Comments on: Connecting the dots… http://blog.newsok.com/osu/2009/02/20/connecting-the-dots/ Oklahoma State Cowboys sports blog from NewsOK.com Tue, 23 Apr 2013 16:03:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5 By: osucowboys http://blog.newsok.com/osu/2009/02/20/connecting-the-dots/comment-page-1/#comment-829 osucowboys Wed, 25 Feb 2009 00:04:56 +0000 http://blog.newsok.com/osu/2009/02/20/connecting-the-dots/#comment-829 JB, thanks for your comments, but I don’t get my OSU news from the Tulsa World, ESPN or any other news organization. I get it from sources in and around the program whom I trust.

That’s the case with the news I reported on Cole, and I stand by my report. Maybe my information will end up being wrong and Cole will play for OSU again.

Of course, Mike Gundy, like many coaches, also knows how to use the media to speak to his players. We’ll see what happens with Cole (the ones currently on the roster).

To answer Patrick’s question: No, I don’t think the Cowboys are interested in Marve any longer. I believe they are perfectly satisfied with the group of players who will be competing to replace Zac Robinson in 2010 — as you said, assuming Deaton and Sorenson stay true to their commitments.

Thanks,
Scott

No, can’t be Cole because the Tulsa World reported last week that Gundy said Cole COULD work his way back on to the team.

Scott, you should read the Tulsa World in addition to ESPN to get your OSU news.

From what little attention I paid to his saga, it sounds like he really didn’t look that great at UM and I believe he comes with some baggage. If I recall, it seems he had a bit of a reputation as not being a team player and has a meddlesome father. Also, isn’t he more of a pro-style QB as opposed to the dual-threat QB that Coach Gundy and staff seem to prefer?

Since Marve would not be available to play until the 2010 season, there looks to be plenty of competition to be Zac’s replacement that year. In addition to Cate and Weedon, there will be Clint Chelf with a year under his belt, Johnny Deaton (if his comittment holds) with a Spring practice in the program, and Nathan Sorenson (if commitment holds). Other than a few games’ experience, what does Marve offer that none of these guys do?
