After two weeks, 32 match-ups and over 9,500 votes, the second round of Ogle Madness gets started today with a slate of games from the East Region. But…before we totally dive into the “Field of 32″, lets review some highlights from the first round:
Biggest Upset: (12) Brent Skarky over (5) Dean Blevins, 136-126
Notes: In the NCAA tournament, a 5 beats a 12 almost every year. It holds true in Ogle Madness, too. Also, I’m not sure if this is coincidence or not, but Skarky got a lot of votes on the same day we were getting a bunch of search engine traffic on Sally Kern stuff. I’m just saying…
Closest Game: The Morning Animals over Tony, 132-130
Notes: Tony blew a big first half lead in this one. It is rumored that Nichols Gallardia inspired his legion of plebes and commoners to vote.
Biggest Blowout: Lauren Richardson over Oral Roberts, 236-40
Notes: Nobody thought that the Oral-Richardson battle would be close, but we thought that some of our Tulsa readers may vote for their home town boy. We thought wrong!
Most Surprising Blowout: Rick & Brad over Jack & Ron, 294-91
Notes: Jack and Ron allegedly have the most popular morning show in Oklahoma City. You would have thought that their fans would have been more supportive.
Most Surprisingly Close Game: Mike Beckett over Hinder, 194-146
Notes: This is why anonymity the Internet is great. In Ogle Madness, you can not only support Hinder without being made fun of, but you can also cast a vote for a man who ripped off another man’s scrotum. Life sure is great!
Anyway, enough with the nostalgia. Here are the games from the second round of the East Regional. These games will all be played at the Marvel Family Camping Resort in Gore. The winners advance to the the Sweet 16 in Tulsa.
- (1) Gary England vs. (8) Kevin Ogle
- (4) Berry Tramel vs. (5) Sunni Kate Golloway
- (3) Chuck Norris vs. (11) Taul Paul
- (2) Sam Bradford vs. (7) Jim Traber
You can check out the details of each match-up and cast your votes after the jump. Voting is allowed until midnight tonight. Be sure to check us out tomorrow to vote for the second round battles from the Midwest Region.

I demand a recount.
Barry Tramel always looks like he rolled out of a dumpster.
If Traber can’t pull off the upset behind the sympathy vote, I don’t know if Sam Bradford can be beat.
tramel does not have a voice for radio or a face for tv. he should stick to print media.
I’ll put my money on Sunni Kate. Oh, and by the way, I think Traber just had his head removed - or perhaps a plexiglass navel installed so he can see where he’s going - nothing serious
go sunni
Barry Trammel is one of my many children of the night….
Sunni Kate vs. Lord Gary in the next round? Yikes. I better not get ahead of myself but I can already feel the internal struggle…
Traber is a hypochondriac, at 2pm this afternoon you will hear all about his current sickness, cmon Jim even a train stops.
No doubt, STFU Traber, nobody cares about your new illness EVERY WEEK.
that darn cartoon-hick pitchman better not win or i’m gonna track down each and every one of you anti-chuck voters and kick a$$ right into next week.
sunni has no tan lines. natural color or a nekkid fake & baker?
The Ultimate is behind, but we can help him rally back and get the best radio host ever to the Final Four and a national championship. The Ultimate has been giving us great radio for about 16 years so it’s the least we can do is cast a vote for him.
Great to hear he’s feeling better. OKC radio needs The Ultimate. Only The Ultimate can do radio on a high level. Can’t wait til he’s back on the air and showing some of those yardbirds how it’s done.
Must be Jims mother, only a mother would write that DRIVEL.
Has anyone pointed out Jimmy was in the Bigs? *spit*
Ok, jim traber comments that are getting old:
the word “yardbirds”
“I used to be in the bigs”
spit
“help my son break in his old glove”
The first, second, and third times these were used, they were funny, but after 100, is just shows how unoriginal you are.
What about “truth serem”??
RE: Jack and Ron loss, “You would have thought that their fans would have been more supportive.”
Darn that fan illiteracy! If only J&R fans could have found a way to mark an “X” on the computer screen so you all could count their votes!
what did sunni kate do to piss off the selection committee? i mean she has 25 wins, played a vicious non-conference schedule, two members on the all-conference team, won her conference tournament…geez, talk about a slap in the face to get a 5 seed.
I propose a venue change to the far-superior Fin and Feather Resort, also in Gore.
Wow. 43 people have voted against Sunni. And Sally Kern hates them all!
In Tony’s defense, I think there are 132 members of the Morning Animal broadcast team.
Sunni Kate wins with a stomach so flat it could double as a pool table.
Neither Tramel nor Traber have a face for radio or a voice for print. Can’t we drop them off in Overholser with cinderblocks around their legs?
