Today is the first day that Chris “The Birdman” Andersen can officially apply for reinstatement to the National Basketball Association. The reason he gets to apply is because it’s now been two years since he violated the NBA’s drug policy for doing extacy or something.
For us former fans of the Oklahoma City Hornets, this gives us a chance to celebrate and remember the “charlie hustle energy player” that never really seemed to play with much energy or hustle. “Remember when” conversations are also due for people who:
- enjoy ironic billboards
- prefer prognosticative NBA marketing departments
- like for NBA players to buy them drinks at Baker’s Street
- miss the fights at Baker’s Street
- deal drugs
- Write sappy feature stories about professional basketball players who overcome long odds to reach the top but then tragically fall back down
Anyway, I hope The Birdman comes back to Oklahoma City and plays basketball with the Sonics. Just for fun, I hope that Chris Paul, Tyson Chandler and Speedy Claxton’s teeth come back, too.

Apparently, you really do learn something new everyday.
Like today, for example, we learned (from reader comments that you’ll never see) that Amanda from “The Biggest Loser” has a larger fan club than Toby Keith, Megan Mullally and the City of Bethany combined. We also learned that one out of every five individuals would have drunk sex with her over Amis from America’s top model.
Anyway, we (and especially I) now kind of feel kind of bad about the whole thing. Because not only did we make Amanda’s friends and fans mad at us, but we pissed off her husband, too. To make up for this blunder, here is a totally different poll regarding who you’d rather have drunk sex with.
Also, please be sure to take this poll as serious as Amanda’s fans took the other one, because you are at a website called TheLostOgle.com. It just doesn’t get much more serious than that…

Sure, I will probably have to turn in a man card for admitting this, and I run the risk of being knifed in my sleep by Cardboard Jim Traber for publicly acknowledging it as a sport, but I’m starting to dig women’s basketball.
That’s right, I said it: I am enjoying women’s basketball.
As an OSU fan, I have little choice. While I would appreciate being satisfied at watching my football team dismantle a middle of the pack team in the worst major conference at a bowl named after a sponsor who provides a product I have no concept of, or being okay with Sean Sutton swiftly destroying his father’s legacy in the men’s game, I’m not. Truth be told, right now women’s basketball is the one thing I can get behind.
For the 99% of you reading this who spend no time following the sport, it might surprise you to learn that Oklahoma State Cowgirls are currently 16-1 and ranked in the teens of both polls. (Yes, they have polls for Women’s Basketball, too.) Last week, the team destroyed the #6 team in the country (some team called “OU”) in a soldout Gallagher-Iba Arena. (It should be noted that the men’s game played at GIA earlier in the day did not fill up despite national coverage related to Bobby Knight’s attempt to reach 900 career victories.) In that game, sophomore point guard Andrea Riley had a breakout performance by scoring 45 points, then a few days later iced the Big XII preseason favorite, Texas A&M, with the game deciding three pointer.
It is this Andrea Riley who has created the energy around a sport and program that is generally a complete afterthought. Continue reading ‘Caution: Women’s Basketball Manifesto’

Last week, we asked a hypothetical question. On Monday, we lazily teased it. Today, we introduce our new-hopefully-regular-series-that-will-probably-just-become-irregular: The Travels of Cardboard Jim.
And what is the first part of this series?
Just Cardboard Jim crashing a party at my house. You see, my little brother graduated from the prestigious University of Central Oklahoma this past December. To honor him–and to avoid buying a pricey gift–I decided to throw him a belated graduation party on Saturday. Little did I know that The Lost Ogle’s dear friend Cardboard Jim would show up and crash the party, creating a few wild stories for everyone.
Check out the photo timeline after the jump!

Yeah, The three of us are all kind of short on time this week.
You see, Clark Matthews just started his new job as a dishwasher at the Petroleum Club, while Tony has been busy wining and dining Oklahoma City’s finest at Junior’s. Me? I’ve been worrying why I have a picture of Jim Traber in my shower with a Yugoslavia exchange student named Vladimir.
Needless to say, I hope this satisfies all 23 of you all looking for a Monday post. And in a totally related note, I will begin very serious therapy very very soon.

Let’s just say, hypothetically, that you, by stroke of luck, aquired a life-sized cutout of Jim Traber. Just out of curiosity, what would you do with it?

First, the Custer County jail turned into some real life Girls in Prison flick. Then, a month or two later, the founder of Girls Gone Wild claimed he was tortured by jailers in the Grady Country Jail. Now we learn the chick above apparently raped a male inmate at the Okfuskee County Jail by giving him a blow job, or, as The Oklahoman more elegantly stated, “performed oral sex.”
From the court affidavit:
Ms. Pelley wrote in her statement, she entered cell 10 with Bobby Mann. Ms. Pelley stated the two kissed for a while. Ms. Pelley stated she then performed oral sex on Mr. Mann. Ms. Pelley stated she stopped after thinking about what she was doing.
Geeze…no wonder she’s being accused of rape. She pulled the terrible “stopped after thinking about what she was doing” routine! What is she, married to the guy?
Also, when did the Oklahoma County Jail system think it was okay to start reenacting old porn storylines? I thought jail was supposed to be more like “Oz.” Not some Jesse Jane flick. Hell, the alleged rapist is even a 20-year old bisexual ex-cheerleader who’s MySpace page says: “I AM NOT A TYPICAL GIRL… I love to try new things and I like to party and have fun.” It’s like the only thing missing from this whole escapade is some cheesy 1970’s soundtrack and a cleared Internet browsing history.
Anyway, our legislative leaders need to quit focusing on crippling our state economy and instead do something to clean up our county jails. And if not, at least give us webcam access or something.
