Oklahoma State decided to troll Oklahoma with a specific song choice directed towards head coach Lincoln Riley.
Rivalry week had its fair share of thrills and excitement. Michigan defeated Ohio State to clinch a spot in the Big Ten championship, while Alabama beat Auburn in four overtimes to win the Iron Bowl. For the Bedlam Series on Saturday night, Oklahoma State decided to get in the heads of Oklahoma.
During the broadcast, you can hear the Garth Brooks song “Callin’ Baton Rouge” playing on the speakers at Boone Pickens Stadium. Of course, this was a way to poke fun at the rumors of Sooners head coach Lincoln Riley leaving for the LSU Tigers vacancy at the end of the year.
If you listen closely in the background -- Boone Pickens Stadium is blasting "Calling Baton Rouge".

Oklahoma State pokes fun at Lincoln Riley to LSU rumors
The Cowboys chose violence as they tried to get in the heads of their in-state rivals.
Of course, rumors were rampant on message boards this week that Riley would leave his job at Oklahoma to take the LSU vacancy left by Ed Orgeron. Whether this happens or not remains to be seen, despite the fact that Riley shut down the rumors earlier this month.
Oklahoma State have already clinched a spot in the Big 12 title game, but this rivalry game had huge implications. If they were to defeat the Sooners, they would knock them out of contention for the Big 12 championship game. If they lost, they would face off against Oklahoma in a rematch next weekend.
The Cowboys saw the rumors and opted to play LSU’s song to rattle Riley and the Sooners.
