STILLWATER – The coaches made their way across Hall of Fame over to the Sherman Smith Training Center early Monday afternoon as the football teachers were back on campus for the first coaching clinic in two years after COVID-19. The crowd was okay with coaches from Bixby, Beggs, Mustang, Jones, and Stillwater plus some coaches from Texas.

Robert, if you can say, what was the type of injury that was involved with both Anderson and Ford?

Trace is still rehabbing from the torn ACL against Baylor. As for Anderson, I'm not sure about that but know he struggled to stay healthy most of last season.

Cali - I don't know that there any / much restrictions for HS coaches to work with the kids during the summer. When my oldest son was playing at Noble, they had a summer program that involved weights, running/conditioning, and moving the irrigation/sprinkler piping around the field to prepare it for the coming season. When we moved to Texarkana (Texas High), the summer program was much the same all the way up to the start of two-a-days. Now, as a coach in Texas, he has been working with the kids at his new school, same thing - weights & conditioning.

As far as the injuries, Zach was right on Trace Ford. If you remember he tore his ACL in the Baylor game, actually late in the game, second half. He is doing great. In fact, I've been told about as good a rehab as has been seen. No surprise as Trace is a hard worker. Langston Anderson had a foot injury similar to what we saw back in the day with Isaiah Anderson, who had the injury happen to both feet. It is related to the Liz franc type of injury, but not exact. Anderson missed most of the spring, but he looks as good now as he has since arriving and he is determined to have a break out season.

Now, on coaches working with high school players, that differs state-to-state by association. Oklahoma loosened their rules and they can conduct summer pride type conditioning and coach up seven-on-seven and some activities. I realize coaches need vacation, but I advocate allowing coaches to have summer contact and be able to work with players. If not, the players are going to go somewhere else for the guidance. I prefer it stay with the high school coaches.

I lived in Tokyo when Rob was hired as head trainer at oSu. A gym friend told me about it, I said "who?" This guy, Greg, was playing pro basketball at the time in Japan and said Glass was the trainer for the b.ball team at the University of Florida when he was playing there.

Said we would love him and that they really did at UF too when he was there. He wasn't wrong at all!

LOL - that's funny... I'm not a Californian either - I'm an Okie, just happen to live here for a while.

I'm trying to get closer to the Mother Land... but wifey is from CA.

I was in T-Town last week with the heat and the humidity.... I had forgotten about the humidity.... I'll need a lake house to move to.... maybe Grand Lake.

Nope, not Canadian by heritage, Native Okie - born in Holdenville, grew up in Stillwater. I coined my handle on RA's original Go Pokes board when I was working in Calgary.

I was in Alberta for 5 years in that stretch (Calgary, then Fort McMurray, then back to Calgary) , and returned to Canada for another stretch in BC a few years later. Loved Alberta, have many lifelong friends there, and I'd go back in a heartbeat. Last Christmas, we had a long road trip and our plan was to go back to Calgary & the Kananaskis just west of there, but could only go as far as to put hands on the border fence at Sweetgrass, Montana (border closed).

Our first mobilization trip in 2001 started by taking the oldest son to Stillwater from Texarkana to start his freshman year at O-State and spend a week with my mom in Stillwater before driving on up to Calgary. When the oldest son graduated, he was the end of a chain of continuous enrollment at O-State by at least one family member from 1924 to 2006.

I'm not an Okie, but my mom, dad, aunt, uncle, wife, both kids, both of their spouses, and one grandkid are all Oklahoma born. I was born in Texas and my first grandson was born in Missouri. We are all Cowboys!

I was born in Stillwater in '91, family moved to Missouri for about a year in '96, then moved to Bristow, OK in '97 and graduated high school in '09. Went to school and moved back to Stillwater with my then girlfriend, now wife, in '11 and have been here ever since. Absolutely love it here.
