Oklahoma State said that they intended to hire a "big name" coach to replace the recently departed Sean Sutton. And armed with a $300 million trust, courtesy of multi-billionaire booster T. Boone Pickens, the OSU athletic department swung for the fences.
They tried to lure the coach of the 2008 National Champions--Kansas' Bill Self--to return to Stillwater, OK, to coach his alma matter. But he declined.
Then there was speculation that Pickens and OSU were trying to convince Billy Gillispie--himself a Self protege--to leave Kentucky for Oklahoma State. But that went nowhere as well. There was even talk of OSU making a play for former NBA coach Larry Brown, and then for Minnesota's Tubby Smith.
And on Tuesday, Oklahoma State officials met with Southern Illinois coach Chris Lowery.
But in the end, Oklahoma State settled on UMass coach Travis Ford.
However, while Oklahoma State fans who had planned on landing Self or Gillispie may be less than inspired by Ford's hiring, Drive and Dish thinks that Oklahoma State probably made a good hire.
The Sporting News' Mike DeCourcey doesn't like the move, though:
"OK State promised to pay Sean Sutton more than $2 million if he'd just go away, and for all of that, and for all the Cowboys will pay to Ford, they got themselves a coach with a .565 career winning percentage and one NCAA bid in eight seasons as a Division I head coach. Barry Hinson got fired from Missouri State for not making the tournament. Ford got the Oklahoma State job. You wonder why some coaches are a bit batty?"

Jay: Shilpan ....... Hell yeah, bro!! Me and Silent Bob been smoking up an ounce of primo Kush and a couple grams of hydro Northern Lights ever since we woke up this afternoon!! We're happy guys too, rite about now!! Haha!!!!
Silent Bob:
Jay: Hell yeah!!! Like Flava Flav always sez: YEAHHH BOYEEEEE!!!!!!!!
Silent Bob:
Jay: Hell muthaf#@kin' yeah, snoogins!!! We be wakin' and bakin,' know what I'm sayin' kidd!?!
We be smokin' up madd buddz, like Dr. Dre and Snoop out in Compton and some shit!!
And we're happy, happy, happy ..... as long as we gotz our herbs and our Oxycontin!!!! Ya digg!!!!!!
Silent Bob:
Jay: Oh yeah. Silent Bob sez to tell all our peepz out there that we stayz happy as long as we got drugs AND as long as the Force iz with us!!!
Awwww Yeahhhh!!!!!!! We got the Force, beotch!!!!!! Know what I'm sayyin!!! I'm chillin' like I'm Luke SkyyHighWalker, and Silent Bob be mackin' like he's Obi Wan Cannabisobi!!!! We be tha muthaffukken shiznitt, dogg!!! Hell muthaf&$in yeah, dude!!
Silent Bob:
Jay: Yeah bitch. Me and Silent Bob alwayz been hard core metal headz, hard core pot headz, straight up pimpz, straight gangsta thugz, straight hip hop high rollaz, comic book store pimps, cash money hustlerz out there on dat grind and part time practitioners of the Jedi Knight arts. Yee-auh!!
Silent Bob:
Jay: Aw, hell naw! Silent Bob just ripped a nasty azz Cool ranch Doritos fart. That shit iz gunna be clearin' out half this muthaf@@en state, fat boy. Muthafukkasz gunna be runnin from Mt. Laurel to Perth Amboy just to get away from them fumez, son.
Silent Bob:
Jay: Hell yeah. Silent Bob said that the other half of the state iz gunna be runnin' to this Quick Stop parking lot, where me and Silent Bob stay......so that they can get some of the OTHER kind of fumes that me and Silent Bob's fat azz got--if you know what I mean!! Haha!!
Silent Bob:
Jay: And Silent Bob sez to tell all our peepz out there that we're back from our trip out to Detroit Rockk City. And that we're back in business outside this Quick Stop -- we got what you need, ya digg!!
Hell yeah, playa!! We hitchhiked out to Detroit so that we could sell weed to college students from Kansas, Villanova and Wisconsin at the Sweet 16. Plus, we thought that we might be able to party with Kid Rock and his posse if we ran into those cats out there.
But we didn't make it to D-Town in time for the bakeitball games cuz we got stuck by the highway near Toledo. So we just stayed there at the rest stop off the Ohio Turnpike, and kicked it in tha Budeye state, yo. We ended up smoking up half our inventory anyway.
But later on, we did hitch our way into Michigan.
So once we got into Michigan, we jumped on the back of a garbage truck. All tha weed might be killin' our short term memory, but our long term memory is hella tight. So me and Silent Bob remembered the scene from Star Wars where Luke and Han Solo are in stuck in the garbage dump aboard the Death Star. And we knew that we could use our Jedi mind trickz to keep the garbage truck from smashing our Jedi Knight azzes into pancakez.
So we jumped into tha back of the garbage truck, son.
