    You got THAT right. Nobody has "won" until they quit with the money...

    The markets are like a 40-year poker game.

    Hubris best be kept in check...

    i think that's actually quite funny

    the problem is not pickens screwing them, the problem is their lack of priorities in the first place

    college football started out as exercise for college kids as a break from their studies

    now, midwestern colleges have million dollar + coaching salaries while college becomes unaffordable to the citizens whose taxes paid for the school in the first place

    a state school has more sacred cows than india

    they continually move into DUMB and grandious projects while the taxpayers tighten their own belts

    sure, pickens is a prick, but would this have happened in the first place if state schools had ANY sense of priorties in their first place?

    i jope the good citizens of oklahoma completely turn on the school's administration - it was their own stupidity that allowed this to happen - THEY are responsible

    That is a heck of a lot of money for a college athletic program to owe.

    once you start to borrow against future returns in markets you know your ego has gotten too big. and the funny thing is, pickens was right, he called for $150 then he got it, he said a global recession would get oil down and it happened
