Title: Why is the Oklahoma State fanbase so weak?
Post by: Dugout DickStone on September 19, 2019, 10:45:09 AM
I've never met one.  Do they literally not exist?  It seems like the crowds there at their T Boone stadium are pretty quiet and docile.  If you were ranking fanbases are they tied for last with KU?

They have to bring artificial noise makers into their stadium because they are too quiet without them. So I'd put them about on par with Mississippi State. The handful of KU fans that show up to all of the games are great. You can hear "rip his rough ridin' head off" from all the way across the stadium.

OU has beaten them down year after year. Only makes sense they are basically cowboy dust at this point.

@UncleCharlie may be able to shed some light on this, but it probably has something to do with the death of T. Boone Pickens.

Their weakness has likely been caused by the fact their dumb stadium runs from east to west.

They would rather watch wrastling.  A wrastling school.  Pretty much says it all.  :buh-bye: :'bye cruel world: :buh-bye: (ftp://:buh-bye: :'bye cruel world: :buh-bye:)

Having been to many events in Stillwaters, I've learned everything there as a college student sucks... but the older people get, the more proud they are or something? It's weird.

G-Iba never has anyone in it, the K-State fans in T Boone are usually louder, and man, their bar scene is embarrassingly bad. I mean, if you suck at everything, at least be good at getting pak'd.

It's like, I know there are some because on tv they show the stands and there are human beings sitting there wearing orange but I don't know any IRL.  I think this is why we got shoved to ESPN + on account of how weak they are.

I've seen one in person, Ricky Fowler was wearing orange on Sunday at a golf tournament at Torrey Pines, but he didn't play great.

I think my co-worker went to OSU but he never talks about them.

Just went up to him to talk smack about our game next weekend and it turns out he went to OREGON State.

Are we sure OKLAHOMA State is even a real school?

We have an Oklahoma State guy who works in reception. He doesn’t really talk much about them, though. I guess he even asked if they would take his college off the company directory because he’s hoping to move up and is worried people won’t take him seriously because of OSU’s academic reputation.

I'd imagine it's likely because of the guy that blew himself up outside of their stadium in 2005.

I'd be scared to go back too

I worked with an Ok. State fan about 10 years ago.

He was really bad at his job.

all of this really confirms my research.  Oklahoma state fans are the weakest in the Big 12 (tied with ku)

Spent last night racking my brain trying to recall any OSU fans I have had interactions with and just remembered that my secretary's son went to OSU.

I asked how her son was liking OSU.....apparently he dropped out 2 years ago and is currently on the maintenance crew of the local golf course down there.  :surprised:

Grew up in southeast Kansas, and have had numerous confirmed sightings of 'Poke fans.  They rarely interrupt their routines of noodlin' and seining for crawdads long enough to actually attend a football game.  The more radical ones listen to the game by putting their AM radio on the river bank.

I think the entire school just exists to graduate people who will go work on oil rigs in the Ocean or arctic or other horrible places.  God bless them, though.
