Seth Storey, an Oklahoma State junior, found himself staring down a 25-finger Raising Cane’s tailgate platter last Saturday, not because he was hungry, but because his pre-season confidence in OSU football just took a massive hit. After the Cowboys fell 24-10 to the Tulsa Golden Hurricane, Storey was stuck in the Stillwater Cane’s for three brutal hours, eating 21 chicken tenders until he could finally walk out a free man at 12:03 a.m. The kicker? He even threw up once trying to get through them.
The Reign Cane Challenge Went South
Storey, a mechanical and aerospace engineering student, wasn’t sharing that $41.99 platter, no sir. His self-imposed “Reign Cane” challenge meant for every tender he ate, one hour came off a 24-hour clock. The first 30 minutes went okay, with 12 tenders down the hatch. But at the 15-tender mark, things slowed way down. He gagged at 18, and that bathroom call ultimately came three times, with one leading to him throwing up. Storey even said the tasty Raising Cane’s sauce didn’t help. “It didn’t help with the flavor and it just kind of tasted like nothing,” he admitted. “Like definitely toward the end, I was just sick of the taste.” What a nightmare.
A 12-0 TikTok Bet Turned Torture
So, why would anyone do this to themselves? Storey posted a TikTok video before the season, totally pumped for OSU football to go 12-0. His confidence was so high he voluntarily cooked up custom punishments for every game the Cowboys lose this season, tailored to the opponent. That 24-10 loss to Tulsa at H.A. Chapman Stadium meant it was time for the chicken tender gauntlet. And believe it or not, the “Reign Cane” might be one of the tamer punishments on his list. Head coach Eric Morris and quarterback Drew Mestemaker have no idea what they are putting this kid through.
The Upcoming Horrors
Next up, OSU is a 22.5 point underdog facing Oregon on Saturday. If the Ducks win, Storey has to run, walk, or crawl one mile for every point Oregon wins by. That sounds rough, but wait until you hear the rest. If they lose to Murray State, he has to transfer there. West Virginia means getting dropped off on a random country road and finding his way home without navigation. A UCF loss? Locked in a medieval pillory for an hour in public with people throwing tomatoes. Houston? Get a cougar’s number at a bar. Colorado brings the Buffalo Wild Wings’ Blazin’ Challenge. Iowa State means being pushed down a hill in a trashcan filled with flour and oil, simulating a Cyclone. Kansas State is arguably the worst: run a mile on a track eating one can of wet cat food per lap. Texas Tech is one extra large flour tortilla for every point OSU loses by. Arizona State means a bikini wax and spray tan. And Kansas? Eat an entire container of sidewalk chalk.
Seriously, this kid’s dedication is insane. You have to wonder what’s going through his head right now. OSU plays Oregon this Saturday, and if they lose, we’re talking about a significant mileage challenge for Storey. Here’s hoping the Cowboys can pull off an upset, because some of these punishments are just brutal.
