John Helsley wrote about Senior Night for the Oklahoman today and profiled 49-year senior Michael Cobbins in the process.

“I was looking at some pictures of him as a freshman, when he just started,” Joy said, “and it really had not hit me that this was the end of it. That this was his senior year.

“He really has grown from a teenage boy and developed into a man on that campus of OSU and in that program.”
