  • T. Boone Pickens doesn't lose sleep over Missouri.

T. Boone Pickens doesn't care about Missouri. The billionaire benefactor behind Oklahoma State athletics said just that during a video interview with the Austin American Statesman (see the video after the jump). Asked if OSU and the Big 12 Minus Two needed Missouri now with the defections of Nebraska and Colorado.

"I don't have to have 'em," Pickens said.

Pickens did say he feels loyalty to Kansas, Kansas State and Iowa State

... but again, he doesn't care about Missouri.

Let the OSU-Mizzou rivalry begin.

Mizzou is a joke and were bitch slapped back into thier place. How do all the tiggers feel about having the same station in life as KU and KSU? A scene from pulp fiction comes to mind: Texas fans are Butch and MU fans are Marsellus, and Zed is the Big 10:

Butch: You okay?

Marsellus: Nah, man. I'm pretty fucking far from okay.
[Zed screams and moans in agony]

Butch: What now?

Marsellus: What now? Let me tell you "what now". I'm gonna call a couple of hard, pipe-hitting niggers to go to work on the homes here with a pair of pliers and a blow torch. [to Zed] You hear me talking, hillbilly boy?! I ain't through with you by a damn sight! I'm gonna get medieval on your ass!

Butch: I meant, what now between me and you.

Marsellus: Oh, that "what now". I tell you what now between me and you. There is no "me and you". Not no more.

Butch: So we cool?

Marsellus: Yeah, we cool. Two things: one, don't tell nobody about this. This shit is between me, you, and Mr. soon-to-be-living-the-rest-of-his-short-ass-life-in-agonizing-pain rapist here. It ain't nobody else's business. Two, you leave town tonight, right now, and when you gone, you stay gone. Or you be gone. You lost all your L.A. privileges. Deal?

Butch: Deal.

Marsellus: Now get your ass out of here.

We heard for almost a month from Mizzou fans about how Mizzou's "superior" academics and football prowess aligned them better with the Big 10.

Haven't Mizzou fans learned by now not to get cocky? What developments in the entire history of your school would lead you to believe something positive was going to transpire for you?

I think it's safe to say that no one cares if Missouri stays or goes. They're the new Colorado.
