The value in Okie State is held by T Boone Pickens.,.....

The man is in his 80's now...,....

Made his money green mailing other companies getting bought off to go away.

See also Carl Ichan, Ivan Boesky, Perry Bass, Sid Richardson et al

Richardson and Bass are the money behind Baylor by the way. Old oil money.

The real slap in T Boone Pickens face was when his own financial guy David Batchelder turned on him and bought TBoone's company Mesa Petroleum.

It's called drilling on Wall Street.

Interesting business and I'm glad not
To be in Houston right now. Blood flowing
In the streets and hallways of oil& gas companies.

It's musical chairs....music stops and there's fewer chairs.
Fewer jobs and companies.

Texas, OU, Kansas, TCU, OkSt., WVU, Baylor, TT, KSt., Iowa St. -- chuckd4vt 05/07/2016 1:17PM

Texas, OU, Kansas, TCU, OkSt., WVU, Baylor, TT, KSt., Iowa St. ** -- chuckd4vt 05/07/2016 1:13PM

My order is as follows -- goldendomer 05/06/2016 6:08PM

I don't think so. My order -- Tailgate Guru 05/07/2016 11:12AM

Mostly agree. I'd drop TT down behind ISU. ** -- daveinop 05/06/2016 8:33PM

WVU after Iowa State or Texas Tech? -- VaTechHokiesACC 05/06/2016 7:41PM

WVU academics and not furtile recruiting -- goldendomer 05/06/2016 8:09PM

Yeah but we're not talking about academics here. It's all about sport -- corvt2000 05/09/2016 09:20AM

Those are the WVU downsides. -- HOO86 05/08/2016 7:34PM

Can they be competitive without the massive numbers of JUCOs they have now? -- daveinop 05/08/2016 9:04PM

WVU has about 7 or 8 JUCOs on its roster at the moment -- Tailgate Guru 05/08/2016 9:21PM

I don't think there is historical precedent. The Big 12 -- daveinop 05/09/2016 08:37AM

But Texas Tech also brings neither -- Tailgate Guru 05/07/2016 11:19AM

Fair enough -- VaTechHokiesACC 05/06/2016 9:11PM

I don't think we consider athlete admission standards enough in these -- daveinop 05/07/2016 08:32AM

As would WVU ** -- mrcaniac 05/07/2016 1:41PM

I'd place TCU 5th in that top 5. -- Old Line Hokie 05/06/2016 5:30PM

TCU is an awesome place. Son starts there in August ** -- hokie4ever 05/06/2016 5:46PM
