GAME UPDATE 🚨 We will resume tonight’s game at 4 p.m. CT tomorrow (May 22), which is the original start time for game two of the Super Regional. There will not be another game after game one is completed, with game two set for Saturday, May 23, at 4 p.m. CT 🤠 📝 okla.st/4tKFLHr #GoPokes

@TheCGATour Maybe ask AI/google how much Ross McKnight has donated instead of connections to other affluent OSU donors. A Google search shows $40 million in the first few articles so that’s definitely not minimal prior to adding any other donations.

While Ross McKnight is known for his fundraising prowess with others, his personal contributions are notably minimal. A true testament to his influence and ability to rally support. #okstate #CowboyNation

@cowboyurbanight If not drawn yet then I’ll throw my name in the drawing. Great offer!

Don folded up, should I do a giveaway? If you want to fly to OKC Friday/Saturday & stay in a 4 Star hotel or my guest bedroom(I live on a top 5 CC in OKC), a free ticket(4 rows up) to the Iowa vs OSU dual, & a free flight back to wherever. RT or reply to this tweet and you’re entered. I’ll pick the winner at 5pm tomorrow

@WCMLPodcast Ed Gallagher

Who can name the only former D1 head coach who never wrestled a D1 match?

@SteveThunderfan I’m already thinking about the summer of 2028 and I’m concerned about SGA and Dort playing for team Canada a few weeks after a title run. lol

Definitely gonna keep occasionally rewatching the best parts of the Playoff run ☺️

@de_la_cruz Do multiple personalities count? Some folks have a ton of friends that way! lol

Crazy y’all aren’t having kids. I have a mini best friend to hang with. Kid gets cooler everyday.

FDR was a shit president and the closest America has ever come to a dictator. -He was the only U.S. president to serve more than two terms and literally had to die in office to leave it. Term limits were literally added because of him. Previously, it was just a respected tradition. -He authorized the internment of over 110,000 Japanese Americans, most of them U.S. citizens, stripping them of their rights and throwing them into concentration camps. -He confiscated all privately held gold, criminalizing gold ownership and forcing Americans to sell it to the government at a fixed price. Then raised the price afterward, devaluing the dollar. -When the Supreme Court struck down multiple New Deal programs as unconstitutional, he threatened to pack the Court by adding extra justices who would ok his policies. -During the Great Depression, the Roosevelt administration paid farmers to destroy crops and slaughter livestock to artificially raise prices, even while millions were starving. -He refused to support anti-lynching legislation, fearing it would alienate Southern Democrats. Despite repeated efforts by civil rights groups, he prioritized political alliances over human rights.

@SteveThunderfan I hate giving a lawyer answer of “it depends” but that is the case here. It could be a 5 year term to the seat or through the stadium life. The big three locked in could generate nine figures at the move.

@taylorvenus So.. just more expensive season tickets? All I’m saying is that like when Taylor Swift comes, the Thunder won’t get that money like the Warriors do.

OKC’s new arena is gonna open when Chet, Dub, and Shai are 26, 27, and 30 and under contract for 3 more years. What a great time to open a new arena.

@SteveThunderfan The team is paying 58k per home game with a 3% annual increase on their lease so they can do what they want. The best way is just google “PSL new stadium” to explain.

@taylorvenus How’s that work? I’m just saying they’ll still get the game rev but it’s not like they own the arena and will rake in the bucks like the Warriors.

@SteveThunderfan If they go with personal seat licenses like many other professional teams do with new arenas then they could make a ton!

MacMahon on Hoop Collective tho was acting like the Thunder would gain a bunch of revenue from it, and he also is aware the Thunder are only putting in 50M.. not sure you can really have it both ways.

@SteveThunderfan For sure. My real thought is focused more on us being able to keep the roster going when the CBA is redone and IHart being here after next year instead of this repeater tax fear mongering.

@taylorvenus The players get exactly their % whether every team decides to operate at the floor or if Ballmer decides to have a 400M payroll. It just moves money around within the ~50%

To sustain long-term, OKC probably has to hit one or twice on a current rookie, or better yet a 2026 or 2027 pick as a real rotation piece. Nothing’s guaranteed in the draft, but it sure is nice to have 3 1sts + some 2nds in exactly both of those drafts. Almost seems planned.

@SteveThunderfan I’m not disagreeing on BRI but that’s why there is the floor and the pseudo hard cap under the tax penalties. The penalties don’t make it back to the players.

@taylorvenus Nah that’s not how it works. The players get their ~50% of BRI no matter how high the tax bill gets.

@SteveThunderfan It the tax is weaker the teams will spend more on the players.

@taylorvenus Idk maybe, but the players don’t get more money if there’s more tax.

Before corporate partnerships. Before public investment funds. Before the PGA Tour had private jets and nine-figure bonus distributions. There was Waco Turner. And his tournament in tiny Burneyville, Oklahoma — the richest event in golf. 🔗reddirtgolf.com/stories/poor-b…
