The sweat is his body crying out for help.

Oklahoma State quarterback Mason Rudolph runs up the steps at Boone Pickens Stadium on a sweltering Friday morning in July. Beads of sweat stream down his face like tears.

His body is being broken,

pushed to the brink of its physical abilities. He hates every second of it. But with each step, a transfor-mation is taking place. Rudolph is getting stronger, building more stamina, becoming equipped with physical skills to make him an elite football player.

Rudolph and his teammates must run up 100 steps and then walk back down to start all over again. The amount of times this process repeats differs based on position. For Rudolph and the other quarter-backs, the number is 18.

It is part of the offseason training Rob Glass, OSU assistant athletic director for speed, strength and conditioning, puts players through. The other exercises don’t get any easier. Glass stresses high-intensity and heavy lifting in his program. The emphasis is on squats and power cleaning, to build a lethal combination of power and speed.

“Our guys come in here and we want them to just have a tenacious, relentless type of training attitude,” Glass said.

***The program is tortuous for

first-timers. But if they can make it through the first year and decide to stay, the transformation is unbeliev-able.

Emmanuel Ogbah was listed at 235 pounds coming out of high school. He’s now listed at 275

pounds on OSU’s roster as a red-shirt junior.

When Rudolph came to Still-water, he was about 205 pounds, he estimated. He’s up to 220. He remembers not being able to stand up straight the day after his first workout because of the surfeit of ab exercises Glass subjected the team to.

Safety Tre Flowers said that his transformation under the guid-ance of Glass has been one of the biggest.

“I came in 155 – 165 soaking wet; that’s what they say,” Flowers said. “But I got a lot stronger and a lot bigger than most people in my class did.”

Flowers is a redshirt sophomore, and has jumped up to 190 pounds in three years’ time. He remembers his first time working out with Glass. After the team ran, Flowers thought the workout was over, but Glass called them into the weight room to start lifting.

“The day after I was so sore,” Flowers said. “I remember doing curls, and I couldn’t even sleep. Just my neck and shoulders, it was crazy.”

Even though he got used to Glass’ intense workouts, they haven’t gotten any easier. Flow-

ers still gets sore sometimes after workout. But the transformation makes it all worth it.

“There’s been times work-ing out with coach Glass that I couldn’t touch my shoulders, couldn’t squeeze my elbows together,” he said. “Before and after, you’re a complete differ-ent person. People go in there and leave looking completely different. It’s just a different feeling.”

Glass has become so well-known for turning lanky high

school kids into chiseled beasts that his program has developed a moniker: Body by Glass. He’s not sure where the name came from, but there’s no denying it fits.

“‘Body by Glass’ means you are sculpted like a Greek god,” Flowers said.

***Glass was born in 1961 in

Newkirk, a town with a popula-tion of about 2,000 people.

He played football for class 2A Newkirk High School because, as he puts it, “pretty much everybody did back then.”

But, he has the most fun hunting and fishing. Those

activities take him to places where it is

quiet and he can sit back and enjoy

nature. One of of-

fensive coor-dinator Mike

Yurcich’s first memories of Glass

is going quail hunting with him. Glass invited several OSU coaches out to his friend’s ranch just south of Ponca City, where the group spent the day fishing and hunting.

He personifies the small-town demeanor.

He doesnt speak unless he feels he has something important to say, which makes players listen more intently when he does talk.

“The terminator,” Flowers said. “You don’t really know what he’s thinking. It’s kind of hard to talk to him sometimes because you don’t really know what to say. You don’t want to say the wrong thing.”

But when it comes time to get down to business, Glass doesn’t hesitate. He knows what he needs to do to get the most out of his players.

“He’s one of the best in the busi-ness,” Rudolph said. “He’s fiery. He’s competitive. He loves bring-ing the jazz every day. That’s his big deal. That’s kind of his slogan. He brings the best out of players.

“He can

be calm and very peaceful, and then he can switch on a dime like that. When he’s working us out, he’s high-energy, high-jazz, and really makes sure you know what you’re doing and lets you know if you’re not doing it the way he feels it

needs to be done.”***

Glass’ career is something out of a dream.

He has worked with two Heis-man trophy winners in Barry Sanders and Danny Wuerffel, and countless All-Americans. He worked them just as hard as he would anyone else.

He still remembers coach Steve Spurrier at Florida telling him to stop making Wuerffel lift so heavy.

When Detroit drafted Sanders, he called Glass to tell him the Lions didn’t like his heavy-lifting either. Sanders was used to do-ing squats and power cleaning, but Detroit wanted him

to try a new

technique.“(They were) trying to get him

on the machines and do some stuff,” Glass said. “I just told him you’ve got to stick with what got you there. But they’re looking at it from an investment standpoint, so they didn’t want him to risk getting hurt. You’ve got that side of it.

