We have been privileged to get to know Coach Sutton on a personal, friendly level since moving to Stillwater. Even to the point where my innocent son, handing Coach's empty popcorn container back to him, will yell "Hey, Sutton, here's your popcorn!" :) He's an incredible person - so down to earth and generous and kind. He's gone through a lot that most of us will never have to endure and has become such a legend for many basketball and OSU fans.
This is the third year he has offered his basketball tickets to our family but the first where he was actually coming. We were able to get a ticket for Kyle to sit with my parents and enjoyed our time (this happened to be the game where tip-off was 1 1/2 hours late so we chatted for a long time) and the experience.
Side story - while we were sitting there, Brodie Myers came to get his autograph. Well, Grant knowing Brodie as a "celebrity" was just freaking out about the 8 year old!!! Guess it's all in the perspective as to who you look up to - coaching legend or NBC star! For those who don't know, Brodie was in the top 4 for the Today Show Kid Reporter and he goes to Grant's school.

If you ever can't take the tickets, we know where you can pass them onto. :)
