In spite of economy, a record year at Oklahoma State
Published: 11/20/2009 2:20 PM

A review of the first eight-game home football schedule in Oklahoma State history:

The Cowboys were 6-2 at Boone Pickens Stadium. They defeated Georgia 24-10, Rice 41-24, Grambling State 56-6, Missouri 33-17, Texas Tech 24-17 and Colorado 31-28. OSU's home losses were dealt by Houston (45-35) and Texas (41-14).

Average attendance: 53,719. A school record. OSU obliterates the old record of 48,254, set last season.

Season-ticket sales: 45,694. A school record. OSU shatters the old record of 39,976, set last season.

Student season-ticket sales: 11,382. A school record.

In spite of a terrible economy, the OSU football program savored unprecedented growth in marketability.
