COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Billionaire Boone Pickens owned many things in his lifetime, so perhaps it is fitting that the football program that benefited the most from his personal largesse also possesses something of significant value.
Oklahoma State owns West Virginia football.
The Cowboys came to Morgantown and won for the fifth straight time in this series, with three of those games taking place at Milan Puskar Stadium. This year’s defeat is a bit more excusable than the others given No. 21 Oklahoma State’s considerable edge in talent this season. But even with that being the case, the Mountaineers somehow managed to let this one slip away more so than the Cowboys took it from them — much like last season, when they blew a 17-point halftime lead.
