Justice League of Oklahoma (Episode 2.7)

Published by

PREVIOUSLY:  The Justice League worked feverishly in an attempt to stop a plot to kidnap Sooner quarterback Sam Bradford.  Meanwhile, Amy McRee got wind of the plot and investigated as a journalist before she, herself, wound up missing.  Wayne Coyne tried to decode the kidnappers warning note and had a breakthrough, though, it appears it may be too late.

————————

Location: Gallagher-Iba Arena

Gary England listens carefully on his Gentner, but quickly loses his composure. “What do you mean, ‘He’s gone’?…Where’s Jason White?…What do you mean you ‘can’t get a hold of him’?…Wayne, this is unacceptable, un-ac-ceptable!” Gary snaps the phone shut. The other Justice League members in the arena see the anger in Gary’s eye and hesitate to inquire about the situation. Coach Doug Sauter motions to “Smokin’” Joe Burton to approach the England, but Burton refuses. Finally, Val Castor, as Gary’s right hand man decides to bites the bullet. Before he can get a word out, though, Gary takes command again: “Val, fire up the Storm Chasermobile. We’ve got to get back. Doug, Joe, hop in the back.” Continue reading ‘Justice League of Oklahoma (Episode 2.7)’

Justice League of Oklahoma (Episode 2.1)

Published by
Clark Matthews
 on November 29, 2007

LOCATION: Owen Field at Gaylord Family Memorial Stadium

The Sooners have just put the finishing touches on a 49-17 shellacking of Oklahoma State, a win that clinched the Big XII South Championship. The scene is one of great celebration. Sooner players perform choreographed handshakes and scream “Boomer” with their forefinger raised high. Former players, like Jason White, Jamelle Hollieway, and Brian Bosworth congratulate the triumphant team. Meanwhile the coaches huddle to discuss the game, loudly saying things like, “They were better when this was their bowl game”, or “Miles was a jerk, but at least they came to play back then” followed by derisive laughter.

In the background, a large man dressed in orange watches the proceedings with a sour look on his face. Continue reading ‘Justice League of Oklahoma (Episode 2.1)’

What Are We Thankful For?

Published by
Clark Matthews
 on November 21, 2007

 

For those who have not heard, tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day.  One tradition at the Matthews household is that everyone at the dinner table must give a reason to be thankful before getting an turkey.  So, I thought I’d bring that tradition to TheLostOgle.  I’ll start:

Clark Matthews:  I am thankful , of course, for my loving wife and one year old son…but also, having Tom Coburn and Jim Inhofe to provide me with material for articles.

Patrick Nelson is thankful amendments have been made to the Constitution of Oklahoma.

Tony Hanadarko says he is thankful for “his pet turtle“, but what he really gives thanks for is that he gets to walk on the same Earth as David Beckham.

Now, wasn’t that nice.  As successful as this exercise was, I thought I’d extend it to some of Oklahoma’s more famous citizens.  After the jump you will find out how some of your favorite Oklahomans answered this question:

What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving? Continue reading ‘What Are We Thankful For?’

How To Fix The Sports Animal

Published by
Tony
 on October 11, 2007

With their ouster by the far superior Cleveland Indians, fans and media outlets across the country have being offering their opinions as to what the New York Yankees should do to fix the problems that they have. Naturally, the next question everyone is also wondering is how The Sports Animal should fix the problems they have. At least that’s the next question an Ogle has.

Here, for the folks in charge over at Citadel Broadcasting, is a nice, handy ten-step guide to upgrading the Sports Animal from a colossal failure all the way to a mediocre radio station.

#1: Trade Bob Barry Jr. and a Broadcaster To Be Named Later to KREF for Toby Rowland

This moves comes at a price, obviously. There is a good chance that the BTBNL might be a real talent (though, based on past history, probably not), and chances are WWLS will have to absorb some of BBJ’s salary, but it gets you the best sports radio host in town and comes with the added benefit of not having to have Bob Barry Jr. on your station.

“That’s How You Stymie a Horse”

Published by
Clark Matthews
 on October 4, 2007

The scriptures say, “judge not lest ye be judged.” In a post late last week, I chided The Oklahoman for sitting on the most intriguing story of the OSU/Sam Houston State game. Now, it looks like I might be guilty of a similar sin. In a story so perfect for TheLostOgle.com that it might as well have been scripted by Tony, Blazers’ hockey coach Doug Sauter literally stopped a stampede of horses with his teeth, and we haven’t made a single mention of it two weeks after the fact. That changes now.

