Sydney Jones: Howdy Pokes! Welcome back to “Stuff OSU Should Know” and it’s time to get deep into October, um Halloween is coming up, it’s gonna be so good, um party hard but study harder. 

Max Williams : Football unfortunately lost at Iowa State in Ames and is on a losing streak but looks to bounce back. Cross country is in the thick of the season and on the hunt for another Big 12 championship. Men's tennis just hosted the Big 12 SEC challenge and did fairly well. Soccer is on a roll and has a record of 10 and 2 with a major month coming up in hopes to win the Big 12. There are a multitude of home games and everyone should attend. Both basketball teams officially started practice last week and are both on the hunt for a March Madness win. Finally OSU takes on K-State, Friday, October 6th at 6:30 and is a blackout game, wear black.  

Camryn Warren: All right on a different note, um, we have a football game every weekend this month. Um, so the times are, October 6th, home game vs Kansas State. The 14th, home game vs Kansas. The 21st, away game vs West Virginia. And a home game on the 28th vs Cincinnati. Come support the Cowgirl soccer team from a far this month during their six away games.

Softball, we have all home games so come out and support. On the 1st, the 3rd, the 10th, the 17th, the 19th, the 22nd and the 26th. And then for cross country we have, um, from 8-11 am on the 28th we have cowgirl and cowboy Big 12 vs Iowa.

The percussion ensemble has a concert on the 22nd at 5, and the women's ensemble has a concert on the 24th at 7:30 and there's always concerts at The Tumbleweed if you can go to those, do some dancing as well. 

Camryn Warren: I'm back! Pete's Pet Posse! I love this, you guys collect all the cards, it's awesome, they're like Pokémon cards. Reminder, you can see some of our therapy dogs in Edmond Low, every Monday from 12-1. I know a lot of us have exams, this is gonna be really awesome, um, opportunity.

There will be a money habitude session in the general academic building on the 16th from 12-1, that's where you can go and learn how to manage your finances and ways to pay tuition and it's always good to build good money habits. 

Sydney Jones: Also you can um, it enters you in a give away to get $200 towards your tuition and they stack so if you go to all three of them you get $1000. 

Brett Bozarth: So yeah, go do that!
