Eddie Coverage

• He’s getting in!

• Porter (me): Five thoughts on the induction.

• Reaction: Sutton family | social media | other coaches

• Bill Haisten on Eddie was really good (and another one here was great as well). The photos at the bottom of those articles may be even better — Sean and Scott as kids!

• Good stuff from Jenni Carlson on Eddie’s coaching tree.

• Eddie’s family said he fist-pumped when he found out the news. Great column from Berry Tramel.

• Here’s when he found out the news.

Grateful I was able to be there with my coach when he got that long awaited call. Will be a special day I’ll remember forever. ? pic.twitter.com/z00KUQRKT5

• This is great.

Nice story from @BMont30 about the difference between Eddie Sutton the recruiter and #EddieSutton the coach. Lol. Stick around for the end of the video to hear Montonati talk about the lasting impact Coach Sutton had on his life. #okstate #EddieIsIn LINK: https://t.co/ajJlqM83Ip pic.twitter.com/jOVpoTc784

Other News

• Good Q&A from the Oklahoman here with Brandon Weeden on the loss of spring ball and the hiring of Tim Rattay as QB coach. Here was my biggest takeaway (on Rattay).

“Very smart guy, very bright guy, a lot of energy. We kept in touch for many years and I texted him the second I saw they hired him. I think we hit a home run there. He’s a good coach. I think Spencer will be a better player because of him.”

• A sobering read on how a canceled football season will affect athletic departments. Of course, Trump says football should be ready to roll in September.

• Berry Tramel thinks we will have a 2020 college football season even if it comes at the start of 2021. Smart take, per usual.

• This week’s pods: Dave Hunziker | Marshall Moses | Chad Weiberg | Josh Holliday

• We would appreciate you subscribing wherever you get your podcasts.

• Wow, Iowa State’s coaches are taking a temporary pay cut.

• Seth Duckworth was made for this quarantine. His content might be the best content.

• How OSU was supposed to host the NCAA tennis championships this year and what this pandemic means for the future.

• I enjoyed this about communicating online.

• The end of Allie P.

On this day in 1981, the Cowboys took on Missouri in the 1st-ever game at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium. For a second time, we say goodbye to a ballpark that’s been home to 9⃣4⃣5⃣ #okstate wins & a host of legends.
