Walt Garrison (Walt) Quotes
Oklahoma State was the only (school) that offered me a scholarship. When you've only got one to choose from, it don't take you long to make up your mind. I liked Stillwater. People said, "You're not going to like Stillwater because it's stuck right out in the middle of nowhere.” Well, that's the thing I liked about it the most. They had horses and cows and sheep and hogs. Stuff I was used to. If I had gone to Texas or Oklahoma, I'd have been out of place. But I kind of fit in up there. You wore blue jeans and a hat. Like I tell people, I'm from Texas, I'll always be a Texan, but I owe so much to Oklahoma State. Anything I've got today comes from Oklahoma State.
