The sad thing is that when his damned hedge fund that has all of osu's money goes down the tubes the aggies will be coming with hats in hand to beg for the tax payers of Oklahoma to finish their stupid aggieville project.

And how about considering increasing OSU's University endowment, which is the lowest in the Big 12, instead of pouring all of the money into this Boone-doggle.

T. Boone Pickens, whose son is now serving a federal sentence for insider trading, is representative of the very worst of American society. He is an antethesis to the qualities that make a person "human".

T. Boone, you owe Satan one soul....bastard.

yeah, rich guys have NO part of American history. Rockefeller, Kennedy, Carnegie, Heinz. Who the hell are those people? All they ever did was bring this country down. And those families never cheated to get their money.... Just because you have a problem with the place that he places the bulk of his philanthropical donations doesn't mean "he owes Satan one soul." Pickens represents America and its ideals, like it or not. The "American Dream" is to go from nothing to something. He has done that.

How his hedge fund will perform is open for debate, I suppose. Given his success, I don't really worry about that.

T-Booner is a snake. Ask anyone who's ever had any dealings with him? He raped the Texas panhandle, and then pulled up his Mesa operations and moved to Dallas because no one in Amarillo could stand his as@. Now he's buying up water rights from poor Texas farmers who can't afford a pot to pis# in, and is going to try to sell them off down state. Suck all the water out of the Oogalala aquifer and this part of the country is going to be a dust bowl. He reminds me of the "bad guy" banker in all the old western films who made all their money foreclosing on grandma's home. I hope the rest of his hair falls out. He needs to go get the same face lift Jerry Jones got. :D

Osama Bin Laden? I'm sure you'd put him in that category if he donated money.

I don't think you get the point poke boy. Your academic institution is a a joke and T. Boone isn't doing **** to improve it. When the deals fall through your school is going to be broke and I'm pretty sure tax payers will have to foot the bill to dig you farmers out of that nasty hole.

Say what you will about him, but I'd be happy as hell if he had ended up a Sooner fan and decided to give us a billion dollars.

(F) By using a tax incentive that was intended to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina

Everytime I hear a puke talk about "cheating gooners" it just makes me smile. They are so righteous but the rape of Oklahoma (see Phillips Petroleum) by their benefactor doesn't seem to bother them at all. They sleep just fine in spite of the literally hundreds of Oklahomans that lost their jobs, homes, etc., because of this old reprobate.

Corporate raiding, while completely legal and lawful, isn't exactly what I would call an "American ideal".

My dad worked for Phillips Petroleum, OSU Aggie. Ask him about the great philanthropist Nose Pickens. Ask him about how Nose Pickens went after Phillips Petroleum, pushed the stock down to $7 a share and cost a lot of good people, including Aggie Lite fans, their jobs. The guy is a scumbag. The reason he roots for OSU is so he can wear flame orange all year and avoid being "accidentally" shot by any hunters who are former Phillips employees.

That's touching... Most people hate rich people. The oil business is volatile, and jobs have been lost for any # reasons. If they don't want to run that specific risk of losing their jobs, they should find another profession. Boone isn't a saint, but I don't think he claims to be. Most rich people have become that way through skeptical ways, and if he were a Sooner he would be lauded by the same people that trash him. Get over it.