See, by using the Force, me and Silent Bob knew that the garbage truck was all filled up with trash and it had to dump all its garbage in a garbage dump. So we figured that we'd just jump off at the garbage dump and hitch a ride into Detroit .... kind of like Luke and Han did when they were in the garbage dump on the Death Star.
But it worked out better than me and Silent Bobbb even expected, baby girl!! This Jedi shit is crazy brah!!!!!! Dude, the garbage truck took us right into downtown Detroit, know what I'm sayin kidd!?!
That's cuz downtown Detroit IS A FU&$IN' GARBAGE DUMP.
So the garbage truck just unloaded all tha trash on the street right in front of Joe Louis Arena. Hell yeah!!
Aw yea! Me and Silent Bob made it into Detroit, son..... even if it wuz 10 dayz after the Sweet 16.
Silent Bob:
Jay: Haell yeah, beotch!! Me and Silent Bob thought that downtown Detroit wood be like NYC or some shit. You know, we thought there wood be some fu**in people and some high rollaz down in that mutherfu##a, bubba. But there was nothing down there except for trash and crack fiends and 10 pound rats.
So me and Silent Bob tried to sell weed to some crack fiends. Long story short, snoogins: We ended up in a crack house in D-Town, gettin' f**ked up in the head wit them crazy roxx, bro!!!
That shit wuz hella crazy, kidd!!!
Silent Bob:
Jay: Yeah, that's rite, Silent Bobby Bubba. We got straight up insane in the membrane, dude!!! We wuz straight LOCO, ese!!
Silent Bob:
Jay: Hell yeah!! I'm just glad to be back home in Jersey -- kickin' it in front of the Quick Stop like we alwayz do, brah.
This iz how Jay and Silent Bob roll, kidd!
And Detroit wuz some crazy fuc8^d up shit, dogg
Hey guys,
Goin' forward, Oklahoma State is goin' be graaiit. Travis is gunna do a greaaiit job in Stillwater. He's goin' be greaaiit.
We met with Mike Holden and the Oklahoma State people for a couple hours last week. Mike Holden is graaiit and what he's doin' at OSU is graaiit.
And obviously I had a history at OSU and we're from Oklahoma. So it's always graaiit to talk to people from OSU. And Stillwater is always graaiit.
But we just felt like that Kansas is home now. And everything that we've done here over the last three or four years has been graaiit ... except for when Roy's leftover players lost to Bucknell and Bradley in the first round of the Tournament.
I mean, I'm not goin' lie: It was a lil' bit hard at first cause we were stuck with Roy's leftover trash. But we built this thang back up over the last four years, and now everythang's graaiit on Naismith Drive.
We just fealt like that we're in this thang fer the lawng haul. And now that the boosters've stepped up to the plaite--and the figures that'r ohn the taible are graaiit--we just feel like that this is the plaice where we wohnna be ... you know, fer the lawng haul.
Butler Bob likes to talk about how some programs are sinnin' and whatnot. But Butler Bob often speaks of sinful activities that he partakes in himself, such as committing adultery in his heart with Shelley Smith and with Kassie from the chat room.
And on top of that, he's just always given me the creeps.
For the last month, I've believed that Butler Bob is possessed by a demon. Now I have the proof - straight from Butler Bob's online bio at Creeps TV. Check it out:
www.creepstv.com/creeps_website_final_draft_009.htm
And notice what Butler Bob's Bio says:
"Bob is the flatulent butler to "The Freak" that suffers from irritable bowel syndrome. This stinker of a triclops usually finds himself the butt end of everyone's jokes. Bob is petrified of the zombies that reside in the next door graveyard..."
I know that Butler Bob always talks about Ethel havin' diarrea problems. But it looks like he's the one with the real plumbin' problem.
And if y'all are still skeptical about Butler Bob being possessed, jus' look at his ghoulish coterie of friends:
www.creepstv.com/creeps_website_final_draft_003.htm
I think that the picture of Butler Bob's friend "Clyde" says it all. Y'all know the saying, a picture says a thousand words.
And come to think of it, isn't there a "Clemson Clyde" who posts comments at Drive and Dish along with Butler Bob? And isn't there a frequent Drive and Dish commenter who calls himself "freak man" or something like that?
Look at that picture of the freak man. Butler Bob butlers for that freak.
Now I know for sure that Butler Bob is an agent of Beelzebub.
To Kassie, Toki Wartooth, Mark Buckets and anyone else who reads this comment: Stay away from Butler Bob. Stay far away.
Butler Bob is evil.
And smelly.
Church Man: I notice that Butler Bob hasn't responded to your comment.
Interesting.
Maybe this Church guy is on to something after all.
Bill Self's Toupee: You are awesome!
every kiss begins with kay,
If you've got to "push it, pull it" or "tow it" to Golf Mill Ford, maybe you should call these guys instead:
