Poll Results: Mixed Feelings Over Football/Hoops Excitement
On to the comments …David S: It’s Homecoming weekend during the football season! We have an undefeated nationally ranked opponent coming to Stillwater. Ask again in mid January.Good at Crootin: “More excited” about? basketball. Doesn’t mean i won’t be screaming at my TV every Saturday for the next 2 months (I will be). But i am pumped to see what Underwood can do this to existing squad and the newcomers. Can he turn any of the 4 or 5 SFs we have on roster into the next Thomas Walkup? Defense first? Treadmill on the side of the court during practice? Hell yes, i’m all in.OSU Student: I am still more excited for football, because its the dead middle of the season and we are two lost fumbles on the road against a top 10 undefeated team away from being undefeated ourselves (by rule).That being said, I am super excited for this basketball season. We always underachieve ever since Eddie left, but that was mostly due to the work of Sean and Travis. I truly believe Brad Underwood can be the guy here. I’m drinking allllll the kool-aid!! We won’t win the conference or anything crazy like that, but we could definitely make the tournament this year and that would be a huge plus in BU’s first season. He’s also a hard, confident recruiter going after the big name kids and I absolutely love that.T-Bone: Our football team is on the verge of doing something great. I don’t think they have played great yet but there is opportunity until we lose a game. So I ma still excited about football. The fat guy has lateraled the ball but he hasn’t sung yet. The B12 Championship is still available to us.If you’re looking for the comments section, it has moved to our forum, The Chamber.

I have to say I’m pretty surprised a these poll results. Although I shouldn’t be considering Brad Underwood has been doing state-wide toasts to GIA all month.Almost as many of you are as excited about this upcoming basketball season as you are about a football team that is 5-2 (*6-1) and squarely in the mix of the Big 12 title race in late October. I mean, I understand it, but still … OSU is still in the mix for the Big 12 title in football!I know a lot of this hinges on not looking good against Kansas and the Big 12 title race effectively being over for OSU if it loses this Saturday, but rarely does a hoops team that goes 3-15 the year before garner this kind of love. Of course rarely does a coach bring the optimism Underwood has brought to the STW.I’m with the majority here because I still believe in this football team (maybe foolishly), but I’m also more excited about Saturdays in mid-January than I’ve been in a long, long time.Poll question today: As an #okstate fan, which season are you more excited about?— Pistols Firing (@pistolsguys) October 25, 2016
