According to KOCO’s web site, this video aired November 27th. Once again: Not punctual.
Somehow I missed this video the first time around. But last night I did what I always do after spending the evening drinking heavily and doing eight balls of blow: I spent the night surfing Channel 5’s web site. This is when I ran across this video.
Now. I like both Mark Rodgers and Chris Callahan, and the fine people at KOCO have truly been exceedingly good sports about this little experiment we call The Lost Ogle, so I say this with the utmost respect: Just what, say, in the world, is the news value of this piece? This serves as a 3-minute advertisement for Channel 5 and for OU baseball.
All of this is part of the trend towards a focus on personalities as opposed to actual news. Channel 4 tries three or four ways to kill Lance West, the Ogle’s throw open airtime to the insane ramblings of viewers, and now Mark and Chris coach the OU baseball team. Cool. A lot of this can be entertaining stuff. It’s also one of the reasons this blog exists.
What’s most fun is trying to guess what stunt the local media will pull next. Anyone have some ideas? Maybe Mike Morgan and Dean Blevins try their hand at selling used cars? Andrew Speno does man-on-the-street interviews trying to find out if anyone knows who he is? My personal hope is that Rusty McCranie gets his own personal segment that’s like one of those VH1 dating shows and that it’s called Doppler of Love.
Amanda Taylor Vs Cherokee Ballard at the Winstar so they can do spots on how the Indian Casinos are pumping so much cash into our economy.
So does this mean that Mark/Chris’ daughters now have to pose for Girls of the Big XII?
(If either of these men have daughters, I apologize for this joke.)
I still like your Oklahoma Weatherman “Survivor” idea that would take place inside the confines of Arbuckle Wilderness.
Also, since we talk about ourselves a whole bunch, does this post make us hypocrites? Should I turn down the offer to be the guest choreographer for the Oklahoma Cavs Dance Team?
Nah. People who mistake this site as a place purporting to be a news organization should probably be institutionalized. Choreograph away, Sally.
I think a spelling bee would be great. Maybe that should be the next power poll. Or maybe an episode of justice league.
When are they going to dress Lance West like a Texas fan and send him into Henry Hudsons?
I’ll be waiting for Lance, ready to teach him what happens to those who wear Longhorn gear in this state.
I think Bob Barry Jr and Sr. should wrestle is a huge kiddie pool of mayo, to settle the arguemt once and for all and which Barry reins supreme.
Bob Barry Sr.’s other son, the failed pro-tennis player was my 8th grade science teacher. Just thought I’d throw that out there.
Don’t be hatin on Callahan…the guy’s a stud…plus go ahead and try to find video of him urinating on air.
