Episode Details

Oklahoma State University is well-known for many things and our football program is one of them. The OSU football team has been playing since 1900 and has gone through many changes and challenges. From some of our first successful seasons during World War II to integrating black athletes on campus and even to our rivalry with OU, our university and its football program have shown great progress over the years. This month on Amplified Oklahoma, we are looking at the history of the OSU football program and why there is such an electric and exciting atmosphere surrounding the team. We'll hear interview excerpts from the Oklahoma Oral History Research Program's archives from former players and students alike, who all feel connected to the OSU Cowboys. Later, Clint Chelf, a former OSU quarterback, joins us to talk about his own perspective on the program as a recent player and as a loyal fan. Amplified Oklahoma is a production of the Oklahoma Oral History Research Program at the Oklahoma State University Library.
