OSU Notebook

Wet workout: The Oklahoma State football team arrived in San Diego on Wednesday night. On Thursday night, the Cowboys were in full pads for a two-hour practice session at the University of San Diego.

During most of the session, the Cowboys were soaked by steady rain. Coach Mike Gundy called it a driving rainstorm.

On Tuesday, 13th-ranked OSU faces 15th-ranked Oregon in the Holiday Bowl at Qualcomm Stadium. The Cowboys will practice each day before the game, but team activities also are scheduled for Friday (a tour of the San Diego Zoo), Saturday (a trip to SeaWorld) and Sunday (lunch aboard the USS Bonhomme Richard).

"I think (the Cowboys) are a mentally tough team," Gundy said. "We practiced three times (in Stillwater) before we came out here, and the wind chill was about 10 degrees.

"During a bowl practice, at times it can be difficult to get results from a team, but these guys understand that there is work that has to be done."

Not involved: Terrance Anderson, used as a nickel back in the secondary, is one of three OSU players who did not make the trip to San Diego. Also remaining in Stillwater were backup offensive lineman Trent Perkins and freshman cornerback Markelle Martin.

Gundy would not elaborate on any reason why the players did not travel to the bowl game.

Cole update: Gundy confirmed that sophomore wide receiver William Cole, who had been a highly regarded recruit from Cedar Hill, Texas, was dismissed from the program during the regular season.

Cole sustained a serious knee injury during the preseason and did not play this year. Academically, he finished the semester at OSU while recovering from the injury. Gundy said he does not know whether Cole intends to transfer and resume his career elsewhere. By BILL HAISTEN, World sports writer
