How Cowboys and Sooners became Bedlam buddies off field

Heather Dinich explains what is at stake this weekend when Oklahoma and Oklahoma State face off in their annual rivalry game.

Football players from rival schools are not supposed to be friends.

They are not supposed to hang out.

And they are absolutely, positively not supposed to go on spring break together.

But this Saturday when Oklahoma and Oklahoma State clash in Stillwater for the 110th edition of the Bedlam Series, that won’t be the case. Because while sharing the common experience of playing in the same football-rabid state, more than a dozen Cowboys and Sooners on both sides have grown to be very good friends.
