T Boone Pickens: Big 12-3 needs to think big and add TCU, Houston, Rice, and SMU

Discussing what the conference should do regarding the three members that have left and a potential Mizzou exit, Pickens just tweeted this (which has already been picked up by CBS and ESPN):

#Big12 - if you want to talk expansion you have to think TCU. If you want to talk bigger, Houston makes sense. Even bigger? Rice and SMU.

Thanks Boren. You have absolutely relegated this fine institution into the doldrums for many years to come. Rather than further cultivate our growth in many sports and academically, we are now hoping to "think even bigger" in hopes that Rice and SMU join us in this hell hole.

 

Boone is an idiot

 

*facepalm*

 

@OP are you stupid....???

 

Normally I'd glare and moan about the fact that another conference reallignment has been started, but sure, let's talk about Boone Pickens and the fact that he can't keep. his. mouth. SHUT!

Sept 2: Dallas Morning News:

Sept 3: Austin-American Statesman:

Sept. 5: Deseret News:

Sept. 17: Tulsa World:

Sept 21: CBSSports.com:

And just today: All over the AP wire:

As the Boone Pickens Stadium PA system said every time our band played Boomer Sooner last season, "SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP!"

 

"Even bigger" = Rice and SMU.

Good heavens.

 

Just what we need, three more Texas schools...ugh.

 

or four...I'm dizzy from it all.

 

Who is in charge of OSU -- Hargis or Pickens -- my money is on Boone! Wouldn't you hate to be the President and have a Booster running his mouth all the time. Worst thing is that the media caters to him. UGH.

 

The only two differences between Pickens expressing his opinions about re-alignment and me expressing mine, are a few billion dollars (his) and a few billion brain cells (mine).
Boone is a fan and booster. I am a fan and a booster.

 

Pickens needs to shut his pie hole. Why does anyone care what he thinks? Apparently ESPN thinks we do.

 

We really can't trust OSU anymore, can we? Anytime we try to work with them and give them information, their leadership feels obligated to tell Boone everything, and then, Boone tells everything to the world.

Till he starts giving millions/billions to OU, I say we cut OSU out of future discussions concerning the future conference of OU. That way, no worries about Boone blabbing.

Feel bad, Boone? You're not even an Oklahoman anymore.

 

I'm still processing the apparent fact that Boone tweets...

 

Exactly. I know he likes to project the image of being on the cutting edge of technology and all, but I have a hard time picturing a guy old enough to be my dad tweeting his thoughts and whims to the world.

 

He's hired a team that tweets for him.

 

You're 60?

 

[hairGel] !!!

 

Even though I wouldn't mind adding TCU and Houston, adding those teams means about 4 additional TVs than before..

 

He's a self-fulfilling media magnet. He bought his way into the conversation, and just keeps running his mouth. He has no ability to realize how selfish, obnoxious, and rude he is. He has no authority to make decisions, yet overshadows Hargis every chance he gets.

Its like paying someone to talk to you, pathetic.

 

Like that Family Guy episode on Sunday of Peter Griffin winning the lottery and finding new ways to treat everyone like crap.

Glad he's OSU's problem mostly. I just wish he wasn't partially ours too.
