T. Boone on The Ticket

[tru2ou]

T. Boone Pickens will be on with The Musers on The Ticket in Dallas at 8:40 this morning. They are billing it as him being ticked about donating all this money and seeing no improvement from the team. :-)

[soonerinabilene]

impossible. That would require a poke fan to be logical.

[jk the sooner fan]

there's a huge article on T. Boone on the front page of the Dallas Morning News

interesting read

the old saying "a fool and his money......."

came to mind

being ticked about donating all this money and seeing no improvement from the team
wait a sec... the facilities aren't even done yet.

this would be like rich uncle Gaylord complaining that OU isn't graduating smarter journalists or the football team isn't drawing more fans before... *sigh* Gaylord Hall and the *double sigh* Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium were finished.

How do you expect a newly renovated stadium to help the team on an AWAY game?!?! AHHHH! AGGIE LOGIC HURTING MY SOONER BRAIN!!!!

and as usual, its not the real T Boone, just a comedy bit

here's the DMN article:

I think this says it all

Oklahoma State officials want a Big 12-champion football program, but they have a long way to go:

• The Cowboys' last conference title: 1976

• Last time OSU lost fewer than two conference games in a season: 1956 (2-1-1)

• Last win over a top-15 nonconference team: 1984 (No. 12 Arizona State)

• Winning seasons since 1988: five (including 7-6 last season)

• Nine-win seasons since 1988: one (9-4 in 2004)

• Big 12 record the last three seasons: 8-16

why doesnt he just buy a professional team and go that route

[fadada1]

why doesnt he just buy a professional team and go that route
their offense is better than any pro team.


DUH!

Pickens reminds me of Ross Perot for some silly reason.

[OSUAggie]

• Last win over a top-15 nonconference team: 1984 (No. 12 Arizona State)

That one isn't accurate.

We actually have a winning record against "non-conference top-15 teams" since that '84 win over ASU (4-3).

Also, it was stupid how close we were to putting 40 points on the board in Athens. ;)

[goingoneight]

It's all good, Gundora. :D They're just messin' witcha. ;)

[Stoop Dawg]

With 5:52 left, the Pickens party is heading out of the suite.

Pickens tips the bus driver $200 for getting everyone back to his private jet quickly.

hahahahahaha

[Flagstaffsooner]

hahahahahahaSomeday that old cuss is going to realize what a futile attempt he has made.

[Stoop Dawg]

I think OU's goal this year should be to see how early we can get Pickins back on his bus.


"Then, that Alamo Bowl game against Ohio State proved to me he wanted out. Ohio State beat us like 100-to-nothing. I left at halftime, flew home and watched the fourth quarter from my bed. "

Looks like halftime is the time to beat.

There are two things that money can't buy:
1. true love
2. a Big XII championship for the aggies

All that money and he won't even stay until the final whistle.

Every game I've ever been to, in any sport, I always stay until it's over. I don't care if my team is getting creamed, I ain't leaving.

Just goes to show he's a fair weathered fan, like 90% of the pokes football fans :D
