Boone Pickens was such a big supporter of OSU. His name is on the football stadium, the only logical place to put this statue in his likeness. It is a life-size sculpture on a 3' tall brick podium. He wears slacks and a v-neck shirt with the OSU logo on the left. His left hand is inside his pants pocket. His right hand is held up at about a 90º angle, pointer finger and thumb raised in the "Go Pokes" symbol.

Text on plaque:
Boone Pickens
Born in Holdenville, Oklahoma, "where the pavement ends, the west begins and the Rock Island crosses the Frisco." Boone was put on this earth to make money and be generous with it. He excelled at both. Boone left behind an undying love for America and the hope it presents for all. He left a passion for entrepreneurship and the promise it sustains. He left the belief that future generations can and will do better than his own. He changed Oklahoma State University forever. He was and forever will remain "The greatest Cowboy of them all."
