Dear editor,
There is one reason I have always supported Oklahoma State University, and that reason is you. You represent the future of our great nation, not 80-year-olds like me.
I’m hoping and betting we share a lot in common, starting with a love for our university, and a desire to contribute as much as we can. To make this a truly great university, one that can compete athletically and academically with any Big 12 school, we need your help.
My career has been marked by an ability to build good and winning teams. We need to build a team mentality at OSU, and work together to take advantage of increasing momentum with our football stadium improvements. You can contribute to this cause by helping ensure we fill the stadium. I need you to buy a ticket and attend every home football game. The most student tickets ever sold was 12,000. We can do better than that, and give our team the greatest home field advantage it’s ever had.
This is the first year in our newly expanded and renovated stadium. I will attend every home game, and I am asking you to be on the same team with me, and make that same commitment. It will give Coach Gundy and his 2008 OSU Cowboys a real advantage.
I have my tickets. Will I see you at every game?

Yes, you’ll see me in the VIP box sitting next to you in a comfortable recliner. I’ll drive to the game in my windmill-powered car.
