Safe to say, Boone Pickens is happy Baker Mayfield and Bob Stoops will no longer be on the Oklahoma sideline.

In an interview with The Oklahoman, the Oklahoma State megabooster talked at length about the Bedlam football series. He has regularly been critical of Cowboy coach Mike Gundy for not beating the Sooners more.

“I know I ruffled a few feathers when I said Mike couldn’t beat OU,” Pickens said via email. “I’ve shifted my focus. I think Mike can beat Lincoln Riley, and I want to be there when it happens.”
