounce back from Friday’s overtime loss to George Mason.

OSU defeated Long Beach State 82-77 on Sun-day to claim third place in the Gildan Charleston Classic. Freshman point guard Jawun Evans, who scored 21 points, corralled seven rebounds and dished two assists, carried the Cowboys.

The Cowboys were missing senior guard Phil Forte, who suffered a left elbow injury in Thursday’s

victory over Towson. OSU (4-1) was also

without Leyton Ham-monds and Tavarius Shine.

In their absence, Antho-ny Allen stepped up, scor-ing 13 points. But Allen’s presence was most felt on the defensive end, where he recorded three blocks. Chris Olivier added four blocks off the bench. The Cowboys finished with nine.

Jeff Newberry scored 13 points on 4-of-8 shooting.

The 49ers (3-2) used de-fense to stay in the game. They forced 16 Cowboy turnovers and finished the game with nine steals. They also had 18 assists.

With 26 seconds remain-ing, the Cowboys held a 78-77 lead. But with time on OSU’s side, Tyree Griffin stepped to the free throw line twice, sink-ing all four free throws to secure the Cowboy victory.

The Cowboys next game is at home against Long Beach State at 7:30 p.m. Friday.

Saturday’s Puzzle SolvedBy Clement McKay 11/23/15

Oklahoma (10-1, 7-1 Big 12)The Sooners beat TCU 30-29, but they lost a key component in quarterback Baker Mayfield, who left the game at halftime after taking a hard hit to the head. Backup quarterback Trevor Knight went 5-of-16 for 76 yards. Mayfield’s status is unclear for the Bedlam game in Week 13.

Week 13: at Oklahoma State

Oklahoma State (10-1, 7-1)The lack of an efficient running game finally caught up with the Cow-boys. In their 45-35 loss to Baylor, the Pokes rushed for eight yards, and were outgained on the ground by 296 yards. Although their playoff hopes are most likely extinguished, the Cowboys would like to end their rival’s momentum in Bedlam.

Week 13: vs. Oklahoma

Baylor (9-1, 6-1)Third-string quarterback Chris Johnson replaced Jarrett Stidham after Stid-ham suffered injuries to his right ankle and hand in the first half. Johnson account-ed for three touchdowns in Baylor’s most impressive win of the season, beating OSU in Stillwater 45-35.

Week 13: at TCU

TCU (9-2, 6-2)Although the Horned Frogs were eliminated from the

Big 12 title race after their loss to OU, they have a lot to be proud of. Down its quarterback, top receiver and countless defensive players, TCU made it a game and nearly won. TCU will try to play spoiler for the only team that beat it last year, Baylor.

Week 13: vs. Baylor

West Virginia (6-4, 3-4)The Mountaineers eas-ily beat Kansas 49-0 and can be officially classified as the Big 12’s best team outside the top four of OU, Baylor, OSU and TCU. West Virginia rushed for 426 yards, led by quarter-back Skylar Howard, who had 129. An 8-4 season is looking quite possible for the Mountaineers.

Week 13: vs. Iowa State

Texas Tech (6-5, 3-5)After 11 straight weeks of games, the Red Raiders got a much-needed bye week. Although quarter-back Patrick Mahomes gets most of the credit for their prolific offense, running back DeAndre Washington is generatinag unreal num-bers. Washington rushed for 248 yards in the Red Raiders’ win over K-State in Week 11 and will look to do the same against Texas on Thanksgiving.

Week 13: at Texas

Texas (4-6, 3-4)The Longhorns will play for their bowl game hopes when Texas Tech comes to town Thanksgiving night. Texas has not lost to Tech in Austin since 1997. If

the Longhorns can beat Tech, they will have to beat Baylor in Waco to become bowl- eligible.

Week 13: vs. Texas Tech

Kansas State (4-6, 1-6)Things looked grim in Manhattan, Kansas, after the Wildcats gave up 28 second-quarter points to Iowa State. But the KSU defense held the Cyclones scoreless in the second half, and the Wildcats overcame a 21-point deficit to beat Iowa State 38-35 on a late field goal. The Wild-cats have to win out, but they can still go bowling.

Week 13: at Kansas

Iowa State (3-8, 2-6)Iowa State lost three fumbles in the final seven minutes and blew a 35-14 halftime lead in their 38-35 loss to Kansas State. After the loss, coach Paul Rhoads was fired Sunday morning. Rhoads went 32-54 at Iowa State during his seven years as coach.

Week 13: at West Virginia

Kansas (0-11, 0-8)The Jayhawks’ 49-0 loss to West Virginia was a good illustration of how their season has gone. The defense gives up huge numbers, the offense can’t generate points and as a result, the Jayhawks will probably finish the season 0-12, unless they can find it in themselves to beat their in-state rival.

The woman accused of killing four and injur-ing 46 others at Okla-homa State’s homecom-ing parade had a blood alcohol content below the

level of legal intoxica-tion, according to a docu-ment filed Thursday.

Adacia Avery Cham-bers, 25, had a blood alcohol content of .01 at the time of the crash, said Chambers’ defense attorney Tony Coleman in a brief in support of funding for Chambers to have an expert witness in the areas of psychology and accident reconstruc-tion.

After her arrest, of-ficers took Chambers to Stillwater Medical Center where her blood was

drawn for testing. Oklahoma law consid-

ers individuals 21 and older with a blood alco-hol content level of .08 to be legally intoxicated.

In the brief, Coleman said Chambers is indig-nant and can’t afford to provide experts at their own expense.

“Defendant can only be afforded meaningful access to justice by hav-ing a psychology expert available as well as an expert available in the field of accident recon-struction,” Coleman said.

Coleman said Cham-bers has a “due process right” to confront the evi-dence and witnesses who testify against her. He said an expert is needed to explain the difference between Chambers’ cur-rent state of mind and her state of mind at the time of incident.

An expert is needed to cross-examine the results of a psychological evalua-tion from Nov. 17, which differs from the evalua-tion conducted on Oct. 26 by psychologist Shawn Roberson, Coleman said.

Roberson determined Chambers to be “acutely psychotic” and said he thinks she is likely suffering from bipolar disorder, manic episode with mixed and psychotic features, Roberson wrote in his evaluation.

Chambers was taken to the Oklahoma Forensic Center in Vinita for eval-uation Nov. 17, according to court documents.

Chambers is charged with four counts of second-degree murder and 46 counts of assault and battery by means or

force likely to produce death.

A status hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on Dec. 10 at the Payne County Court-house.
