Actually, we are not sure if Dave Morris wears these new Wimgo boxers, but it wouldn’t surprise us. It also wouldn’t surprise us if Dave wears this stylish Wimgo trucker hat to the VIP section at Cafe Nova, or if his smoking hot girlfriend wears this Wimgo pink shirt to bed each night. It would surprise us if Dave ever wore one of these.
Anyway, this little tidbit is part of something that we are going to call WTF is Wimgo Week, which will be a crash-course examination of the new OPUBCO website that some are already declaring the new “Facebook” for Oklahoma City. Or as Rikki from OPUBCO told us in the following email correspondence:
The Lost Ogle: Can you explain to us what this website (wimgo) is supposed to be or do? All we can seem to find are videos of Berry Tramel talking about how he likes Oklahoma City’s lack of traffic.
Rikki from OPUBCO: Thank you for your email. Wimgo is what’s going on and where to go in Oklahoma. From museums to theatres, fundraisers to festivals, concerts to karaoke and sporting events to craft shows, we’re your source for things to do. When you need to find a business, an event, or anything Oklahoma - wimgo is the tool that gets it done. The advantage of wimgo is the extensive network of local organizations that make sure the content is accurate and comprehensive!
When you brought up the site, did you not see the spolight event block, “One click event” or anything else besides the video of Berry Tramel? If you didn’t could you please send us a screen shot of what you saw so that we might fix the problem?
Hmmn. Seems a little lofty. We kind of think that Wimgo is just another attempt (see: Look at OKC) by the Oklahoman to look cool, and that the real purpose of the site is to milk advertisers for every penny (which is kind of proven after watching this little video). But then again, we also believe the state capitol should be moved to Beaver and that Seiling should be home to an important national monument, so try to take it all with a grain of salt…

The Sweet 16 of Ogle Madness begins today with the East Regional Semifinals. The games will be played at the Union High School gym in Tulsa. Here are today’s two match-ups:
(1) Gary England vs. (5) Sunni Kate Golloway
(2) Sam Bradford vs. (3) Chuck Norris
This is why Ogle Madness is so great. It’s the Sweet 16 and we have a weather deity, hot naked chick, 20-year-old quarterback, and a karate & urban legend battling it out for the two spots to the Elite 8. Vote after the jump.

If you haven’t done your taxes yet, and can’t afford to have Clark Matthews do them, I have an alternative for you.
This video was done by a buddy of mine, a nice Oklahoma boy who’s gone off to Hollywood to make it big and/or sell his soul to the devil. He’s the chap playing Ricardo. Watch and enjoy, and then come back tomorrow for Ogle Madness. The Sweet 16 begins and the East Regional is the first group up with Gary England taking on Sunni Kate Golloway and Sam Bradford matched up with Chuck Norris.

This picture has been posted on The Lost Ogle before. It was hidden in our list of ideas for the Oklahoma Ideas Initiative. Any idea where this beautiful parking lot is located? First person to correctly place the location wins a free copy of next weeks Gazette.

Another exciting week of Ogle Madness has finished, and the field of 64 65 has been whittled down to 16. There have been blowouts, there have been nailbiters, and there have been allegations of match-fixing. The games have been discussed at water coolers from Purcell to Guthrie and from Choctaw to Yukon.
After this sweet video from the defunct OKC band The Black Tie Event (now mostly reincarnated as Beyond the Infrared), we’ll recap the week’s action and preview the Sweet 16.

I’m not actually sure this is Toby, but it did take place in Bethany and it did involve a “sick individual,” so chances are it was. Someone at KWTV needs to tell him this is not the best way to get votes in Ogle Madness.
The AP:
BETHANY, Okla. (AP) — Police in Bethany are looking for what Chief Neal Troutman calls a “sick individual” who’s leaving notes asking for women to give him their underwear.
Troutman said the person is knocking on doors and leaving notes with specific instructions asking for the undergarments.
The notes say the women will be given $20.
Troutman says the person apparently has a fetish and police are worried about what he’ll do next.

So yesterday we had our first nail-biter of the Field of 32 with Brent Skarky taking Toby Rowland down to the wire. Granted, it was controversial, but it was good to finally have a close match. Also, other than Curtis Fitzpatrick or Clark Matthews’ hair stylist, can anyone name me a more perfect Cinderella than Brent Skarky?
Anyway, today’s match-ups are:
- (1) Brad Henry vs. (9) Jamie Ceretta
- (4) Jessica Schambach vs. (5) Mark Rodgers
- (3) Wayne Coyne vs (6) Mike Gundy
- (2) Bob Stoops vs. (7) Linda Cavanaugh
After the jump, we visit the Cowchip Festival in Beaver to check out the action.

Yesterday’s games were a bit disappointing in that there were no nailbiters, but the good news is there are some dynamite matchups coming up in the Sweet 16. Let’s hope today’s games provide for some drama. Here they are:
- (1) Kelly Ogle vs. (9) Patrick
- (4) Toby Rowland vs. (12) Brent Skarky
- (3) Jesse Jane vs. (11) Aubrey McClendon
- (7) The Morning Animals vs. (2) Lauren Richardson
After the jump, we head out to Eliza Cruce Hall Doll Museum in Ardmore to check out the action.

Generally, a sports franchise is only named once in its lifetime. They are like children that way. For instance, when I moved out of the house, my mother did not demand that I leave the name Clark behind. My mother is obviously not Seattle, Washington.
While this has been speculated on for awhile, news broke Tuesday that Clay Bennett may actually consider caving to this Seattleian desire as a bargaining chip in lease buyout negotiations. This does not sit well with me. My beef is that any name that we could come up is going to sound like it is best suited for a minor league franchise. That’s because it takes a long time for a team name to become so ingrained that one does not question how stupid it sounds. Take, for instance, the Supersonics. Who in their right mind would want to play for a team with such a dumb name? Except with forty years of history behind the name, it makes sense. Also, the last time the city had a team to name, it became the Yard Dawgz.
I voiced these concerns to my fellow Lost Ogles and they were very sympathetic.
“We’re getting a team, quit crying,” said Patrick.
Then Tony said nothing because he’s still giving me the silent treatment over my passionate support of the “Yes” vote. “Tell Clark they should name them the ‘Tax Ripoffs’,” he finally relented to Patrick.
Because we are who we are, though, we came up with a list of potential names which come after the jump…along with my (because I am who I am) analysis of the history of name changes. Continue reading ‘Name Oklahoma’s NBA Franchise’

It’s not every day you run across the picture of a local morning jock going all brokeback on a former Heisman winning quarterback. That’s why I can’t decide which angle to take when making fun of the picture.
At first I was thinking I would question the location of Ron’s pool stick. But that seemed too obvious, so I figured I would write about Jason White finally pursuing his dream of being a professional center, but then I remembered that I played center for the Southside Chiefs in elementary school, and my snarky comment could be hypocritical. Then I remembered this old post that Tony wrote back when we had 10 readers a day, and that I could maybe speculate that Jason White was the guy, but that seemed pretty boring. Then my brain got all confused like a plot in the Justice League and I just gave up.
Anyway, that’s why I’m going to ask for help from you, our dedicated reader. Whoever writes the best, most funny one-lined caption for the picture above wins their choice of one of the following things:
• A limited edition Lost Ogle T-Shirt
• A limited edition date with Blythe
• Lunch with Clark Matthews
So, we’ll be accepting comments all week folks. Be sure to tip your waitresses and bar staff on the way out.
