I wanted to write something positive about CSU basketball today, until I saw the Rams lose to some school called Oklahoma Panhandle State.
Not Oklahoma State. No, I said Oklahoma Panhandle State.
The Aggies. Not the Texas A & M Aggies. The Aggies of Oklahoma Panhandle State.
At this point, you know more than you ever wanted to know about Oklahoma Panhandle State University--and you only most likely know one thing: their nickname.
So, let's make that two. The school is in Goodwell, Oklahoma.
The zip code of Goodwell is 73939. See, you now know three things.
Enough of that, let's move on. If only it was so easy for Colorado State.
On Tuesday night, the Rams lost at home to Oklahoma Panhandle State University, from here on out referred to as OPSU.
They fell to the Aggies 97-91 in OT. The Aggies are a Division II team. Hard to describe just how much of an upset that was...and how upset Rams head coach Tim Miles must be.
Colorado State led by eight at the half, and let a Division II team barge right back on their own floor. Good thing almost nobody goes to CSU basketball games or this would be really sad.
I will take nothing away from OPSU, they play in the Heartland Conference and they showed plenty of heart on Tuesday night.
As for the Rams, time to get some heart and start playing with it.