“What we do, people don’t real-ize how much we do with these kids. We wear a lot of different hats. We delve in a lot of differ-ent areas. There’s a tremendous amount of time we spend with the kids. Anything from nutrition to flexibility to eye-hand coordination to mental imaging to just power, speed — there’s a lot of things. It’s a lot going on.”

Glass began his career with Oklahoma State as a graduate

assistant after earning his bachelor’s degree in

1984. He worked under strength

coach John Stucky, “the

legend in the field.”

He spent summer and winter under the tutelage of Stucky, watching him develop workouts and train players.

“The big thing from John was just the fundamental foundations of strength training,” Glass said. “He was a big believer in some of the Olympic movement and the power movements. You got exposed to a

guy that, from an Olympic-lifting perspective, was pretty highly acclaimed. That was a good op-portunity to learn and watch the coaching techniques from a guy that was really, really good.”

But after about four years of serving as Glass’ mentor, Stucky left to take a job at Arkansas. Pat Jones, the OSU coach at the time, didn’t have time to search for a replacement because the position opened during a busy recruiting pe-riod. He asked Glass to fill in on an interim basis. In 1989, Glass was hired full time as the strength and conditioning coach.

He stayed until 1995, when he packed his bags for Gainesville to take over as Florida’s coordinator of strength and

condi-tioning.

Fun-nily enough, his teams played against Stucky’s, for his former mentor was now the strength coach at Tennessee. Glass

was part of a program that enjoyed immense success at Florida, play-ing in two national championship games and winning one in 1996.

Glass worked at Florida until 2005, when he received a call from Mike Gundy. Gundy was set to become the new coach at his alma mater, and wanted Glass back. The last time Gundy and Glass had worked together, Gundy, OSU’s quarterback, was working under Glass. But Gundy wanted to change the program, and he felt like Glass could be a part of that.

“That was kind of my greatest challenge: to come back to my alma mater and try to do things that had never been done in the football

program,” Glass said. “We had a tremendous

run at Florida

and

won a lot of SEC

championships, played for two national champion-ships and I thought ‘What greater chal-lenge than to come back to your alma mater and try to put it on a national stage?’”

Nobody knows more about the players than Glass.

“He’s around the guys in the summer more so than probably anybody,” Yurcich said. “Just from a relationship standpoint and get-ting to know some of the players, he has a good pulse on the team. If you need to know anything about a certain individual, you go to coach Glass and he’ll give you the low-down.”

But managing strength and conditioning during the season can be a difficult task. Players have less time to spend in the weight room and more games to play, meaning that even when they do come into the weight room, often times their bodies are already beaten up.

Glass strives for his players to have a high pain tolerance. On Sundays, the workouts are lighter weight, designed for recovery. The players will run, do cardiovascular work and work on flexibility. By Tuesday, the game’s effects have vanished. Players report to the weight room at 6:30 a.m., ready to lift. This is when most of the heavy lifting is done. Thursday, they meet for a primer before the game on Saturday.

Glass spends a lot of time doing research developing these work-outs. It’s not something one would be likely to find at a local gym. They are designed for the purpose of building speed and power, and also in a manner that won’t wear down the players’ bodies too much.

“The sequence order of the exercise is critical,” Glass said. “Recovery is critical. There’s so many things that go into trying to put the thing together to develop mass and still improve athleticism, speed, power, ability to change direction.”

***With the success he has had and

the way he carries himself, Glass commands the respect of both coaches and players.

He’s coached so many great teams and players, and is able to take from his past experiences to teach players the ins-and-outs of being physically prepared for games. But it doesn’t end there.

“He’s one of my favorite coaches on this team,” Rudolph said. “He

can really provide knowledge about the places he’s been, the people he’s coached. Obviously, he’s go-ing to get you right physically, but mentally, he’s going to make you feel right at home.”

The coaches like him because players work with him and come out drastically changed. They are able to absorb harder hits and take the play farther down the field. His focus on recovery after games, getting the players right for the next contest is also something coaches appreciate.

“The biggest thing that I’ve seen is the guys have a very high pain tolerance and the ability to strain over time and continue to do that,” Yurcich said. “You’re going to build that pain tolerance that you

need. You’re not going to have that instantly from high school to college. There’s a transition. Obvi-ously, coach (Glass) has a way to program our guys to understand what that effort level is and what it takes and the ability to endure that pain, and that’s when strength gains occur.”

Although Body by Glass is the nickname, Glass swears that he strives for results on the field instead of how a player looks. A better body might be a result of the work, but it’s not Glass’ ultimate desire.

