Pixie Rowland passed peacefully Tuesday, September 12, 2023 with her son and daughter lovingly by her side. Born July 2, 1944 to Kenneth and Carla Hacking of Minneapolis, Minnesota, Pixie grew up alongside her brother Jack both playing and loving sports. Pixie especially excelled at equestrian, field hockey, and tennis. Growing up she attended The Northrup Collegiate School in Minneapolis. Pixie then went on to play tennis at The University of Minnesota, and continued an active role in the sport for most of her life. As an adult, she learned to play golf and quickly became one of the best female amateur golfers around. In her later years she took on pickle ball, and in true Pixie fashion, she mastered that sport as well.

The Cowboys are coming off a 33-7 loss at home to South Alabama (who then went and lost to Central Michigan at home) and a 34-27 loss at Iowa State, which had the worst offense in the Big 12 heading into that game.
