Social Media Roundup: Boone Pickens’ Birthday, Sunsets at Karsten and Royal Wedding Memes

The biggest event to take place on OSU Twitter this week was the 90th birthday celebration of OSU’s biggest donor, Mr. T. Boone Pickens. A number of very special people wished him the best, which you can see if you go to his Twitter account. There’s a slew of other goodies in this week’s Roundup too, I hope you enjoy.

Mr. Pickens turns 90

Happy 90th birthday to the man who changed #okstate athletics forever, @boonepickens. I can't remember what was said, but I'm pretty sure he didn't like my red shirt. pic.twitter.com/v92McbUUIh

It's great to see preseason all Big 12 teams and 2019 WR NFL draft rankings. No one knows who Tyron Johnson is. This will be fun. pic.twitter.com/qyRfLm8JI8

A #TBT hat tip to former @OSUBaseball outfielder Peter Prodanov…maybe my memory is fuzzy, but it seems like when the postseason came around, he always stepped up his game. Big 8 tourney MVP 1994 #okstate #GoPokes pic.twitter.com/TgYbx2J0Lp

I put a ton of Doug’s tweets in these roundups, but just discovered this article on him in the STATE Magazine. Please give it a read.

Views from Karsten Creek

I do not disagree.

Karsten Creek should be the permanent home of the NCAA Golf Championship.

Funny Non-OSU Tweet

Dreamed about my dad last night. We raced somewhere in 1980 style Monte Carlos. Seemed like an imagined track similar to Texas World Speedway. Odd part was Will Smith came by after the race and him and dad talked like they were good friends.
