Prior to today’s, matchup with Texas and possibly to quell any potential controversy or distraction, Oklahoma State super-booster and stadium namesake Boone Pickens released a statement via his Twitter account.
Pickens pretty much went in damage-control mode but he didn’t have to and I applaud him for clearing the air. His full statement is in the last tweet below.
Going to clear air on comments regarding @CoachGundy Full statement coming. At 88, competitive spirits not diminishing. #okstate (1)

Have not placed a call to @CoachGundy in years. It's his program to run, not mine. #okstate (3)
