Boone Pickens...should think about his "self" more...

...for anyone that doesn't know, I BLEED ORANGE! especially when it comes to Oklahoma State basketball. i also LOVE the sutton dynasty that is Eddie... now, that being said, Sean Sutton IS NOT his father and never will be... it is time for the Sutton name to move on from OSU (not to be forgotten, surely, but the current performance is doing more bad than good)...

as i type this my beloved cowboys are playing the red raiders in stillwater, and we are barely keeping up with Tech. Both teams have a 9-5 record thus far (this is the first conference game of the season). 9-5 is NOT typical of an OSU basketball team, at least not that i'm used to. during my 7 years in stillwater, we went to the NCAA tourney 6 times, the elite 8 once, and the final 4 once. the only two non-tourney appearances (one being the year after i left stillwater) were when sean was the acting head coach for part or all of a season...

it isn't talent that he is lacking, i think its the ability for the players to act as a team instead of individuals, which falls back on the coaching. the only significant difference between eddie's staff and sean's...... is, well, eddie isn't there.

this tells me that sean could possibly be the problem...

the point is that boone pickens needs to poney up the money (whatever it takes) to get Bill Self to truck it down to Orange Country and bring us out of our little slump... oh and a little bird tells me that booney and self have already met to "talk"... hopefully there was a piece of paper with lots of 0's on it involved in that "talk"...

that's all ive got... sorry sean, its time to move on. and that's coming from a true cowboy basketball fan.
