Oklahoma State Traditions

The Traditions

Oklahoma State's traditions are deeply woven into every game day. The 'Paddle People' wave oversized orange paddles after every Cowboy score, creating a signature visual.

Pregame Rituals

Before kickoff, watch for Bullet, the black quarter horse, galloping across the field with a rider carrying the OSU flag — it's one of college football's most thrilling entrances. The crowd sings the alma mater after every game, win or lose, linking arms and swaying together.

In-Game Moments

And when the Cowboys score, be ready for the deafening pistol-firing hand gesture from 55,000 fans accompanied by the 'Pistols Firing' chant.
