was fixed by mobsters in his book Bets, Drugs, and Rock & Roll (). 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. 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. Game results Men's basketball Since 1916, Oklahoma has led the all-time series record in men's basketball with a record of 134-105. The Sooners have won 20 of the last 36 meetings. However, the Cowboys have gone 10-5 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. Ice Hockey The Bedlam Series took to the ice rink for the first time in 2022. The Oklahoma State ice hockey club had gone defunct in recent years, but was revived thanks to a grassroots effort from students. The inaugural game between the two ACHA clubs was played on November 4, 2022 at the Arctic Edge Arena in Edmond, Oklahoma, resulting in a 6-3 victory for the Sooners. The Cowboys won the following night 5-4 in OT at the BOK Center. The games were broadcast live on Black Dog Hockey, an independent streaming service that partners with many ACHA clubs. The series is tied 1-1. Wrestling Oklahoma State holds a lopsided advantage in the schools' wrestling rivalry, the original "Bedlam Series." The Cowboys wrestling program currently holds a 149–27–10 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. Oklahoma State has earned 143 individual NCAA titles
