Introducing Cowboy Conversations.

A new OState Daily series bringing you the stories of Oklahoma State's greatest athletes, coaches, and moments—from the legends who lived them.

We begin with one of the greatest Cowboys to ever wear the Orange and Black...

🏈 Terry Miller.

A College Football Hall of Fame inductee (2022) and Oklahoma State Ring of Honor member (2023), and OSU Hall of Famer, Miller cemented his place among the all-time greats.

Career Highlights
🏈 4,754 career rushing yards (2nd in OSU history)
🏈 49 career rushing TDs (2nd in OSU history)
🏈 School-record 26 career 100-yard rushing games
🏈 Only OSU RB w/three 1,000-yard rushing seasons
🏈 Two-time Big Eight Offensive Player of the Year
🏈 Two-time Consensus All-American
🏈 Heisman Trophy finalist:
• 4th in 1976
• Runner-up in 1977 (behind Earl Campbell)

In 1976, Miller rushed for 1,887 yards, earned Big Eight Offensive Player of the Year honors, and led the Cowboys to one of the most memorable Bedlam victories in school history—including his unforgettable run down the near boundary in Norman.

He followed that with 1,680 rushing yards in 1977, repeated as Big Eight Offensive Player of the Year, and finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting.

After Oklahoma State, Miller was selected by the Buffalo Bills in the 2nd Round and became the featured back for Buffalo, replacing O.J. Simpson.

In this first episode of Cowboy Conversations, Terry looks back on:
🎙️ The legendary 1976 Bedlam win
🎙️ His unforgettable run against Oklahoma
🎙️ His Oklahoma State career
🎙️ The teammates & coaches 
This is one you won't want to miss. #GoPokes #OkState

Sometimes you just know.

For LA Sneed, the feeling she had about Oklahoma State never went away.

OSU has a way of making people feel at home almost immediately.

But it wasn't just Stillwater that sold her.

It was also Coach Hoyt and the culture she's built.

Sneed experienced that positive energy playing against OSU. Now she's fired up to be part of it every day.

That's a big reason she chose to be a Cowgirl.

Why LA Sneed Chose Oklahoma State: "The Feeling Just Never Left" ⭐
One of the biggest improvements in Stailee Heard's game, IMO, has been how she has learned to just make the plays the game presents.

Let me explain!

As the 2023 Gatorade Oklahoma Player of the Year out of Sapulpa, Heard was used to controlling games with her offense. Probably every game—and maybe every possession—ran through her.

But once Big 12 opponents made her the top priority on basically EVERY scouting report, she had to learn there were other ways to control a game.

And she had to learn which club she needed to bring out of the bag for every different opponent or style of defense that was put together to stop her. The best players don't stop impacting games when they aren't scoring—they find other ways to win.

With the help of Coach Hoyt, Heard has learned to let the game come to her. Sometimes that means taking over offensively, which she's capable of doing at any moment. Other times, it means trusting the attention she draws to create opportunities for her teammates, and that's become one of the biggest signs of her growth as a player, IMO.

Now imagine the firepower around her this season...

WATCH OUT!

Let's get this season started YESTERDAY! 🤠🧡

The Evolution of Stailee Heard | The Biggest Difference in Her Game
Jalen Montonati didn't grow up wondering if Oklahoma State would be part of his life—it always was.

He spent his childhood attending OSU football and basketball games, built a close relationship with Coach Boynton, knew Coach Eddie Sutton through his family's ties to the program, and ultimately felt that Coach Steve Lutz was the right person to lead the next era of Cowboy basketball. Coming to Stillwater just felt natural.

Now comes the hard part.

Brian Montonati helped lead Oklahoma State to a Final Four and was part of one of the greatest eras in program history. Jalen isn't just following in his father's footsteps—he's trying to build a legacy of his own while carrying one of the most recognizable names in Cowboy basketball.

Brian shares the full story behind Jalen's decision and much more in this exclusive interview.

Brian Montonati says everyone knew it was going one way or the other.

Brian Montonati shares his story of how he ended up at Oklahoma State.

A kid from Muskegon, Michigan, Montonati, landed at Fullerton College in California. Meanwhile, the OSU coaching staff was out west scouting Doug Gottlieb at Golden West College.

Then they got a tip about a 6-foot-10 player at a nearby junior college.

They watched Brian Montonati... and offered him on the spot.

The rest is OSU basketball history.

One underrated aspect of this Cowgirl roster:

It may be the most talented team Oklahoma State has ever assembled.

But despite all that talent, there isn't much NCAA Tournament experience.

So while plenty of pieces should be "plug-and-play," building chemistry and learning how to win together will still be a major part of the process. Despite the talent, there will still be a LOT of building that will have to take place. 

Coach Jacie Hoyt explains. ⬇️

NCAA Tournament Experience & Building The Cowgirls
🏀 Coach Jacie Hoyt on Building a Brand-New Roster

The Cowgirls returned just one player from last season—Staillee Heard—meaning Coach Jacie Hoyt and her staff had to rebuild the roster from the ground up.

In this video, Hoyt discusses:
🔸 Knowing they would have to attack the portal
🔸 Bringing together the No. 1 transfer portal class
🔸 How the new players are meshing
🔸 Why culture &  fit matter just as much as talent

Replacing an entire roster is one thing. Building a winning team and putting ALL the pieces together is another.

Coach Hoyt gives a lot of praise to Tarren Hoyt and Kelby Jones for the job they did in the offseason, building this roster.
