Some people would hang their heads if they couldn't get coach Gillispie to coach basketball for their alma mater. But that's not what our friend T. Boone Pickens did. "If you can't land the best basketball coach in the land," he said in a recent fictitious interview, "maybe you can do the next best thing and work to reduce the United States' dependence on foreign oil."

I'm very impressed. It's definitely something to see for those who were panning him for his perceived undue influence with the OSU athletic department.
