Six Cowboys make All-Tournament

With the Cowboys dominating performance this past weekend, six of the team members received the nod for the All-Tournament team in the Fayetteville Regional. No other team in the Regional received more than three players on the team. The Cowboys that made the All-Tournament team where senior pitcher Oliver Odle, junior right fielder Corey Brown, senior center fielder Keanon Simon, senior left fielder Ty Wright, senior second baseman Tyler Mach and junior first baseman Rebel Ridling. Ridling was also named the Fayetteville Regional Most Outstanding Player. “It’s an honor and I was pretty excited about being named Outstanding Player, but I am more excited that we won,” Ridling said.

Since the end of the spring semester, life for the Cowboy baseball team has been up and down. OSU followed its best winning streak of the season with its worst losing streak of the year.

For the first time in eight years the Cowboy baseball team advanced out of an NCAA Regional to move on to a Super Regional. The Cowboys will battle in a three-game series against the University of Louisville.

As all of us in Stillwater know, the end of April and the beginning of May held an abundance of rainfall. So much rain, in fact, that it actually flooded the rental property I have called home for more than two years.

This past Sunday Paris Hilton began her jail sentence by checking in to a Los Angeles County Jail. Despite all the appeals, petitions and protests, Paris is finally behind bars. While many may feel satisfied and humored with the execution of her sentence, this is still yet another publicity opportunity for Paris.

You can tell summer has arrived when the lake is warm, the grill is hot and the responsibilities of school have been poured out like a warm half-empty beer.

Many students departed Stillwater after the spring semester was over. They were off to get jobs, return to parents or simply vacation. OSU turned into a ghost town with barren streets and empty parking lots.

It’s no secret that gas prices are entirely too high for the average consumer. Normally riding a bike or any number of fuel-free transport alternatives would be suggested, but if you’ve been outside you would know that it’s, well, less than pleasant — even in the shade.

The summer of 2007 is the season of the album (or so the record companies would have us believe).

Summer is the season of barbecues, trips to the lake, late nights and, this year, movie sequels. All your favorite movies are back in parts two, three and four: “Hostel: Part II,” “Shrek the Third,” “Spider-Man 3,” “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End,” “Live Free or Die Hard” (aka “Die Hard 4”) and others. Catch these flicks as the summer of the sequel begins:

Stillwater residents may have to start looking for new routes of transportation this summer due to massive amounts of construction work.

Three of OSU students’ favorite businesses, Cecil’s, Leo’s, and Fazoli’s, closed this summer. After being closed for several months, House of Greek is reopening on Sixth Avenue this week.

Friday’s storm scattered up to 7 inches of rainfall across the city, shutting down streets and businesses, officials said.

Small children were drawn to this colt and her mother during Saturday’s mini horse show. The Oklahoma Miniature Horse Club, Inc. hosted a show Saturday at the Payne County Expo Center. About 300 people attended the show, which featured about 65 miniature horses from Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas and Colorado. The OMHCI is enthusiastic about bringing [...]
