I would think that Tex-ass is more full of slack-jawed yokels. Hillbillies are in Arkansas.

And then, there's this -- specifically about the University of Oklahoma...
"OU is number one in the nation per capita among public universities in the number of National Merit Scholars enrolled. Seven hundred National Merit Scholars currently are enrolled at OU."
Our son's Freshman class at Oklahoma (he graduated last year) had almost 200 National Merit Scholars -- including him.

OU is a good school, never said anything about the University. Is it anywhere close to Texas........no.

Always nice to hear from an authority.

It doesn't take an authority to know that Texas is a better school than Oklahoma. If you want me to provide some stats and links, i'd be happy to.

Let's see, I guess I'll start at the begining...
OK is generally flat, you have to have hills to have hillbillies
red-necks is hypenated
tornadoes happen in most plains states.
meth use is down in OK, while up in Missouri
there are poor people everywhere, I'm sure Tex-ass has many, as I see more trailers down there than up here.
while there are plenty of Native Americans in OK, there isn't a significant Indian population and it seems racist for you to include either on your list.
Southern Baptists do have a significant presence in the state, as does Tex-ass, but in OK you at least see some diversity.
and yes, we did just repeal the law banning tattoo (two ts in the middle) parlors, we were the last state in the nation to have a law as such, I think it is wonderful that OK no longer impedes First Amendment rights to free speech.
Also, ya'll has an apostrophe.
Your Tex-ass education doesn't seem to have helped you much.
Delt Alum- I was one of many NMS in my grad. class from OU. We do seem to have them in droves.

Mac--
Don't hate on USC Trojans. Yeah they suck, but that's all we got out here... Less you consider blue man group at Boise St.
What DO you think about the BCS standings? My husband was thoroughly pissed off with the #3 spot. At least Florida shoulda been a contender...
And as for Judgement Day... Well... Too hard to pick.
THE Ohio State may win... But I would like the Wolverines not to bendover and take it... I am sick and twisted enough to want spleens ruptured...
Besides, the ESPN twits at College Game Day are in LUUUVVVVEEE with Notre Dame... And it doesn't include Lou Holtz... 
If anything, Notre Dame if it stays winning will go to the Fiesta, ceremoniously...
But they'd get that azzes whooped

I would actually love to play Notre Dame in the Fiesta.
I pretty much think the BCS standings are a complete joke. USC, in no way, deserves to be #3. Louisville beats West Virginia, but are 2 spots behind them in the standings, retarded. Wisconsin has played 1 ranked team all year....Michigan......and got beat...yet someone thinks they should be in the BCS Top 10....9th actually.
Those are just some of my thoughts.

1.) Redneck can be spelled with a hyphen or without one. Thanks. Get a dictionary.
2.) Hyphenate is spelled H-Y-P-H-E-N-A-T-E. Again, get a dictionary.
3.) Central Oklahoma is the most tornado-prone area in the world, not only in terms of number of tornadoes(which exceeds 10 per 10,000 square miles), but also in terms of intensity.[6] (From The NOAA The National Climatic Data Center)
4.) Please don't compare the economy or wealth of Oklahoma to Texas.....there is nothing to compare.
5.) As of 2000, the population of Oklahoma was 3,450,654. As of 2003, there were 395,219 American Indians....the second highest in the US behind California.....pretty significant number if you ask me, considering there are around 30,000,000 less people living in Oklahoma.
6.) How in the hell is it racist for me to talk about the Indian population of a State? Don't be an idiot.
7.) I find it funny that you would sit here and critique my grammar when your entire response was almost totally devoid of capitalization, sentence structure, and punctuation.
8.) UT trumps OU in every way, shape, and form. The education is just fine.

I know how to spell hyphenate, it was a typo. You should know as you seem to make plenty, in addition to actual egregious errors.
There is actually much to compare when looking at the wealth and social strata of OK and Tex-ass... They are more similar than you would ever imagine. Look at cenus data if you don't believe me.
They aren't called INDIANS you moron, Indians are from India, Native Americans are the indigenous people of North America. Also, it is racist for you to include them in a list of things that are "bad" about OK.
I was listing errors, and as such, did not feel it necessary to write in complete sentences. Lists often don't contain complete sentences.
tu does not trump OU in every way... Let's see, Mack Brown sucks; the law school at tu has a 75% bar pass rate, while OU has a 95%; How many National Championships do you have again? We've had 4 BCS appearances, to tu's 2. We lead the nation in National Merit scholars, while you lead the nation in goat ropers.

Just a note - indigenous people of North America call themselves Indians. To clarify they will sometimes say American Indians, but Indians nonetheless. In fact, the American Indian Hetiage Foundation's website is www.indians.org.
Native American is just a pc term someone came up with a while ago.
