Wheeden is 26 years old. Which means that 8 years ago, he was 18 years old.

He was probably recruited by Les Miles to play for Oklahoma State back then.

Therefore:

Mike Gundy = Winning with Miles' players.

Pickens is a megalamaniacal a-hole. Rich, yes. But still an a-hole.

Most billionaires feel they are above it all and bulletproof, Pickens is no exception.

You hit the nail on the head my friend. Who cares about anything but Winning? Lee, Jefferson win the next four games and we will be undisputed champs with a great shot to repeat next year. STFU and enjoy it you bunch of self loathing, whiny, step brother syndrome having morons.

I'm sure there are a subset of OSU fans who are bitter about Miles departure, just as a similar subset of fans here are bitter with Saban. Apparently Pickens fits himself in this category. His money has bought him a pretty big bullhorn to speak his mind.

It's all pretty typical chatter until this ego-maniacal gem: The folks at Oklahoma State wanted to try to keep him, and I said, 'If you do, one of your top donors will no longer be enthusiastic.'

So now Boone wants us to believe he leveraged Les out with his God-like influence....

I hope you do. It's funny how money can really change a school. It hasn't been too long ago that Oklahoma State went to Troy University to play(big schools don't reguarly come to Troy) and got their butts beat, and now they may be playing for the national championship.

Pickens is going to be seriously disappointed when Oklahoma beats Okie St. and they don't get to go to the big show. I suspect that it will be LSU and Alabama.

I bet Pickens wishes he had Miles for Bedlam. In 105 years, OSU has won 16. Miles was 2-2 after taking over one of the shittiest programs in the country. By the way, they haven't won since he left.

As I remember they were glad to get rid of Les. Les's character is unquestionable. Remember Boone bet on wind power so take that into consideration when considering his decision making.

No need to look to Pickens and OSU fans. Miles goes 10-0 for the first time in decades and LSU fans get their panties in a wad because he doesn't start Lee. We are plenty good at criticizing Miles without outside help.
Totally agree

Pickens completely controls this university and he is trying his best to 'buy' a championship. I don't know if anything illegal is going on there, but Pickens answers to no one.

He has put in all he can for facilities, stadium, etc., will he move to purchasing players next?

Pickens just got his feelings hurt that someone would want to leave that dirt hole.

We got your back Les! Hey Boone . . .
