It didn’t take long for Eric Morris to spark the competitive juices of Oklahoma State fans.
In front of more than 1,000 Cowboy fans on Monday, Morris took a clear stance on the Bedlam rivalry. He wants OSU to face the Sooners on a football field again in the near future.
“I’d love to get on the phone with anybody that we know that could help us bring that game back,” Morris said. “If they’re asking if Coach Morris welcomes that game, I’d welcome it with open arms.”
OSU officially introduced Morris as its new football coach at an event on campus Monday, and it was moments like that, among others, in which it became clear that Morris is a strong fit to be the architect of a new era of Cowboy football in Stillwater.
