EXCERPT: Pat Jones' Tales from the Oklahoma State Sidelines


Pat Jones' Tales from the Oklahoma State Sidelines
Pat Jones with Jimmie Tramel

DESCRIPTION
Barry Sanders and Thurman Thomas were teammates at Oklahoma State in the 1980’s, when the Cowboys made history by producing three 10-win seasons in a five-year span. Pat Jones, who spent 11 seasons as Oklahoma State’s head coach, accumulated as many behind-the-scenes OSU football stories as Sanders and Jones accumulated yards. He shares his recollections in this book, which provides insight into one of the most exciting 10-year periods in Cowboy football history when the Cowboys caught lightning in a bottle.