“Our goal is to build the fastest, most powerful athlete we can,” he said.

The body is just a bonus.

Cowboys will rely on history and defense vs Kansas State

Continued from page 3

[email protected]

History will play in Oklahoma State’s favor on Saturday in its matchup with Kansas State.

The Cowboys haven’t lost to the Wildcats in Stillwater since 1999. OSU is also undefeated against

K-State in Boone Pickens Stadium since its renaming in 2003.

History also guarantees some-thing else: The Wildcats are always competitive under coach Bill Snyder.

“They’re a very disciplined team, and that’s what a typical K-State team is with coach Snyder,” OSU receiver David Glidden said. “You have to give them a lot of credit for

what they do.” The Wildcats enter Saturday’s

contest with a 3-0 record behind a stellar run defense. K-State has yet to face a Big 12 opponent but leads the conference in rushing defense, holding opponents to 78.3 rush-ing yards a game. Louisiana Tech was the first team to rush over the century mark against K-State in a triple-overtime thriller on Sept. 19.

“They’re big and strong,” OSU offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich said. “They defend the ball well. They’re very disciplined. They don’t make many mistakes. They play very strong and aggressive and are very good against the run.”

Not to be outdone, the OSU defense has looked like one of the

best in the country. The Cowboys lead the Big 12 in total defense and have tallied nine turnovers this season. With a defense full of standouts, the Cowboys con-tinue to preach the importance of team during their success.

“That’s how it has to work,” linebacker Ryan Simmons said. “You can’t ever think selfishly. You have to stay within the defense and know what your job is. When you try and do too many other things, then stuff starts getting out of whack.”

With two stellar defenses taking the field with undefeated records on the line, Boone Pick-ens Stadium could be heading for a grudge match.

Student leadership at Oklahoma State University has heard the same phrase for years, a piece of guidance from its longtime and trusted adviser Kent Sampson.

“Always do your homework

so people will listen to you, and remember who you repre-sent,” Sampson said.

Sampson has been through his final senate meeting as ad-viser and asked his final OSU trivia question in his adviser’s report on Wednesday.

Sampson’s trivia questions are a staple of every adviser report at SGA senate meet-ings. The trivia sometimes dealt with obscure minutia such as little-known facts about construction on campus, with other questions involv-ing the names and graduation dates of important student leaders and alumni.

“It’s a heck of a story if

one day we look back and say, ‘Well, the only thing we remember Sampson for is he had something to do with trivia,’” Sampson said. “That may be my only contribution, and they’ll say ‘Well, at least he knew trivia.’”

Trivia began for Sampson five years ago, when senators commented on the amount of time he’d been at OSU. Initially, he offered trivia at every meeting, but in the last two years, senators asked at the end of his report if he had any trivia.

Each question at senate meetings carried a Chick-Fil-

NEW CHAPTER FOR CAMPUS LIFEBy Catherine Wilson

The Oklahoma State University office of Campus Life has a new name and a new leader. Dr. John Mark Day is the new director of the office of Leadership and Campus Life. He replaces the retiring Kent Sampson. “We want to give every student at Oklahoma State the opportunity to learn to be a leader,” Day said. “I believe that every student in college has potential to lead, so I want to make sure that every student who graduates from OSU has had that chance to learn to lead.”

Prior to the name change, Leadership and Campus Life took a more passive role on campus, acting as a service department for students. The office is shifting to be more active with students and emphasize leadership opportunities. Day is eager to work with the team in Leadership and Campus Life and join in their efforts to provide students with a well-rounded college experience. “I think really deep, enriched learning happens for students outside of the classroom, and I want to make sure that we are giving that opportunity to students and continuing to offer programs

that really contribute to a student’s education,” Day said. Day brings 13 years of student affairs experience with him from Texas Christian University. Brandon Mitts, OSU Allied Arts director and a member of the Campus Life team that developed the rebranding of the office, is looking forward to Day’s fresh perspective. “He has a long history at TCU and has done a great job there,” Mitts said. “What I liked hearing about him was how much the students loved him. And the first thing I heard from him in his interviews was being student-centered and focused on student success, and that’s what we’re all about.” While Leadership and Campus Life works to be a more active office, they have no intention of forcing students to be involved. “Being a student in college means that you need to take responsibility for your education,” Day said. “But it’s my job to make sure students have those options available to them. I can’t force them to get involved, but I want to take away any barriers to make sure they have all the opportunities to get plugged in and build their leadership skills.” For more information about the office of Leadership and Campus Life, visit lcl.okstate.edu. Students can visit Dr. Day in his office at 232A Student Union. For more information about the office of Leadership and Campus Life, visit lcl.okstate.edu.

