Oklahoma's David Boren spent about 10 minutes Wednesday saying goodbye to the school he served as president for the last 23 years.
In his public remarks, he didn't drop any hints about conference realignment or the Big 12 being "psychologically disadvantaged" by its 10 members or expansion - the greatest hits from the last few years. Those off-the-cuff riffs made the former governor and U.S senator a reporter's dream and a commissioner's nightmare.
Neither did Boren mention the hire of football coach Bob Stoops and athletic director Joe Castiglione. Nor he did mention the decision to elevate Lincoln Riley as Stoop's successor, all of which shaped OU's athletic department into one of the nation's most successful.
