How Many Eddie Suttons Are There?

Somebody just said Eddie Sutton was rumored to be considering the SF basketball job on an interim basis.

Our first response was: Wasn't the McAlester Outlaw job open?

Here's one question that comes to mind: Why?

Maybe there's a great reason that we have missed that would cause Mr. Sutton to return to the hardwood.

We did after all, as many readers have reminded us, pick the Missouri House Cats to defeat OU at football.

A few stabs at why Eddie Sutton is considering coaching at SF.

10. Have you seen OSU this year?
9. The Tennessee radio gig with Michael Del Giorano just didn't work out.
8. Can watch all of Monday Night Football and still make it to bed by 8pm.
7. Enough of Oprah and The View, already.
6. Unlike Stillwater, tee time at 8:30 a.m. in January is above 15 degrees.
5. Because he can.
4. It's lovely this time of year.
3. He's a closet Dead Head.
2. Has seen one too many movie car chases - wants to try.

I hear that SF has a lot of good bars with top shelf booze.
WR (5 years ago)
I will pay for your vacation if you will PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE, pick the Mountaineers.
Here kitty kitty.

I think USF needed a coach and Eddie was out there, 'tan, rested, and ready'(to take a line from King Switzer). Regardless of what people think of Sutton's 'exit' at Pokie State, he can coach. I wish him the best.

The football equivalent is Switzer coming out of retirement to coach at North Dakota State.

If two more wins are that essential, somebody should Fed-Ex him a couple.

WR: My bowl locks are:

Arkansas plus; Kansas plus; Bowling Green plus; Air Force plus; Georgia minus; and, WR, just for you, OU minus!

It's not my fault nobody told me Missouri was a bunch of chokers.

World Picker said "It's not my fault nobody told me Missouri was a bunch of chokers"

Wasn't it YOU who told US they choked in the first MU/OU game?
Yeah, it was you, I looked it up.

You should be fired. Or forced to watch a BB game. Either way, it is punishment.

Hey NITWIT, get a sense of humor---the Picker was obviousley blogging tonge-in-cheek. Long live the Picker!
WORLDPICKER (5 years ago)
It's okay, RIP, it's the holiday season, people like Nit Picker, who bought gas in Norman and therefore consider themselves real Sooners, deserve our compassion. Can't you just see him sitting non-stop at his computer, a ghostly palor to his face, with who knows what on the screen.
Nit picker (5 years ago)
World Picker: Hit a sore spot , did I?

Only in your wildest dreams do I buy gas in Norman.

I doubt you would know a real "Sooner" unless one exposed you for what you really are. Ooops. My bad.

"It's not my fault nobody..." I called your high school English teacher. She said this was an example of a 'double negative'. She wasn't surprised.

RIP: Be vewy caweful, World Picker had Ike's for lunch-you could be in harm's way kissing his a**.

It's not his tongue that is in his cheek, RIP, it's is foot.

And you read my posts while sitting non stop at your ......??

Enough small talk: Back to the Suttons.

Maybe ES wanted to go over 800 wins. How far is he from 4th place on wins? How far from 6th place? After all, he doesn't need the $$$.

Or, maybe he really likes to actually be involved in a sport. Without guys like Eddie Sutton, (Sr. & Jr.), who are out there in the arena, actually doing something and taking a chance on failing with all to watch, without those guys that World Picker makes fun of all the time, World Picker would just be flipping burgers at Micky D's.

You have always been a chump, World Picker.

You should be fired.

You should take RIP with you.

Not that it matters but I'm wondering if Nit Wit and Nit Picker are the same person. Boy, Nit Picker really doesn't like World Picker. It sounds personal. What's the story guys?
Nit Picker (5 years ago)
Sandy Springs:

Don't know if Nit Wit and Nit Picker are the same person or not. I'll ask my shrink, maybe she knows.

I (whomever that may be) do not dislike World Picker. Without him it would just be the three of us.

Truly, I am not one of the thousands who(m)? he infuriates. I just believe he is incompetent and a sad case.

Some folks, including World Picker, become uncontrollably angry when a poster dishes them back some smack.
But, isn't that why he has a blog and invites comments? He, and most other posters dish out OU bashing smack.
Whatever is wrong with dishing it back to you all?..unless of course you all are like World Picker...can dish it out, but can't take it.

World Picker should be fired. (I concur, Nit Wit, or Nit Picker, or whomever is there).
bone (5 years ago)
The picker is funny, and usually right. Sports are just games, they are not wars where young people don't come home. Eddie Sutton should be in jail, not coaching. I can't believe people have made his drunken wreck into him being a hero. I would not have him near my family.

Out Pick The Picker

The Picker began entertaining – and infuriating – sports fans in 1993. Each week during football season, he writes about his picks of college and NFL games in his Thursday Sports column. He's never afraid of sharing his opinions about the game and the personalities who play it. Readers have a chance to go against him each season in the Outpick the Picker contest. He welcomes the competition.