The university will celebrate Kent Sampson’s 46 years of hard work and passion for students

at Oklahoma State University.

-A lunch with Sampson as a reward. He said his knowledge of OSU history comes from his time on campus and from a class he teaches to educate faculty and staff.

“I teach it as a class, on Aug. 19 most recently,” Samp-son said. “I teach it two or three times a year for faculty and staff employees called OSU Culture 101, and it’s all about the history of OSU.”

Originally from a small farm southwest of Chickasha, Sampson completed his bach-elors’ degrees in psychology and sociology at Southwestern Oklahoma State University. At SWOSU, Sampson was presi-dent of the student body and active in student government.

He arrived in Stillwater

in 1969 to pursue a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and be-came involved with residential life as a graduate assistant.

During this time, Sampson realized he could continue to do something he loved as a career. Sampson said he’s always enjoyed working with young people, and once he discovered he could be more than just a volunteer, he said he decided to make a change.

Opting to pursue a master’s degree in psychology instead of a doctorate, Sampson began working for residential life full time. Sampson worked his way up in the department for 28 years.

From 1971 to 1977, Samp-son served as the Residence Hall Association program director acting as its adviser.

He worked with RHA during tumultuous times for residence

halls because of student op-position to female hours in the

halls. “I’ll always remember

groups — I mean we’re talking well over 1,000 or so students — walking from residence hall to residence hall late at night,” Sampson said. “They went from men and women’s halls chanting ‘No more hours, no more hours.’”

Sampson spent the next 20 years in residential life as the department changed and evolved. In 1997, Sampson was chosen as the new Direc-tor of Leadership and Campus Life, as part of a reorganiza-tion of the department.

He’s also built relationships with countless student leaders. Clint Duncan graduated with a finance degree last spring and

spent three years working with Sampson in SGA, including one as senate chairman.

Duncan said Sampson put students first and influenced the chairman as a leader.

“I was able to learn from Kent what it’s like to be genuine and fair to everyone he encountered,” Duncan said. “Kent has so much knowledge about leadership and providing guidance.”

Duncan and Sampson often had conversations about simple SGA questions and topics, but Duncan said it often turned into an inspirational and encourag-ing discussion about life, and every meeting involved candy and a pop quiz on OSU.

“That’s something only a special mentor in your life can do,” Duncan said. “Every

meeting I had with Kent he would usually have gummy bears or some sort of candy with him, as well as a trivia question.”

But not all of Sampson’s time at OSU involved fun and hap-piness. Sampson remembers instances of tragedy where he was amazed at how the students and the campus responded.

On Jan. 27, 2001, a plane carrying members of the OSU basketball team crashed in a Colorado snowstorm. Sampson said he vividly remembers the night of the crash and the fol-lowing vigil in Gallagher-Iba Arena.

Sampson heard about the crash late that Saturday evening and came to campus to be with students. He went first to the basketball offices in Cordell Hall during the renovation of

GIA, only to find them empty, for the staff had gone to the Stillwater Airport to gather information.

Instead of going to the crowd of students and community members gathered at the air-port, Sampson walked across Hall of Fame Avenue to talk with students at Bennett Hall.

He said the way students stayed strong that night and packed the arena the follow-ing Wednesday for a memorial service was incredible.

“The following Wednesday at Gallagher-Iba, I remember the place filling up with people supporting the team,” Sampson said. “I remember how uplift-ing that service was for people that were there, particularly the families, at a time when it was so difficult.”

Sampson is a self-described

“outdoor guy with an indoor job,” and said he wants to spend time at his family farm in Chickasha. Sampson’s wife, Shelia, jokingly said his favorite hobby has always been working on the farm.

“I’ve always teased him that his main hobby is if he could get out on a field and plow it,” she said. “He loves plowing, he loves being on his tractor and he loves being outside.”

He said to be able to get outside and work is his own way to relax and destress, but didn’t rule out the possibility of coming back in a part-time role, possibly with the library’s Oklahoma Oral History Re-search program.

Sampson said he wants to spend more time with his grandsons from Atlanta, one of who still thinks Camp Cowboy

is an everyday event his grand-father coordinates.

During senate meetings lead-ing up to his retirement, Samp-son referred to his departure as having the senate “vote me off the island.” He said he’d stick around briefly through October, but be distant enough to allow for a smooth transition to his successor, John Mark Day.

At his final senate meeting Wednesday, Sampson asked his last trivia question about how many NCAA national champi-onships OSU has won and held back tears as he was unani-mously honored by the senate as “Adviser Emeritus.”

And with another unanimous vote, Sampson was formally voted off the island.

At least temporarily.
