Someday we'll all look back at the University of San Francisco's Eddie Sutton era - all six wins and 13 losses of it - with nostalgic fondness, but today the only word is that it's officially over. The Dons hired former Kansas player Rex Walters, and it sounds like Eddie wasn't exactly an integral part of the search process:
"Rex Walters? I thought perhaps they'd want someone from the West Coast to be able to recruit," Sutton said over the phone. "I gave them suggestions to help the basketball program ... evidently he made a big impression."
Personally, I was hoping they'd continue to go the ex-Razorback coach route and hire Nolan Richardson. That nitpick aside, here's wishing Eddie a happy and peaceful retirement.

Living here in Stillwater, I can report that my only Eddie Sutton encounter of the OSU Eddie Sutton Era was at the convience store down the road from my apartment. I walked in while he was walking out. He must have recognized that “I am seeing a famous person” look on my face and gave me a smile. I smiled back, but I wish I had said, “Wooo Pig Soooie!” Haha. As I saw him get in his car and drive off, I couldn’t help but think – I hope he gets home safely. Now that he is safely into retirement, unless some team comes to break the Eddie Sutton glass in case of emergencies, I hope he can enjoy the memories of a great career.

Hog Blogger,
Long time, no see. Great to hear from you.
That video is truly hilarious. My early pick for favorite line is “He’s a male, the perfect gender.”
By the way, drop us an e-mail. We want to chat.