It should not have been a huge surprise. I mean, look at his picture. With a mustache like that, Sauter has to be either a super villain or a superhero in disguise. Mild mannered minor league hockey coach was just too much of a stretch.

Here’s a brief synopsis of what happened:

  • Sauter, who trains clydesdales, was in attendance at a Draft Quarterhorse Show at the Centennial Expo Building during the State Fair.
  • A wagon being pulled by a team of horses overturned, injuring a 62 year old woman.
  • Chaos ensued, as the wagon driver attempted to control his horses.
  • The other horses at the show became antsy.
  • Sauter jumped to action by biting a Belgian horses ear, calming it and putting a kibosh on the stampede it was about to lead.

“That’s how you stymie a horse,” Sauter said afterwards. He probably uttered it in a “matter-of-fact” tone, but I prefer to think he said it more taunting way. More like, “THAT’S how you stymie a horse!” Followed by an insincere single, “Ha.” I also picture him standing tall with his fists pushed firmly into his hips, staring to his left while the wind blows his whiskers behind him like a cape. (I may need therapy.)

Of course, this leaves us some interesting questions to ponder:

  • Who was the arch-nemesis who almost started the stampede?
    • Does anyone know Dean Blevins’ whereabouts at the time?
  • Is Oklahoma City big enough for two superheroes?
    • Will he and Gary England begin an Oklahoman version of the Justice League?
  • Should Sauter be on hand for all Mike Gundy press conferences?
  • Does Mick Cornett have a red phone hidden beneath his desk that goes directly to Sauter’s horse ranch?
  • When will DougSauterFacts.com take over for Chuck Norris Facts?

Yesterday I came across this article about the best jobs in Africa, it got me wondering what the best jobs in the OKC area are. So I did a lot of research and a few scientific studies and came up with the seven best jobs in Oklahoma City. After the jump, I hope you enjoy TheLostOgle.com’s guide to the best jobs in the metro area.

The Lost Ogle Mailbag

Published by
Patrick
 on August 16, 2007

You may not have known it, but TheLostOgle.com has an email address.  Since we don’t have time to respond to the large volume of email we receive, we like to share some of the better ones in this feature that we call The Lost Ogle mailbag.

Do you have any plans for other drinking games?
John R., Edmond

Not currently. We have considered the KREF drinking game, but figured no one would read it. Clark had a good idea that involved playing strip poker with Jessica Schambach, but it ended up being just an idea, and not a drinking game, although it did involve alcohol.

I loved the wall-to-wall coverage you all provided of “Saving Grace.” What happened to it?
Ham D., Oklahoma City

It looks like the build up to ‘Saving Grace’ was a whole lot better than the actual show. I lost all interest when Grace and her partner had sex and hunted deer with handguns at the Martin Park Nature Center, and afterwards, tied a dead deer to the hood of their bronco.

What is on Audra’s shirt in that picture you posted of the Morning Animals? Does she leak? I have to know!
Dean B., Edmond

I’m not sure what that is, but thanks for pointing it out. This proves that you need to be really careful when you wear all white and work next to Mike Steely.

Which Ogle brother owns this blog?
Jim T., Norman

The lost one, obviously. Actually, the original idea for the site was GoOgle.com. As you can see, it was taken.

Did you just steal that from theinnerwebs.com?
Tony A., Oklahoma City

Maybe.

Who do you think is better looking? Curtis Fitzpatrick or Van Shea Ivan?
Bikerfox, Tulsa

I’m probably not the best person to ask.  Maybe we can get some feedback from one of our three many female readers or Bob Barry Jr.

Is Ross Dixon alive? Or does the Oklahoma News Report just recycle old footage of him for every newscast.
Gary E., Seiling

According to the OETA website, Ross was born in Muskogee in 1942. They didn’t mention a death or anything, so I assume he’s living. Also, kudos to you (and the 18 other people in this state) who watch the Oklahoma News Report.

Where can I get kid’s toys welded for free?
Clark M., The Village

I have no clue. Try a muffler shop.
