PrintTravis Ford has lost 13 conference road games in a row. That got me thinking. How angry should I be that Travis Ford isn't winning on the road in relation to Sean Sutton's resume?
In Sutton's 2 years as head coach, he won 3 conference games on the road.
@ #7 Texas A&M year one
@ #18 Texas A&M year two
@ Missouri year two
Not all that great really. Travis Ford matched Sutton's total in his first year of coaching and led the Cowboys to 3 conference road victories.
The Pokes won @ Nebraska, @ Texas Tech and @ Colorado in Ford's first season as head coach. In his second season, Ford beat #9 Kansas State in Manhattan and Iowa State in Ames. That's 5 games in two seasons.
Unfortunately, that February 17th, 2010 win in Ames would be Oklahoma State's last road win.
So after 2 full years of coaching, Sean Sutton had 3 road wins and Travis Ford had 5. Ford didn't win at all on the road last year and is 0-2 this year. The Cowboys still have 6 road games to play this year:
@Texas A&M
@Texas Tech
@Kansas
@Missouri
@Oklahoma
@Kansas State
In the Big 12, anything can happen on the road - but it's going to be an uphill battle. Will Travis Ford get that elusive road win this year? Going 0-for two years in a row would be brutal, but at this point it's looking likely.

If we cant win against either Tech or A&M,
it’s time to go coach shopping. What’s that? We Can’t? Cause Holder gave Ford a 10 year deal? What the fuck? Well then, time to go AD shopping.

All the "Ford's contract is stupid" nonsense aside
I never really felt strongly that Sean had to go when he did. I didn’t feel strongly that he’d turn it around either, just that he didn’t get a fair shake. Now that Ford’s been around LONGER and produced nothing better, isn’t it time to call it like it is? To heck with the contract, get him out of there.
For what it's worth...

Seeing how this is Ford's 4th year...
I really think he’s going to have to start showing some progress soon or his seat is going to get hot. The chaotic environment has got to stop. Our guys need to know their role by the end of this year and then come out next year looking like a team that is seasoned.

I hope he's not around next year
but at this point, being his 4th year, these are all his guys….well, except our leading scorer. He is supposed to have a group of upperclassmen by now, and we are still playing with a group of freshmen. The half court offense is atrocious, and outside of sitting at the 3 point line, our guys really don’t know where to be, so yeah we really need to see some improvement in the way we work in the half court game among many other things
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
undisciplined team
we lost the rebounding battle 50 – 29. That tells quite a bit about today’s game.
