This reads more like a college newspaper article than an encyclopedia entry. ... discospinster 20:40, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

I made some improvements to make it seem more like a Wikipedia article while maintaining objectivity. Tmrobertson 00:22, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

And it seems like some can't live without Wikipedia slobbering over their little cow school. Jeez, and you wonder why no one takes them seriously... Tmrobertson 00:26, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sports journalism

This is the worst example of "sports journalism" on Wikipedia I've ever seen. It needs a complete rewrite as its current form is simply riddled with POV language and cheerleading. I'll get to it sometime soon when I have a lot of time. (ESkog)(Talk) 01:31, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Nobody is slobbering over this "cow school", and most everyone takes us seriously. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.141.77.186 (talk • contribs) 22:40, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

That above comment doesn't make sense. Anyways, this thing is a complete mess and I've tagged it as both needed to be wikipediaized and for NPOV. Shamrox 23:36, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rewrite complete

Got rid of all the unnecessary bolding, and a lot of the cheerleading. Rewrote pretty much the entire article to try to be free of NPOV. Some of the article still needs some sources, but otherwise I'm much happier with it now than before. Any thoughts/concerns? (ESkog)(Talk) 01:16, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merging Oklahoma State University - Stillwater section on athletics to this article

Clearly OSU athletics has enough depth to warrant its own article. Also, OSU athletics should be mentioned on the university's article. We should have some kind of recap of this article in Oklahoma State University - Stillwater and use {{Main}}. See how Michigan State University handles this.
