Most, if not all, Oklahoma State fans know of Mike Holder. He has been an ever-present and often polarizing figure in Oklahoma State athletics for over a decade while serving as athletic director. You probably know about him. You probably disagree with some decisions he’s made (ahem, Travis Ford). But you might not know where he came from, and just how good a ride his eight seconds in Stillwater has been. It’s a family he’s been a part of for over 50 years now. It’s a family he knows and understands. A family he has celebrated with and cried with. Just like any family, it hasn’t always been pretty and we haven’t always gotten along, but at the end of the day, we are still family. A family that’s been through a lot together. A family that’s headed in a good direction. And a family that wouldn’t look the same if it wasn’t for Mike Holder. That’s why we ranked him as one of our All-Time Cowboys, and that’s why you guys have voted him into the Elite 8. We should all be proud to call Mike Holder a Cowboy and happy to congratulate him on 50 years worth of a good ride.-Christopher Snodgress, Cowboys Ride For Free. Read More.
