It was reported that Nick Starkel may be making an appearance to the first OU game this season in Norman, and Starkel put those claims to rest by posting a picture of himself with friends at Gaylord Family Memorial Stadium.

When your friend asks you to go to an OU game but you're loyal to OSU?? #GoPokes pic.twitter.com/WYwK16Nf4D — Nicholas Starkel (@NickStarkel) September 5, 2015

His friends look less than pleased, although they’re probably better sports than most. Starkel has yet to sign his LOI with his OSU, but he’s already in year 2 form when it comes to his understanding of the OU hate.

When asked on twitter if he would be at OSU’s season opener, his response was “heck yeah!” Breathe easy, Cowboy fans. This kids a keeper.
