We are Bowl Bound!


The Boone State Cowboys are set to go to the Insight Bowl in Tempe, AZ, which will be played on New Years Eve. The Insight Bowl will be televised on the NFL network. Here's where the challenge is...because of disputes on where to carry the network with cable companies, only 1/3 of American households have access to the NFL Network. Factor in the "broad" fan base the Cowboys have, and we don't even know if anyone will get to watch the game. Pistols Firing will run an exclusive three part series on this quandary. Here is our first part...
The Landthieves Marketing Association of Oklahoma (LMAO) set out in a quest to find an Boone State Cowboy fan that had the NFL network via cable provider or dish. Fortunately, we were able to find such a fan, his assumed name is Dexter Parker, a marijuana farmer just outside of Perkins, Oklahoma. Parker is a quiet man, who likes to grow weed and watch football. "The casino nearby has brought so much petty crime into the area that the cops don't even pay attention to my marijuana farm anymore. It's a pretty sweet deal," says Parker. "I use some of the extra cash to pay for my Dish Network subscription so I can get all the NFL games and follow all the Cowboy greats in the NFL, like R.W. McQuarters. The fact that the Insight Bowl game is on the NFL network won't bother me at all."
We weren't able to find anyone else. Tune in tomorrow when we hope to get Boone Pickens involved.
