Earlier this evening we unveiled the Ogle Madness III Tournament on 105.3 The Spy.  The number one seed in this year’s event are:

East: Gary England
Midwest: Olivia Munn
South: Kristin Chenowith
West: Carrie Underwood

To view the complete bracket, click here.  To take a look at stuff related to Ogle Madness I and Ogle Madness II, visit the archives.

This year’s event should be pretty fun.  We have decided to start things off with the play-in game between the Ghost of Oral Roberts vs. The Ghost of EK Gaylord on Tuesday.  As of tonight, the Ghost of EK is a 30 vote favorite.

Also, if anyone knows how to possibly make an online application where people can submit tournament predictions, send us an email.  We’d like to have a bracket contest, but don’t want to scroll though thousands of completed brackets.

Another also…special thanks goes out to the people at 29e.com for designing this year’s official Ogle Madness III logo.  Visit their website for a special surprise or something.

Saturday Morning 1990’s Music Video (78)

Published by

This song was requested last night via Twitter by this guy.  He’s the official Cavs blogger for ESPN.  Why is a Cavs blogger following The Lost Ogle on Twitter?  Because the internet is weird!  Who knows, maybe next week our old blogging pal Ron Hitley Niall Doherty over at Hornets247 will request a song.  It will probably be Lil Troy or something.

Anyway, this is one of my favorite songs from the 1990s.  I remember driving around in my dad’s maroon Dodge Shadow with this song playing as loudly as possible from the car’s tiny little blown speakers.  Maybe that explains why I don’t hear very well.

Also, you have to like how the lesbian bass player is wearing an old school Ft. Worth Fire jersey.  That makes the old Blazers program seller in me smile.

What are you doing Sunday at 7:00 pm?  Going to church?  Wrong answer.

Well, technically, I guess you can still go to church, but bring a radio and some headphones.  That’s because you DO NOT want to miss the first ever OGLE MADNESS SELECTION SHOW.

That’s right, 105.3 TheSpy-FM has given Patrick and Chad the keys to the studio and will allow them to pimp our third annual competition of local celebrities.  Tune in to hear Patrick tell some jokes while Chad reacts hysterically.  You may also get some pointers to help you win your office pool…but I don’t want to give away everything.

Remember:  Sunday.  7:00 PM.  105.3 TheSpy-FM.  And follow the sermon closely enough that you know when to say amen.  We don’t want to get you in trouble.

FNITBT – “Farewell, Chad” Edition!!

Published by
Chad
 on February 26, 2010

Yeah, the rumors are true: this will be my very last Friday Night in the Big Town for The Lost Ogle. Probably. But don’t worry, kids. I’ll still be here. I’m passing FNITBT down to a very capable and very real female who will no doubt bring its readership back into the double-digits. I’ll probably be taking my schtick to Wednesdays with some brilliantly named new weekly post. So far the #1 choice is “Wacky Wednesdays with Chad” but that’s Patrick’s list and not mine.

So I guess I’ll catch you next week, reader. Aside from a Wednesday post, I’ll still do the random post about a crazy thing I saw, but I won’t be your Friday fix anymore. Now, since it’s my last time, here’s a total cop out of a post featuring an event that takes place next week and promises to thrill and stuff.

Well, I guess it’s time for me to ride my stud out of town and into the flaming sunset. That came out gayer than I wanted, not that there’s anything wrong with that. Check back for me on Wednesdays if you miss me. You probably won’t. Sigh.  Go one last time. But after the jump..

Page 3: Why Your City Sucks: Weatherford

Published by

(Oklahoma is a wonderful, incredible state filled with charming small towns and awesome big cities. I love this state in every way possible. But even still, there are some features of specific places that are the opposite of awesome. Hopefully, this is where we can detail some of those issues.)

I spent nine months in Weatherford five years ago. For some reason, I thought it would be good to spend my freshman year of college there. My best friend was going there, I didn’t really have any friends going to OU and at the time, nothing was more terrifying to me than having to live in a room with a stranger for nine months. So I chose to go to a dirty place instead of the nice shiny one. I’m not saying I regretted it, because I had a decent enough time in Weatherford, but well, if you’ve ever been to Weatherford, you know it just doesn’t exactly sit well.

Five things I took from Weatherford in my short time there: Continue reading ‘Page 3: Why Your City Sucks: Weatherford’

Meet the 2010 “Single in the City” Participants

Published by

 on February 25, 2010

This weekend, Oklahoma Magazine is hosting their 2010 Single in the City Party and Charity Auctions in OKC and Tulsa.  Here are all the amazing details.

