I'm ****** Larry was ever let go still.

Never saw that one coming.

The Pat Knight fiasco in Lubbock is an even better example of this.

Sean used to stick a sock in his mouth before games to keep from biting his tongue.

Because T. Boone Pickens said so. At OSU, what T.Boone wants, T. Boone gets.

When the media catch you squeezing vertical corncobs between your legs, you know you need a new job.

He wasn't a man, like the football coach?

He was 39 when he resigned, so NO he wasn't a man!

Clearly, you have people at OSU that do not want to settle for mediocrity.

They have been very aggressive in upgrading their facilities. They want to win and win big. They didn't like what he was doing with the program and so they let him go and went about trying to hire the best coach available (as you may recall, they tried to hire Self right after he won the NC at KU). Self turned them down and they went after Ford from UMass (with a Pitino pedigree) and gave him the bucks to hire top assistants (like Butch Pierre).

On a side note, I would imagine that S. Sutton's dry cleaner's revenue is down considerably this year...that guy could sweat through a suit...man!

Didn't he faint on the bench a few times? Or at least look like he was about to.

I remember watching him in the huddle a few times when the camera panned over and thinking, this guy is an absolute nut job.

They also have a sugar daddy to help pay for all that. When money isnt a problem you can build whatever and hire whoever you want.
