Colin Carmichael Postgame After OSU Beat SEMU 2-0
Keaton Mitchell is starting to find her scoring touch.

She transferred to Oklahoma State from Tennessee, where she had just two goals all of last season. She already has three with the Cowgirls—and we're still one game away from conference play.

It's fun watching players settle into their surroundings, get comfortable with their teammates and coaches, and really begin to understand the Xs and Os and how they fit into it all.

That's when you see the confidence build. And we're seeing that right now with Mitchell.

She scored today in the Cowgirls' 2-0 win over SEMO and credited the teammates around her for her success.

Very "on brand" for Mitchell: tons of personality while remaining incredibly humble.

Sonora DeFini and Keatoin Mitchell Postgame of SEMU. Both Girls Scored!
🚨 WARNING: VENT SESSION. 🚨  

The latest Makin' It Rain just dropped, and we let the diehard emotion of our fanhood loose. No sugarcoating. No excuses. Just frustration and a whole lot of emotion from start to finish in this one. Well, and a whole lot of rambling on that is probably more therapy for us than anything. 

If you're wanting more of a silver lining, or positivity, this one is probably not for you.   If you don't want that, I understand, but I sure feel better now!😂

Makin' It Rain...We Let the Emotions Loss & We Vent!
If you wanna see what accountability and leadership look like, check out the postgame comments from Drew Mestemaker... WOW! Moving forward, he has to back up his words on the field. Otherwise, words become empty, but the way he handled the disappointment was very impressive.

Not gonna lie!

Also not gonna hold back!

Drew makes 3.5 million dollars, which is a very difficult figure for OSU to meet. And what makes it particularly difficult is having enough funds to build the roster around him and provide the depth you need. I hate to put undue pressure on him, but nobody can take that piece of it away from him. He has to be able to deal with the expectations that come with that salary and perform.

It reminds me of a college baseball player who is draft-eligible. You want to do well for your team, no question, but there's also a personal-gain element to it. In Drew's case, he surely feels the pressure to live up to the paycheck, and that has the potential to be a "me" emotion inside a team game, even if you are the farthest thing from a "me" person. Which I think we can safely say Drew has 0 "me" in him, so, again, that has always had the potential to be a weird thing to deal with.

Yesterday was 29-49, 241 yards, 1 TD, a fumble, and a pick. It just wasn't a good performance. Let's call it what it is.

And I'm gonna say this too: when you're making that kind of money, the expectations are going to be different. Fans aren't going to have the same "kid gloves" they might have had with college athletes in the past. That's part of the deal.

So now Drew has to do exactly what he said he was going to do: get back to playing ball. Play to his potential, win games, and let the performance speak for itself.

The faster he can rip that Band-Aid off and get back to playing ball, the better things get.

Drew Mestemaker Takes Accountability After Tulsa Disaster
Coach Morris is a straight shooter, no question, and so let's follow that lead.

So, we mentioned in the pregame yesterday that if yesterday did not have a good presentation, all of the OSU fans who feel jaded with what happened to Coach Gundy would come out in force. And that has happened.

Here's the deal!

He's not our coach anymore. There's no need to get back into the weeds of that situation on social media, but if you want a lengthy segment on why things had to happen, check out my postgame reactions on YouTube.

So, if you're one of those people, here's my question for you... What do we do now? Think of it as an umpire and a manager arguing. When does it stop and everyone move on to the next play? You can't argue for the rest of eternity, and there comes a point where, even if you're right, you're doing more harm than good.

So, again, are you going to continue to be a fan, or are you going to take your ball and go home after one game in a new era with 92 new players?

As per Coach Morris, it was a terrible debut, and there's just no other way to put it. There was nothing about yesterday that will motivate OSU fans to be excited about this new brand, or Coach Morris in particular. And that's disappointing because he's a terrific coach. I still believe he's 1000% the right guy for OSU, and he's going to get this program turned around. But that's only if we let him, which means not jumping off a cliff after one game.

It's okay to be so blown up right now that you can't see straight. That just means you care! But don't take it past that. Leave the "let's fire a guy after one game" out of the equation. It's crazy talk, and it's based on emotion, not sound analysis. And it does OSU absolutely NO good!

But back to the game.

We played slow, we were lethargic, we looked disinterested, and anything but confident. And the play calling, IMO, was in a "phone booth" way more than I thought we'd see.

We didn't stretch the field much, and we didn't throw to our tight end in the middle of the field like I hoped we'd see return to an OSU offense. We didn't hit receivers in position to get yards after the catch, specifically with them moving vertically so they can have a head of steam, and we threw sideways way too much.

We didn't block, and our RBs didn't bust their own holes. Mestemaker either held on to the ball too long, dumped it too fast, threw off the back foot, or heaved up late balls across his body while scrambling against drop-8 coverage.

Our defensive performance in the 1st half was probably the only somewhat of a silver lining. But it too gave up over 100 yards rushing in the 2nd half to a team that won 4 games last year with a G6 schedule. They also gave up over 6.4 yards per play, while we averaged only 4.3. So I can't count that as an overall silver lining either.

We turned the ball over 3 times, didn't win a 50/50 ball right before the half in man coverage, and then had a stupid penalty from one of my favorite players that gave them a 2nd chance to punch in a touchdown, which they did.

We needed momentum, and special teams could have been an area where we could have gained some, but we didn't do anything there either.

This was a disaster ALL the way around! There's just no other way to analyze this. But it's one game, just the 1st game of an Era that I still believe is going to be successful.

And, to make sure we're ALL accountable, I have over-hyped this offense and didn't see any way that Tulsa would stop us. That's on me... My bad! I eat that the same way Drew will eat his performance, or Coach Morris, or anyone else. This team can still end up being what he hoped it would, but obviously the timeline has changed. So, now we have to transition into a "growth" mindset, which, TBH, is disappointing when you pay the QB $3.5 million dollars.

But it is what it is! See ya' next week at Boone Pickens! #GoPokes #OkState

Tulsa Pregame Show...What Do You Want to See in the Eric Morris Debut?
We are just MINUTES away from kicking off the Eric Morris era, and if you needed any more reason to be excited, just listen to Dalton Wasserman.

Wasserman is legit, so when he's THIS excited about so many pieces of this roster, it makes me want to keep a constant supply of orange Kool-Aid handy at ALL times.

And I AIN'T AFRAID to drink it on up either. 😂

Dalton talks about Mestemaker, Hawkins, Bowick and the receiver corps, how highly ranked they are right now, and how highly ranked they could become.

This clip gets me FIRED UP!

LFG!!! 🤠🔥
