The Jenni Carlson Show: Both Daniel and Natalie Bobik were part of the madness in 2004, but it wouldn’t have happened without a tough decision to transfer and a tougher first year in Stillwater.

Twenty years ago, Oklahoma State men’s basketball became a phenomenon. Cowboy games were happenings that brought fans in droves to Gallagher-Iba Arena. Daniel Bobik was part of the show on the court while his wife, Natalie, became part of what was happening in the stands. Remember Cool Chicks Wear Orange? Daniel and Natalie recall that season fondly but say their appreciation was greater because of the season that came before the magical 2003-04 season.
