Immediately following Oklahoma State’s upset victory of the University of Missouri football team a barrage of nasty rumors surfaced that OSU and billionaire booster T. Boone Pickens may have used unethical means to assist in the Cowboys victory last Saturday. Mizzou quarterback Chase Daniel, who threw three costly interceptions including the last with less than two minutes to play clinching the game for the Cowboys; was quoted as saying to the media that he “should have made all three of those throws.” However, a report later surfaced that Daniel was overheard speaking privately about the interceptions to his head coach, Gary Pinkel. One source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that Daniel was complaining about an abnormal amount of strong wind that seemed to “push his passes back and in the direction of his opponents” as they were thrown. He said “there is no way a Heisman Hopeful as good as me could have made three errors like that without some other explainable cause.”

Rumors have circulated that T. Boone Pickens, a strong advocate for alternate energy sources including an enormous wind powered farm in Texas, may be the mastermind behind the shenanigans that lead to Missouri’s demise. Although, nothing has been proven at this early date, there does (at least initially) appear to be evidence linking Pickens and OSU to the possible scandal.

Columbia resident Cletus Bumpkin said, “At the time of the game no one was paying attention to them two really big fans at the end of the fields” referring to the large wind turbines that may have been strategically placed directly behind each goal post. “We just thought it was kind of hot, but in hindsight maybe we should have paid a little more attention rather than kissing up on our cousins.”

The Big XII has said they will investigate the issue using every resource available, including any camera video evidence that may have captured the wind turbines in action; however, they did go on to say that there must be “conclusive evidence from the booth" to overturn the results of the game.

In other news, Missouri fans nationwide are one by one conceding to KU fans that maybe Oklahoma State “isn’t a cupcake after all” as previous stated after KU’s 2007 road win in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
