Now I have one or two questions. Why is the feud between Eddie and Mike Holder downplayed? Eddie wanted Harry Birdwell as AD after Terry Don left and kept Mike Holder from getting the job. Not one of this paper's reporters or any other media outlets had the stones to address that elephant in the room. My next question is how do you know Mike Holder loves OSU? He built his own little kingdom wth his success raising money for Karsten Creek, and has sought to exzand his power and reach since then, by selling his soul and apparently OSU's soul to Boone Pickens. It is a sad day for OSU. It is a sadder day for Oklahoma, because once again, it is evident that we don't have any journalist in the state who will stand up and question the obvious abuse of power by the powerful. The most frightening fact is that this is just sports, but if there isn't a commitment to ferret out the truth in sports, then there won't be in other matters either.

Who hired Budke? Any difference in the results of these hires? Get a life and think before you engage your nimble fingers in the act of typing. JeffB,

Maybe she missed that win over the #4 team in the country and the nice run of wins around it. A better question is whether Holder could ever be an AD at any place in the country outside State if he didn't have his hands in a $B guy's pocket.

And he has proven that he can not motivate this team. When he call his team over for a time out he stands there like a lost kid. I, for one will take anyone with a little life in them. Another year, will only bring more of the same. He is probably a nice guy, but not a good head coach, at this time of his life.
