STILLWATER – Last Saturday, some 24 hours after the Cowboys were knocked out of the NCAA Tournament, Mike Boynton was hanging out at an Oklahoma City shopping mall.
Sort of a tradition; as soon as a season ends, he commits the next day to his family, which usually means changing diapers and jamming to the Wiggles with his young children, while his wife Jenny hits the shops.
And so it was last Saturday, when the day was interrupted by a text message informing of a team meeting, back in Stillwater, at 3 p.m. Boynton gave thought to driving back, with serious concern about upsetting the boss.
