The Cowboy Way: 40 Wins in Last Four Years



The Oklahoma State football program has won 40 games over the last four years.  The Cowboys have reached new highs under Mike Gundy, and the future is extremely bright in Stillwater.  OSU is coming off its seventh consecutive bowl appearance and is projected to win the Big 12 Conference next season by ESPN.

The Cowboys are currently in offseason workouts with strength coach Rob Glass.  OSU will spend the next seven months in its 20,000-square-foot weight room designed specifically for football.  Coach Glass, who is regarded as one of the nation's top strength and conditioning coaches, has a proven record with five NFL first-round draft picks in the last four years.

The OSU coaching staff has been diligently recruiting in preparation for National Signing Day on Feb. 6.  Recruiting has allowed Oklahoma State to take the next step and contend every year for a conference championship.  This season is no different with a lot of hype and excitement surrounding this year's group.  However, this is the final week coaches can be on the road and OSU is taking full advantage of it. Cowboy fans can follow National Signing Day on CoachGundy.com and OkState.com.
