Carlson: Why Thurman Thomas deserves the first spot in OSU football's Ring of Honor

STILLWATER — Thurman Thomas isn’t the most famous OSU football player.

He might not be the best Cowboy either.

Or he might be.

There’s a pretty fun debate to be had there.

But what you can absolutely, positively say about Thomas is this — no one is better suited to be the first player in the Cowboys’ Ring of Honor.

Thomas will become the inaugural inductee during halftime of OSU’s game against West Virginia on Saturday. His name and his number, 34, will be unveiled atop the west end zone of Boone Pickens Stadium.
