Policies announced for scrimmage
FROM OSU ATHLETICS OFFICE
STILLWATER, Okla. – Fans who plan on attending Saturday’s Oklahoma State football open scrimmage should be advised that gate six on the south side of Boone Pickens Stadium will open at 4:30 p.m. This will be the only point of entry into the stadium. Fans should park in the stadium south lot and should sit in the south stands. The club level and suite level will be closed. Fans should not bring cameras, video cameras or cell phone cameras into the stadium.
Fans are permitted to bring chair-back seats and seat cushions into the stadium for this scrimmage, but will not be allowed to on gamedays during the season. This is a new policy for 2008. Another new policy is that the stadium gates will open 1 1/2 hours before kickoff on gamedays during the season, as opposed to two hours prior to kickoff as in past years.

Will Robinson play Saturday?
By Scott Wright
As you saw in today’s OSU football notebook, Mike Gundy is thinking about some different ways to create separation between Brandon Weeden and Alex Cate in their backup QB battle.
He mentioned the possibility of holding Robinson out of Saturday’s scrimmage. But that isn’t all about Weeden and Cate.
“Zac doesn’t really need to prove anything. We know where we’re at with him,” Gundy said. “One thing that Zac does is he fatigues himself, because he goes hard all the time, runs all the time.”
Gundy also talked Thursday about how pleased he has been through the first week of fall camp.
“I really like where we’re at with the team,” he said. “I think we’re in good shape. We don’t have a lot of fat on the team. Guys are coming together. We have good chemistry. Other than (running back Keith) Toston, we’ve stayed healthy. We haven’t had anybody else that has gotten injured since we started.
“We’re in good shape. We just have to keep practicing hard and get ready for the scrimmage Saturday and just let guys go out and play.”
The scrimmage begins at 5 p.m. inside Boone Pickens Stadium and is open to the public.
