Pickens originally went to A&M on a $25 a month basketball scholarship before getting cut and leaving College Station for Oklahoma State.
Hargis then came up and introduced Stitt, but before the introduction, Hargis poked some fun at Texas A&M. Pickens originally went to A&M on a $25 a month basketball scholarship before getting cut and leaving College Station for Oklahoma State.

“We’re blessed that Texas A&M cut his scholarship,” Hargis said. “Let’s have a moment of silence for Texas A&M.”

If I had to single out one piece of advice that’s guided me through life, most likely it would be from my grandmother, Nellie Molonson. She always made a point of making sure I understood that on the road to success, there’s no point in blaming others when you fail.

Here’s how she put it:

“Sonny, I don’t care who you are. Some day you’re going to have to sit on your own bottom.”