Oklahoma Magazine presents the 2010 Single in the City Party and Charity Auction to benefit Make-A-Wish Foundation. The event will be held Saturday, Feb. 27, beginning at 6 p.m. at Skky Bar Ultra Lounge, 7 S. Mickey Mantle Dr.

The evening will be filled with music, a fashion show by several of OKC’s hottest boutiques, drinks and hors d’oeuvres and a live singles auction featuring 12 of the area’s most eligible bachelors and bachelorettes.

Proceeds from the event will be presented to Make-A-Wish Foundation, which grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.  Presenting sponsors include Oklahoma Magazine, Skky Bar Ultra and 98.9 KISS FM.

Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door and are available for purchase at Make-A-Wish Foundation of Oklahoma offices in OKC, 5201 N. Shartel, 405.286.4000, and at Skky Bar Ultra, 7 S. Mickey Mantle Dr.

Oklahoma Magazine will also present a companion event featuring 12 singles from the Tulsa area. The event will be held Friday, March 26 at 6 p.m. at Jewel, 3340 S. Peoria Ave. in Tulsa.

First of all, for $20 there better be some hot drunk single chicks in attendance.  If not, you should at least get a partial refund or gift bag.  Also, I’m kind of worried that KISS FM is a sponsor.  That means if there are hot drunk chicks around, Jack and Ron will probably creep them out and chase them away.

Also, I guess I should probably mention that I do write an award winning, “light-hearted” monthly column for Oklahoma Magazine.   The column is usually near the back page and is called “last word” or something like that.  And yes, they actually pay me to write the thing.  Hell, they even edit some of my typos for me.  It’s a pretty sweet gig.

That sweet gig, though, will not stop me from writing about this event.  There’s just too much material!  Check out my thoughts on some of this year’s participants — and what I think their auction value should be — after the jump.

KFOR is FAILilicious…

Published by
Patrick
 on February 24, 2010

Last September, KFOR came up with a crazy idea called Blogilicious. Essentially, it was a blogging community where KFOR personalities and viewers could interact.  Here’s what I wrote when they first released it:

Want to learn about Bob Barry Jr.’s fascination with peanut butter, check out blogilicious.  Want to know about aliens abducting Kevin Ogle’s wife, check out Blogalicious.  Want to learn about Linda Cavanaugh’s favorite cuss words, don’t check out blogilicious…

Anyway, I’m not too sure about Blogilicious.  It’s just weird.  So far, the only valuable thing I’ve learned from the site is that Joleen Chaney enjoys taking candid photos of Bobbie Miller.  That makes me think that the people at Channel 4 are just now f*cking with us.  Seriously, next week they’ll probably have Bobbie and Joleen sample new bubble bath fragrances inside an abandoned Italian villa, but then cut to a commercial right after they light some candles and get in the tub and decide to play a casual game of truth or dare.

Well, I guess I was right.  It looks like Channel 4 really was just f*cking with us!

I say that because it’s the nicest way to explain why this odd web experiment has failed.  When Blogilicious was first launched, you would have thought that KFOR had just invented ice cream.  Everything was blogilicious blogilicious blogilicious.  They heavily promoted it, the anchors were using it, and then, well, nothing.

Now if you now visit the site, you’ll discover it’s a ghost town. Chellie Mills did write a post a few weeks ago, but other than that, it’s a dated collection of Carson Cunningham Week 2 college football power rankings and KFOR viewers letting us know that the town of Snyder was without water.  I think Abandoned OK has Blogilicious on its list of places to visit.

Anyway, it’s a shame that KFOR had to go through all this trouble just to mess with us.  Maybe next time they’ll try a simpler approach.  You know, like pretend that Joleen Chaney and Bobbie Miller want to interview us or something while wearing pink bikinis.  That would be cool.

The Oklahoman Practices Constructive Criticism

Published by

 on February 23, 2010

A few weeks ago, a Lost Ogle reader let us know about a recent  experience he had with the Oklahoman editorial staff.  It started after he got up the nerve to email of those “letter to the editor” things.  Here is the letter:

The responses to James Mitchell’s comments (Your Views, Jan. 20) overlooked a significant fact about Sarah Palin: She took an oath of office and committed to serve as the Governor of Alaska. However, when she realized that it would be more fun to write a book, travel the country, and go on TV; she quit. She defied her commitment and responsibility in favor of becoming a celebrity. Why would any thinking American want a president or vice-president who might quit when she sees something else that would be more fun? We need someone who has the integrity, maturity, and intelligence to honor commitments.

– Jim Watson

If you ask me, that’s a decent letter to the editor.  It’s kind of biased, brings up a few points, and overall, is relatively harmless.  That is, of course, unless you are J.E. McReynolds (the chief editorial writer of the Oklahoman).  Check out J.E.’s unsolicited response to the letter after the jump.
