Oklahoma State Football: Oklahoma State began playing football in 1901 when it posted a 2-3 record.

The football team originally was known as the Agriculturists, then the Aggies, sometimes the Farmers, and later, the Tigers. Eventually the team became the Cowboys.


The Oklahoma A&M Aggies joined their first conference for the start of the 1915 season, the Southwest Conference.

In 1925, Oklahoma A&M joined the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MVIAA). 

In 1928, the MVIAA split into the Big Six Conference and the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC). A&M was the only large school that joined the smaller MVC. 

In 1956, A&M announced it was joining (or rejoining) what had become the Big Seven for the 1958–59 academic year. As part of a transition period, the Cowboys went independent for two years. 

In 1958, the school became a part of the renamed Big Eight Conference.

In 1988, OSU and the NCAA released the results of an unusual joint investigation. The report detailed a staggering litany of misconduct dating to before the Jimmy Johnson era, principally involvement in a "bidding war" for high school phenom Hart Lee Dykes. The Cowboys were slapped with four years' probation, a three-year bowl ban and a two-year ban from live television. However, the most serious long-term sanction was a limit of 20 scholarships from 1989 to 1992 (as a result of the sanctions, the Cowboys only had one winning season from 1989 to 2001). In 1996, OSU joined with the other Big Eight schools and four schools from the old Southwest Conference to form the Big 12 Conference.

Jimmy Johnson coached Oklahoma State from 1979 to 1983. He left with a 29-25-3 record. Les Miles coached the Cowboys from 2001 to 2004. He compiled a 28-21 record before leaving to become LSU's head coach.

Current head coach Mike Gundy was named as Miles' successor and the 22nd head coach at Oklahoma State. He has compiled a 126-62 record at Oklahoma State since becoming head coach in 2005.

On October 29, 2016, Mike Gundy recorded his 100th victory as a head coach with a 37-20 win over # 10 West Virginia. Gundy is the only Oklahoma State football coach to record 100 victories.

Gundy is one of three head football coaches at Oklahoma State to have played for Oklahoma State, along with Jim Lookabaugh and Floyd Gass. Gundy played at Oklahoma Lite from 1990 to 1993. He was a wide receiver, then a record-setting quarterback. Prior to becoming the Cowboys' head coach, he was Oklahoma State's offensive coordinator from 1994 - 1995. In 1996, he was passing game coordinator at Baylor. From 1997 to 2000, he was passing game coordinator at Maryland From 2001 to 2004, he was Oklahoma State's assistant head coach and offensive coordinator, under Miles. Gundy is known for being emotional, including his infamous "I'm 40" outburst at a reporter. Watch: here  

After posting a 9–3 regular season record in 2008, Gundy received a new seven-year contract worth $15.7 million. 


Gundy's tenure as head coach of the Cowboys has seen the rise of Oklahoma State's football program. 

The Cowboys began the 2009 season ranked #9 in the country in the AP Top 25, but the dreams of a miracle season were crushed when the Pokes lost, 45-35, to the unranked Houston Cougars at home the following week, and later learned that star wide receiver Dez Bryant was ruled ineligible for the remainder of the season, for lying to the NCAA about having contact with Deion Sanders. 

In 2010, the Cowboys recorded the first 11-win season in Oklahoma State history. 

On December 3, 2011, the Cowboys won their first Big-12 Championship with a 44-10 victory over Oklahoma. The third-ranked Cowboys beat fourth-ranked Stanford in overtime, 41-38, on January 2, 2012, in the Fiesta Bowl.

The school has a 19-10 record for the 29 bowl games in which it has appeared. 

The Cowboys are 4-3 in the six major bowl games (Rose, Peach, Cotton, Sugar, Fiesta and Orange), with their biggest win being over Stanford in the 2012 Fiesta Bowl. 

One Cowboy, running back Barry Sanders, has won the Heisman Trophy (1988).

Oklahoma State Football Stadium: Oklahoma State plays in Boone Pickens Stadium. The stadium was built in 1919. It is the oldest FBS stadium west of the Mississippi. The stadium's field is positioned in an east-west configuration, to avoid the strong prevailing winds of northern Oklahoma. The stadium is one of a very few major college football stadiums with an east-west configuration.

In 2003, Oklahoma State alumnus T. Boone Pickens made an historic donation to the university for improvements to its athletic facilities, and it was announced that the stadium would be renamed in his honor. The latest renovation of the football stadium was completed in 2009, with the current capacity at 60,218. The surface is Field Turf. There are 111 suites and 3,500 club seats. In 2013, the 92,000-square-foot Sherman E. Smith Training Center and indoor practice facility was completed. The facility is surrounded by three new practice fields -- two grass fields and one artificial.
