The Mascot Confusion

"Gundy..."

"Yes? Is that you, God?"

"No, it's T-Boone. T-Boone Pickens."

"Oh.  Hi."

"Mike, can you tell me what happened out there today?"

"Well, Mr. Pickens, we lost."

"To...?"

"Iowa State..."

"Mike, I thought I hired A MAN."

"You did!"

"I'm not happy.  We lost our #2 ranking."

"I know sir, but, well sir, we were hoodwinked!"

"How so?"

"Well, we knew we were playing the Cyclones, so we thought we for sure had them beat.  I mean, surely we're equiped to handle Cyclones.  We're from Oklahoma!"

"And?"

"Well, we show up to play and there weren't just Cyclones.  There were birds too.  Birds with teeth."

"And?"

"Well sir, it's just GARBAGE!  It was like we had to play the bird teeth team and not the cyclone team.  We could have beat the cyclone team.  Because we're totally prepared for tornadoes and stuff like that.  Cause we're from Oklahoma!"

"Are there birds in Oklahoma?"

"Well, yes, but we were looking for Cyclones!"

"Well, Mike..."

"I know Mr. Pickens! I'm sick about it! It MAKES ME WANNA PUKE!  But now we know.  Cyclones and teeth birds!"

"Sigh..."
