Round 1 / Match 6: #5 Jim Click vs. #28 Dan Bailey

Jim Click, like T. Boone Pickens, may be known more from his business pursuits off the field, than on it. However, his time on the OSU football team was invaluable. Click’s freshman year was in 1963, and he played center and inside linebacker at a whopping 180 lbs. He later became team captain and scholastic All-American. You now can find Click in the Oklahoma State University Hall of Fame.

If you are unfamiliar with Jim Click, it may be because he has garnered many of his accomplishments on the west coast.

From The Evolution of a Cowboy:

Jim has lots of personality, tough physically and tireless work ethic. He owns 15 car dealerships, located both in California and Arizona, and is currently serving as the chairman of the board for the Bank of Tucson. All of these accomplishments have made him one of the most successful business and community leaders in Tucson, Arizona, where he has lived for over 30 years, and is a testament to his resolve to get things done.

There is not a worse feeling in the world as a fan, than having an unreliable kicker in a make-or-break situation. From 2007-2010, Oklahoma State fans did not have this pain. Dan Bailey was one of the most accurate kickers in the NCAA, and now out of college, is most certainly the most accurate kicker in the NFL. While at OSU, Bailey had a 79.2% field goal percentage, and a 99% extra point percentage. During his NFL career, Bailey is working on a 90.6% field goal percentage and a 100% (yes, 100) extra point percentage.

Dan Bailey is a field goal kicking machine, and we are proud to call him a Oklahoma State Cowboy!
