Damn You Cowboys...

Can't we have one final four where we don't get distracted by where the coach will be next year? Looks like OSU did not think this was reasonable and will be announcing that Sean Sutton will not be around Stillwater next year. Though I am not totally surprised (thought they might give him one more year, thought the KU win bought him that) it just stinks that this is one more distraction to deal with. On top of all the roy stories I have seen this week this will just add another layer of muck to deal with. Let the discussion begin if bill will be leaving to take his "dream job" or not, I know the media will. I think I can speak for all of us here at IBT when I say I will clean allen field house naismith court with a toothbrush if he is not back next year (oh wait that did not work so well last time Dickie V made the offer). Bill Self does not give a sh*t about OSU right now.

Saw that this morning. Luckily, they already had a press conference scheduled for this afternoon, so he'll at least be given the ability to squash it quickly. Then again, since 90% of the media would rather create a story than report one, until they actually have another coach I doubt it will matter.

I guess there are multiple ways to read that though. He never outright says don't talk to me about the job. He says he would strongly recommend they look else where but never rules it out. The "I'm not a candidate" part has a time element to it (ie I am not a candidate NOW) that I think doesn't shut the door either. I am not saying the guy is going or anything I am just saying I am not sure these statements are the end all either.

just heard this

"Doug Gottleib on ESPN: 'A less than 5% chance Self would go there at this point in his career.'"

means a lot to me coming from an OSU guy. Ok this is the last I will think about this.
