......and let's not forget yalls latest addition, tatoo parlors.

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

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 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.

I'm a USC alum and even I'll agree we're not nearly the team we once were. We're good. But a lot of teams are good.

ARK has been getting better and better all season.

But USC beat ARK and if both end up with only 1 loss -- wouldn't it be nearly impossible if not impossible for ARK to jump USC?

[TSteven]

A few possible scenarios on who will take on the winner of the Michigan at Ohio State game in the BCS Championship.

Southern California: USC goes with end of season wins v. Cal, Notre Dame, and at UCLA. Earlier win over Arkansas propels into the championship game.

Arkansas: The Hogs go if they run the table and is undefeated in the SEC. USC must lose a game too.

Notre Dame: Irish go if they beat Army at home and win in the Coliseum v. USC.

Florida: Florida goes if they win out, USC knocks off Notre Dame *and* USC looses to either Cal or UCLA.

Rutgers: Same scenario as Florida but Arkansas would need to loose to either LSU or State and win the SEC Championship game over Florida.

Texas: Same scenario as Rutgers but would need RU to lose. It would also help Texas' ranking if Nebraska dominates Colorado.

Ohio State/Michigan looser: Long shot. Major upheaval by all the above teams needs to happen. Not impossible, but not likely.

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.

[shinerbock]

I'm not sure if Arkansas can get in. Its like we were in 2004, if you start too low, it takes too long to get up. That being said, I think they're playing the best football of any one loss team. Back before Auburn played the worst game in their history saturday, there was the debate over who deserved to be first, Ark or AU. I thought that Arkansas was probably a better team than we were, but I could justify them being behind us simply because AU had wins over UF and LSU. So for the same reasons I can buy into the argument that Arky will get the credit when they beat LSU and UF. If they do that, however, I think it would be ridiculous for them to be denied. At that point, the would have beaten Tenn, LSU, UF and Auburn (and despite Auburn/Tenn looking rather pedistrian, a win over a 10-2 or 9-3 team is still a quality win), and I think that would be the most accomplished one loss record. Now, I don't know if they can do it with the system we have, but I think they deserve it if they can get through. The Ark team that played USC is obviously a completely different team now. I think they're heads above the mediocre play of the other one loss teams, but, my question is whether Nutt is really good enough to get the team to 12-1.

Many of the tribes around here prefer the term Native American. They use it on their literature.

My friends and family that have tribal affiliations use the term Native American. OK even uses the term in their tourism literature.

Most Native Americans that I know take great offense to being called an "Indian," and the few Indians I know also don't like the term being used to refer to Native Americans.

Quoting one example among many -- this my school/state/conference is better than your school/state/conference is one of the lamest forms of penis measuring to ever exist.

Please tell me how Oklahoma and Texas are "very similar" on a wealth, economic, and social strata. I am shocked that you would even write this.

They actually do refer to themselves quite often as Indians, American Indians, etc. Native American is a PC, made up term.

I'm sorry, but if you think OU Law is anywhere close to UT....you are out of your mind.
The University of Texas Law School is ranked number 16 in the country (for all schools) by USNEWS and one of the "toughest to get into" by The Princeton Review. You are a moron if you are going to try to compare the two. The avg. LSAT scrore for a UT law student is 166 with a 3.63 undergrad GPA. It has an 18.7% acceptance rate and the avg. UT law grad makes $88,885 for their starting salary. First time pass rate for the bar is 90%...I don't know where you got 75%. I would know though, I have already applied here.

Oklahoma is ranked 80th by USNews. The avg LSAT is a 154 and the avg. undergrad GPA is a 3.5. The acceptance rate is close to 27% and the avg. starting salary for an OU law grad is $58,398. Oklahoma Law is about on par with Texas Tech.....not bad at all, but not spectacular.

As far as the freshman National Merit Scholars per school, actually Harvard leads the nation. The University of Kansas and the University of Florida release these statistics every year...so here they are:

2006:http://www.news.ku.edu/2006/march/7/merit.shtml
Harvard University tops the national list with 287 freshman National Merit scholars. The University of Texas-Austin follows with 262, the largest number among public universities. KU ranks 29th among all universities.

2005: http://www.napa.ufl.edu/2005news/meritschol05.htm
1. Harvard University -- 312
2. University of Florida -- 259
3. University of Texas -- 242
4. Yale University -- 224
5. Stanford University -- 217
6. University of Chicago -- 198
7. Washington University at St. Louis -- 197
8. Princeton University -- 192
9. University of Southern California -- 183
10. University of Oklahoma -- 170


Mack Brown sucks...alright:
-Coaches With Active Win Streak of atleast 16 consecutive win streaks: 1. Bobby Bowden 2. Mack Brown
-Coaches with atleast 14 straight Bowl appearances: 1. Bobby Bowden 2. Mack Brown
-Winningest Coaches last 10 years: 1. Mack Brown 103-22
-Best Record since 1990: 1.Bobby Bowden 2.Mack Brown
-By Winning Percentage since 1990: 1.Bobby Bowden 2.Phil Fulmer 3.Mack Brown
- And if you want to compare Stoops to Brown.....I am fairly certain Mack has more wins at Texas from the point when Stoops took over OU. (83-17 to 81-18) Bob Stoops is not nearly as good without his brother.....and everyone knows it.

[shinerbock]

TSteven...I don't really think Texas has much of a shot anymore.

Yeah, no one down here is saying anything anymore about a Title defense. We are all gearing up for the Fiesta Bowl......hopefully.
