Cowboy carnage
When Oklahoma State notches a big victory, it does more than just win.
It costs someone their job.
OSU has scored its biggest wins of the season against Texas Tech and Nebraska. The Cowboys outlasted the Red Raiders, 49-45, in Stillwater about a month ago. Then last weekend, they throttled the Cornhuskers, 45-14, in Lincoln.
The day after the Tech game, Red Raider defensive coordinator Lyle Setencich quit, citing personal reasons. My guess is, his personal reasons had something to do with head coach Mike Leach asking him to step down. Call me crazy, but that seems entirely likely after Tech rolled up 718 yards of offense and lost.
Then Monday, only two days after the Huskers’ worst loss in half a decade, they fired athletic director Steve Pederson. Safe to say, Pederson was probably on his way out sometime this academic year, but an embarrassing loss to the Cowboys was the final straw.
Had the Huskers just kept Saturday’s game close, Pederson be the Nebraska AD right now. But the Cowboys stepped on the Huskers’ jugular, and Pederson is on the unemployment line.
Safe to say, there’s a lot on the line these next few weeks when Kansas State, Kansas and Texas roll into Stillwater.
Maybe even someone’s job.

O-State fans are bigger losers than the team they root for. You all loved this lady before she wrote about your wossie QB
Jenni Carlson has never been a favorite of most Cowboy fans, however, we tolerated her “stories” as her opinion, and of course we knew who signed her paycheck. But when she attacked an amature athlete it was the final straw. In my opinion, the majority of the Cowboy fans are ready to move on — Now if we can get the car dealers and the biased OKC media to let it rest, we will have accomplished something!
Josh, I’m an OSU graduate! This episode has made our Coach look silly and it’s time to move on!
Move on and BEAT K-State!
No more shots at Jenni please. She is just doing a job!

Ted, I am also an OSU graduate, stand up for something if you believe in it…She’s a horrible journalist & I would rather she not say anything about my school. I can’t stand for antagonistic journalism & therefore thats why I voice an opinion.
Beat K-State..See ya Saturday
Jenni Carlson is a professional sports writer and she is entitled to write her views!
Grow up and get over it Cowboy fans!
