The OSU Cowboys face off against opponent Missouri State tomorrow but the fans are already at battle.
It appears that some MSU fans were on campus either late last night or early this morning to dye the beloved fountain maroon. If you've never been to campus, the fountain is a normal color for the beginning of the year but usually changes to orange after dyed right before conference play. So dying our fountain the color of the opposing team the day before kickoff is not settling well with most Cowboys.
Game prediction: pain.
This fountain will runneth over with the blood of Missouri State tomorrow night after this prank. pic.twitter.com/hSESS8l4O2

My favorite was the OSU Alumni official Twitter feed posted this:

Could work.
I don't know what all the #OKState fans are complaining about. Just add some yellow. Problem solved.

Could we get one of the Buckingham Palace Guards dressed up as Pistol Pete?
Does does this mean we have to start guarding the fountain now? #OKState

Pretty much.
Dude Missouri State painted our fountain red. That's a dick move for a school that's going to be stomped by us. #GoPokes #OKState

A few people were sort of okay with it.

Until they realized it wasn't dye.
It's one thing to dye the fountain, it's another thing to dye it with latex paint. #BeatMoState #GoPokes #OKState

Then folks started to get angry
Oh hell no, Missouri State. No one messes with our fountain. We may make you look like Savannah State now. #okstate #gopokes

Someone must pay.
Missouri State may have poured maroon into our fountain, but just wait until it's filled with your tears after tomorrow's game. #okstate

Very, very angry.
This makes me irrationally angry. I have no idea whyRT @pistolsguy: Missouri State dyed #okstate's library fountain maroon on Thursday night

It's all cleaned up now though, and Matt Fletcher is right, They're the real MVP
What do you think Cowboy fans? Does the team take out the anger on MSU tomorrow and beat them even worse than some projected?
