Bedlam Series
open-in-new
<h2 id="football">Football</h2> <p>The first Bedlam football game was held at Island Park, now known as Mineral Wells Park, in <a href="/facts/Guthrie%2c_Oklahoma/UbI36VKA">Guthrie, Oklahoma</a>. It was a cold and extremely windy day, with temperatures well below the freezing mark. At one point during the game when the Oklahoma A&M Aggies were punting, the wind carried the ball backwards behind the kicker. If the Oklahoma A&M squad recovered the ball it would be a touchback, but if the University of Oklahoma squad recovered it, it would be a touchdown. The ball rolled down a hill into the half-frozen creek. Since a touchdown was at stake, members of both teams dove into the icy waters to recover the ball. A member of the OU team came out with the ball and downed it for a touchdown. OU won the game, 75–0.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a> The rivalry has now been played without interruption since 1910, and alternates between the two respective campuses. Since 2011, games in odd-numbered years are contested in Stillwater, Oklahoma, on the campus of OSU, and games in even-numbered years in Norman, Oklahoma at OU. </p><p>In 2007, author Steve Budin, whose father was a New York bookie, publicized a claim that the 1954 Bedlam Game was fixed by mobsters in his book <i>Bets, Drugs, and Rock & Roll</i> (<a href="/facts/ISBN_(identifier)/15AdSPa9">ISBN</a> 1-60239-099-1).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a> Allegedly, the mobsters threatened and paid off a cook to slip laxatives into a soup consumed by many OU Sooner starting players, causing them to fall violently ill in the days leading up to the game. OU was victorious in the end, but the 14–0 win did not cover the 20-point spread in OU's favor. However, many people involved in the 1954 contest do not recall any incident like the one purported by Budin to have occurred.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:10" href="#fn:10"><sup>10</sup></a> Nor do any pregame and postgame newspaper articles mention any such condition. One possible reason for the Sooners' lackluster performance, according to one coach, was that the players were "beat up" from the previous game against Nebraska.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:11"

basketball</h2> <p>Since 1916, Oklahoma has led the all-time series record in men's basketball with a record of 135–106. The Sooners have won 20 of the last 37 meetings. However, the Cowboys have gone 11–6 against the Sooners since the end of Travis Ford's tenure as head coach. The Sooners swept the Cowboys in 2018–2019, giving Oklahoma its seventh Bedlam sweep since 2006, including the 2013–2014, 2014–2015 and 2015–2016 regular season Bedlam series. Oklahoma State has swept three times in that span, during the 2016–2017, 2020–2021 and 2022–2023 regular seasons. The two teams have met seven times in the <a href="/facts/Big_12_men%2527s_basketball_tournament/XR6XxmWp">Big 12 tournament</a>, where the Cowboys have gone 6–1 against the Sooners.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:13" href="#fn:13"><sup>13</sup></a> The Sooners have swept the Cowboys most recently in the 2024 season in both meetings, with the most recent being by a buzzer beater three-pointer. After Oklahoma left the Big 12 to become an SEC member starting with the 2024–25 collegiate athletic season, in September 2024, the Sooners and Cowboys announced an agreement to continue the series as a non-conference matchup starting that year, beginning with a <a href="/facts/Home_advantage/FDLem0tC">neutral venue</a> game held in December 2024 at the <a href="/facts/Paycom_Center/QPvRKyrW">Paycom Center</a> in Oklahoma City.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:14" href="#fn:14"><sup>14</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:15" href="#fn:15"><sup>15</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="wrestling">Wrestling</h2> <p>Oklahoma State holds a lopsided advantage in the schools' wrestling rivalry, the original "Bedlam Series."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:16" href="#fn:16"><sup>16</sup></a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:17" href="#fn:17"><sup>17</sup></a> Wrestling Bedlam began in 1920. Football Bedlam began in 1904. The Cowboys wrestling program currently holds a 152–27–10 record against the Sooners, which is all the more remarkable considering that both schools have long been national powers in wrestling. Oklahoma has won seven team national championships in its history, while Oklahoma State's wrestling program has a record thirty-four team national titles.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:18" href="#fn:18"><sup>18</sup></a> Oklahoma State has earned 145 individual NCAA titles and 492 <a href="/facts/All-American/kF5YB2Ib">All-American</a> honors compared to Oklahoma's 67 individual championships and 278 All-Americans. </p><p>Oklahoma will continue to wrestle in the Big 12 even after all its other sports join the SEC.
