STILLWATER — Oklahoma State football could certainly use a few extra gifts from Santa this Christmas following a rough two-year stretch, but that shouldn’t be a problem since the new guy running the program earned the nickname “The Elf.”
“I’ve almost grown out of the nickname,” OSU coach Eric Morris said during his official Cowboys introduction. “There’s not many people left, there’s only two or three people that still call me The Elf. It’s not always the most complimentary thing.”
His former Texas Tech head coach gave Morris the nickname when the Red Raiders broke down film following a 34-27 win over the Sooners in 2007.
