Dana Holgorsen is not a short-timer, just a smart single man

In today's issue of the Tulsa World, OSU beat reporter Bill Haisten poses the question of Dana Holgorsen being a short-timer in Stillwater all because he doesn't have a house .

True, he lives in a Hotel Suite (probably the Atherton) - but as a single man making good coin in Stillwater, that is probably the best option. A clean room and a made bed come standard. Breakfast does too. Laundry and linens can be "outsourced. "

I understand that someone might view this as a characteristic of a short-timer, but I see it as a smart choice by a man that does not want to be bogged down in his first year.

After all, what single man wants the hassle of a mortgage, lawn care, repairs, etc when you can have this?!?!

Sumptuous robes (Sumptuous!)
Full sized hairdryer (The Phil Collins hair doesn't dry itself)
32" HDTV
Complimentary DVD library
I-Home docking station
Full housekeeping services
Laundry and dry cleaning service
In-house fitness center
Complimentary local & national newspapers
Gift shop, beauty salon, and barber shop adjacent

Plus, I bet the quiff at a fancy on campus Hotel is unbelievable!

Now the Tulsa World doesn't mention this but you should take in to account to that he has 3 kids, and probably has a house and ex-wife somewhere else - so a low stress, "all inclusive" lifestyle in Stillwater makes sense to me.

Holgorsen is just a guy that wants to keep things simple off the field, and concentrate on winning games in Stillwater. Oh, and bring nice strange back to the Atherton to take advantage of the sumptuous robes with room service...

Not the Atherton

So my wife and I went to the Remember the 10 run in April and saw Coach Holgorsen roaming the halls and pool are with his kids in the new Suites just south of the Sonic west of town by the “new” Walmart.

Nice place but quite surprised at that time to know that he lived there. Apparently the scoop is exactly as it reads above – divorced, not thinking long term in Stillwater, looking for strange…

Hotel suite's ain't cheap.

Rent a house or decent apartment for that kinda coin. But, hotels are great places for a Phil Collins look a like to get bad strange. Then get the sheets changed the next day. And maybe the curtains, depends on how rowdy one gets. Personally, I need the ceiling cleaned, but I don’t want to brag.

The article was pathetic.

Maybe Cincy can’t say so but the whole thing was done in poor taste. I like Haisten. I think he does a great job as OSU’s beat writer. However, if he can’t think of a better article to write two weeks into the college football season then he needs to consider a career change.

He works for a newspaper…not a tabloid. Holgorsen has coached one whole game and already Haisten is writing about him jumping ship? Really? And his evidence? He lives in a hotel suite? Everyone panic!!!

I would expect an article like this from Sittler but not from OSU’s own beat writer. I think he scorned a lot of OSU fans on this one.

I don't read the daily sooner or the Tulsa rag

They will just puss you off. Tramel has no integrity so his staff has none, hell even traeber hates carlson. And Sittler is a $3 dickhead. Wouldn’t let it bother you. Just do what I’ve done, start drinking at noon on Friday. Then it’s all good. And your comments will be long and rambly

Sorry cant resist.

So I guess the article is implying that Holgorsen is already saying “Take Me Home” from OSU? And I guess what Haisten is wanting from Cowboy fans is for us to start moping around muttering “One More Night” before the season even really starts? I’ve lived at hotels before. It wasn’t always “Another Day in Paradise”, but at least you never run out of shampoo, HBO is cool. Dana would be naive to think the “Suite Life” (Non-Phil Collins Disney Channel Reference) will be hard to vacate. Dana is not going to say “Hello, I Must Be Going” to OSU, but maybe fans of both Oklahoma State and smooth 80’s adult contemporary should seek out that album and try to subvert some hidden meaning buried beneath layers upon layers of catchy, pop polish.
