OSU SPIRIT THINK!!!!!

Taylor Vazquez, Jennifer Dobie, Amy Hall

As of October 19, 2010 it is raining and extremely windy, and everyone is running for their lives to stay warm and dry. Quite frankly we, the students of Oklahoma State University, believe it is the voodoo work of our arch nemesis, Oklahoma University, because we had an amazing video blog to show every one of you the true spirit and love of the OSU Fans of America that outweighs any other Universities (-cough- like OU…). Plus putting our spirit and morale into words is kind of difficult because it should be experienced and “seeing is believing”, but here it goes.

Currently if you were not aware the week of October 18- 23 of 2010, it is HOMECOMING!! This is when our spirit is on steroids. Currently as I type, I simply want to put this in all caps, but then I realized that it might be a tad over bearing. It is because I am in the current “OSU Spirit Think”. Regardless the students are always in this mode, but I am just hyped from the spirit of homecoming. Now I bet you are wondering, “OSU Spirit Think? What?” Come let’s take a stroll and we will converse about it together. We came to this idea of __Think, and it is the mindset of any certain group that you put in the blank so to speak. We came to realize that Oklahoma State University students have a certain mindset that is completely universal throughout the campus.

OSU Spirit Think 101:

1:  On game days OSU students turn to their primal roots. We get a tad crazy in the stadiums from all of us screaming and cheering to the full body paint and costumes.

2:  Anyone from OSU will tell you, we bleed and cry orange. Just that simple, we were born that way.

3:   We also strongly believe we are born an aggie and we will die an aggie. So I can assure you that my coffin will be orange, I’ll be dressed in OSU attire, and I will have all the football players sign a football and place it in my cold hands, as for my song, the Alma Mater.

4:   Having the Best Tailgating to up our morale is a must.

5:    We over do the orange attire! Like to the extreme.  Even down to our undergarments!!!!

6:    We take the symbol of the finger pistol as a sign of friendship, not gang violence related. Word.

7.       Some people paint their bodies during the whole week of homecoming. Girls tan orange for the spirit of OSU!

8.       We even camp out in front of the stadium weeks in advance from the game.

9.       We break out into the fight song  and Alma Mater even when we are in line to get in 2 hours in advance

10.   Our spirit through out the day is like “High School Muscical” on crack. Yes, we dance and sing on tables, including on the stands.

As I said some of this might sound kind of ludicrous but if you see and experience the pride of OSU, you would understand more in depth.

Oh side note- We will put up the video once the weather turns nice and we can see our campus turn orange
