Cowboy Conversation | Tone Jones QB '93-'96

When people look back at Oklahoma State football in the early 1990s, they usually remember probation, the 0-10-1 season, and one of the most challenging periods in program history. What often gets overlooked is the group of players who helped rebuild the program from the ground up.

When Tone Jones arrived in Stillwater in 1993, he knew he was walking into a turnaround. Oklahoma State had gone through constant change at quarterback and was searching for stability. Those early years weren't about instant success—they were about laying the foundation for Oklahoma State's return to prominence.

The 1993 team won just three games, but it pushed Nebraska deep into the fourth quarter and let a winnable game at Iowa State slip away. Even in a 3-8 season, there were signs the program was capable. 

So that team did have some talent, especially defensively. 

Players like Keith Burns and Jason Gildon gave Oklahoma State a group that could compete every Saturday. On offense, however, the Cowboys were incredibly young, with as many as ten or eleven true freshmen learning the college game together. The growing pains were real, but so was the growth potential.

By 1994, the roster was improving. Alonzo Mayes, Jones' cousin, arrived in Stillwater, while Andre Richardson joined David Thompson and later Boogie Johnson to give Oklahoma State a deep and talented backfield in the mid-1990s.

And, as that group played together more and more, they developed a very distinct brotherhood. 

The transition from Pat Jones to Bob Simmons brought a renewed sense of purpose, while offensive coordinator Les Miles introduced a new system that helped the offense take another step forward. As the program matured, so did Tone Jones, growing into the leader the Cowboys needed during one of the most important rebuilding periods in school history.

Jones helped lead Oklahoma State to its 1995 Bedlam victory over Oklahoma—the program's first since 1976—and finished his career with the second-most completions in school history, trailing only his position coach, Mike Gundy. 

Although Jones graduated before the 1997 Alamo Bowl team, his impact carried over. He played a key role in developing Tony Lindsay, who quarterbacked that squad. He also left his footprints of leadership all over the OSU program, making him an important part of the foundation that led to one of the biggest turnarounds in Oklahoma State football history.

The 1997 season deserves every bit of the praise it receives, but that success didn't happen overnight. The wins came later, but the foundation was built by players like Tone Jones. #GoPokes #OkState

Cowboy Conversations | Terry Miller
Congratulations to one of Oklahoma State's all-time greats, Terry Miller, on being inducted into the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame this evening.

The honors just keep coming—and they're all well deserved. Terry was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2022, joined the OSU Football Ring of Honor in 2023, and is a member of the OSU Athletics Hall of Fame.

And if you've ever watched him run... those SWEET FEET speak for themselves.

In today's episode, Terry looks back on his NFL career with the Buffalo Bills, where he stepped into the nearly impossible task of replacing O.J. Simpson. He also bridged the gap before another Cowboy great, Thurman Thomas, became the Bills' feature back.

Congratulations again, Terry. Thank you for everything you've done—and continue to do—for Oklahoma State Football.

If you haven't heard Terry's story, this is the episode to start with. He's an incredible storyteller, and it's well worth your time.

Stacey Satterwhite's career is remembered for both his excellence and his unwavering commitment and loyalty to Oklahoma State.

One of the greatest defensive linemen in Cowboy history, Satterwhite arrived in Stillwater in 1988 at the height of Oklahoma State football in the 80s. He helped a 10-2 team win the Holiday Bowl as a freshman before witnessing one of the most difficult stretches in program history, staying through NCAA probation and the Cowboys' 0-10-1 season in 1991.

Despite the team's struggles, the defense remained one of the Big Eight's toughest units. Satterwhite lined up alongside future NFL standout Jason Gildon, Jay Fleischman, Mike Clark, Scott Harmon, Wendell Gaines, Mike Woolridge, and several other outstanding defenders.

His journey to Stillwater was one defined by hard work, year-round sports, life-long brotherhoods, and winning.

Growing up in Welch, Oklahoma, Satterwhite played eight-man football—but don't mistake that for a lack of competition. He was one of the state's premier all-around athletes, lettering in football, basketball, baseball, and track. He threw 90 mph on the mound, earned college basketball scholarship offers, and won a state championship in the shot put.

He had opportunities to play at several major programs, including Oklahoma and Notre Dame, and despite having links to Tinker Owens, Satterwhite chose the Cowboys—and when probation hit, he never left.

That's what being Loyal & True is all about.

Career Highlights

🏈 Part of Oklahoma State's 1988 Holiday Bowl championship team
🏈 Starter and defensive leader by 1990
🏈 Tied the then-school single-season record with 4 forced fumbles in 1991
🏈 Finished his career tied for No. 1 in Oklahoma State history with 10 career forced fumbles
🏈 Signed with the Denver Broncos following his Oklahoma State career

His NFL career was cut short by injuries, but his impact on Oklahoma State football is forever etched.

Stailee Heard is LOYAL AND TRUE!
LA Sneed didn't have to choose Oklahoma State.

The former 5⭐ recruit out of Wagner High in San Antonio played in all 32 games as a true freshman at Utah. Like many players entering Year 2, she's expected to take a big leap.

With her talent, experience, and potential, she had plenty of options.

But she chose Oklahoma State.

For Sneed, it was the feeling she got the moment she stepped on campus. It went beyond basketball. Coach Hoyt's honesty made it easy to believe Oklahoma State was the right place to become the best version of herself.

Hear Sneed explain why Oklahoma State instantly felt like home. ⬇️

The Story of Terry Miller | Oklahoma State Football Legend | Cowboy Conversations
Sometimes you just know.

For LA Sneed, the feeling she had about Oklahoma State never went away.

OSU has a way of making people feel at home almost immediately.

But it wasn't just Stillwater that sold her.

It was also Coach Hoyt and the culture she's built.

Sneed experienced that positive energy playing against OSU. Now she's fired up to be part of it every day.

That's a big reason she chose to be a Cowgirl.
