Given you guys have kinda (there's that Clemson thingy) cornered the market on the Death Valley name, perhaps here's a funding opportunity to take it to the next level: OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Using an idea from billionaire donor Boone Pickens, Oklahoma State will purchase $10 million life insurance policies for 25 of its supporters in a unique fundraising program for the athletic department. Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder said he believes the "Gift of a Lifetime" program is the largest such use of life insurance ever by a college athletic department. The university will pay the insurance premiums for the selected donors, with the athletics department being listed as the beneficiary. _____________________ So, a potential $250 million in the coffins, er, I mean coffers, and all these loyal 25 boosters have to do is die on time. Now that would test your metal as a loyal booster. Hey, buddy, you with us on this... or not!! Two rumors floating around: 1) Each selected particpant will be given a little starter kit: a case of Jack Daniels and a carton of cigarettes. 2) The new fat cat suite area on the west side of the stadium will be named "Death Row".
Sounds like a great idea. This past season I know I saw at least a few hundred geezers on the West side who could all croak at any minute.....
