I love Eddie Sutton and respect everything he has done for OSU…..but I don’t see that it matters whether his name on the court is in the form of a signature or in printed letters. The tribute to the importance of Eddie Sutton to OSU remains the same, whichever form is displayed. This has the appearance of a controversy stirred by the media.

Eric. You’re crazy if you think this is Trammels’s doing!! This is a typical Aggie move that deserves press. How dare OSU think that they can remove his signature from the court!! What’s next. Transforming the entire court into an exact likeness of Boone Pickens rear end, so every Aggie that shows up can get their fare share of brown noeing time in!!!! HAHA

Why do you (Barry) and The Oklahoman insist on making such a big deal about a signature? As long as his name remains on the court (and as you point out, it appears in ALL 8 designs) why does it matter? It is Eddie Sutton court and will remain so whether his signature is there or not. Quit trying to make a controversy out of a non-issue.

the signature should remain and the heck with what the others say and yes SUTTON did great things for OSU and certain people made a shambles out of it. the signature on the floor is a exact replica of Eddie Sutton, i know, cause i have his autograph.

The court will still bear his name, regardless.

What difference does it matter if his signature is on the floor? Sounds a little egomaniacal.

For that matter, how can we be SURE that is Eddie’s signature? Without getting obnoxious, it looks a little too neat.

THE SIGNATURE WAS TOO, TOO MUCH! Keep his name in the corners, that’s about it. It still upsets me that Eddie, knew he had a drinking problem for many months before he got in the accident. I also, believe that the University knew. The thought that this was his first time that he got drunk, during the time he was coach, is silly. He did not do the University any favors by not addressing his problem before the accident forced him to.

Leave the signature. Eddie Sutton did more good at OSU than will ever be offset by his mistakes. Paint the court, yes. Alter the signature ABSOLUTELY NOT! Go to okstate.com and vote now if you are a loyal OSU fan.

If they take Eddie’s signature off the court just proves that Holder has a vendetta against the Sutton’s. I’m tired of hearing that Holder loves OSU more than anyone. The Sutton’s kept the whole atheltic dept. floating till Picken’s came along.

Gotta paint it this year Berry because of the new three-point arc. That’s what they were trying to do, get all the painting done now.
