Oklahoma State football thriving as Boone Pickens hits 90

Roger Staubach and Jerry Jones came. So did Walt Garrison and Tom Hicks. Members of the OSU cheer squad and marching band attended.

All came to the Dallas Country Club on Saturday to celebrate Boone Pickens' 90th birthday.

Others sent video tributes. Ted Turner and Burt Reynolds. Warren Buffet and Carl Icahn. George Strait and Garth Brooks. Mike Gundy and Barry Switzer.

The latter joked that Pickens should have been a Sooner and that an entire offense could have been named in his honor. The WishBoone.

Boone Pickens, right, talks with Oklahoma State president Burns Hargis in March at the football team's pro day.
