OSU won’t divulge details on pregame video
Published: 9/2/2010 10:21 AM

Last year, OSU’s pregame video featured a song – “Cowboys Forever” – that was written and performed by Stillwater’s John Martin, and the students just hated it.

H-a-t-e-d it.

Every time the song was played at Boone Pickens Stadium, the students responded with a chorus of boos. OSU officials were stung by the response.

The 2010 season begins on Saturday, and I have no idea what the pregame video might look and sound like. I’ve asked Mike Holder several times, and his response was a terse “no comment.”

Several seasons ago, the pregame video song was Aerosmith’s “Back in the Saddle.” It worked well. “Back in the Saddle” would make sense again this season and next season and beyond. It rocks effectively and has a cowboy theme.

Thanks Bill, I'd wondered why we hadn't heard anything. I hope they keep the "Ready for War" beat from last season as the players came down the ramp. Everyone L-O-V-E-D it!

Back in the saddle is a great idea Bill.

I just hope/pray that it's not The SOWNDS "stand up cowboys" song..

Cowboys4Ever was the worst thing in the history of the world.

Ever.

Silent Long Enough, have you heard the Sownds song yet? Take horrible rap and country and throw it in a blender with a couple sticks of eye liner and spray tan.

What do you get? Crap.

How about using (I'm a) "Cowboy" by Kid Rock?!
