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)’

As everyone in Stillwater and 17 people in Norman know, college basketball season is upon us. That is why this post includes a picture of Jenna Plumley revealing her true feelings for me.
For both OU and OSU, there are many question marks this season. Will highly touted recruits Blake Griffin and James Anderson be able to lead their respective teams to the NCAA tournament? Will Sean Sutton make it through the season without collapsing? Will the Lloyd-Noble Center extend it’s record of most consecutive seasons being the most poorly lit arena in the country? And hey, what about Fraggle Rock? Remember that show?
Sorry, I lost my train of thought there. Where was I? Oh yes, unanswered questions.
For instance:
Will the clip of Jeff Capel hitting the game-tying shot against North Carolina be shown during more than 20 of OU’s broadcasts?
Will Marcus Dove continue to have the worst celebratory hand signal in college basketball?
Will my campaign to get OU fans to embrace the nickname “Big Baby Food” for Beau Gerber fail for a second season in a row?
Will this story become reality?
Will Chris Walker manage to average more than a turnover a game despite being a graduate assistant for the Sooners and not an actual player?
For my part, I’m going Yes, Yes, Yes, Please God Make It Happen, Yes. But I’m notoriously terrible at predicting things. Like the time I predicted the red dot would beat the yellow dot during the dot race. Also, Betamax. I picked Betamax over VHS. Man, I’m getting depressed over my predicting skills. Thank god it’s Friday.

Here’s a quick review of what we are doing. Last January, State Speaker Lance Cargill created some weird thing called the Oklahoma 100 Ideas Initiative. Here’s how it was described:
The 100 Ideas initiative will change the way business is done at the State Capitol. Instead of legislation originating from lobbyists, special interests and government employees, this initiative seeks ideas from the private sector and from citizens across the great state of Oklahoma. Once the initiative is complete, the top 100 ideas will be published in a book and presented to the Oklahoma State Legislature.
Since we are citizens from the “great state of Oklahoma,” we decide to contribute our own 100 ideas for the initiative. But since we’re pretty sure that Speaker Cargill and his friends won’t put any of them in his book, we figured it would be better to share them here over the next few weeks.
P.S.- Please note that unlike our Top 100 Oklahoma Embarrassments, our 100 contributions are not “ranked” in any way. And if you have any ideas that you would like to see on our list, send us an email. We may include it!

The other day, Clark, Tony and I were at The Lost Ogle headquarters debating what costumes we should wear for the Gazette’s “Ghouls Gone Wild” Halloween parade. Clark wanted to be a baseball player. Tony wanted us to dress up like Devo. I thought a costume based upon people or things related to Oklahoma seemed like a good idea.
Check out ten of these ideas after the jump:

70. Give Tyler Suiters his own nightly opinion piece called, “I don’t give a shit.”
Kelly’s got his two cents. Kevin has a rant. Tyler? We get the feeling he really doesn’t give a shit about anything. And we want to hear why!
