Oklahoma State’s horse mascot has a new meaning to Les Miles.
When Miles coached the Cowboy football team, he eagerly anticipated the moments when Bullet would run across the turf while the band would play “Ride ‘em Cowboys” in celebration.
As announcer Larry Reece said “Here comes Bullet,” signaling the mascot’s arrival after each Cowboy touchdown Saturday, Miles had a different perspective of the tradition. For Miles, Kansas’ coach, the familiar presence of a horse served as a reminder that OSU was soundly defeating his team.
“I’m standing across the field,” Miles said.
