Ha! How about Thunder Rolls...the Garth Brooks song ....lets keep it all in-state. Before the games they can shower the fans...then the mascot can shoot lightening bolts out of his eyes and thunder bolts out of his ars!

For the ignorant who don't realize the "chaw" is offensive to our state team.

CHAW- (from the dictionary, if you tools only new what that is)
Chaw has a wide range of senses in regional expressions. One Northern and Western meaning of the verb is "to bawl someone out": He chawed her good. A Southern sense is "to get the best of someone in a bantering contest" or simply "to embarrass": "That compliment sort of chawed me" (Publication of the American Dialect Society). The noun chaw can mean "a twist of chewing tobacco" or "an attachment or hold (on someone)"; for example, a flirtatious woman in Tennessee is "tryin' to git a chaw on a feller" (Dialect Notes).

They all sure got in a tizzy over your blog. I hate to think if they were trying to debate nuclear power.

Are these blogs not moderated at all? They're quickly becoming a joke.

Chris:

JDG could not possibly lower the intelligence or class of this blog.

You, Gene, Eric, and OSUNDN, being the dim witted World Picker minions and homers you are have maintained the low level of class, intelligence and genuine debate of this blog to the World Picker's level.

You all remind me of Forrest Gump with a bad attitude.

Judging from your most recent posts, all of you would need to add about 50 points to your respective IQs to reach the level of ignorance you believe others to possess.

Of course, as it is now, you are on an even plane with World Picker.

At least it explains your love affair with him.

None of you have ever made an intelligent, cogent, grown-up post. You don't even understand half of WP's lame drivel. He laughs at you because he uses you to spew his hate; and you don't even see it.

Your usual response to anyone who disagrees with your dopey idol is an eighth grade "na, na , na."

Good grief, grow up.

WP is a lost cause. There may be time for some of you to grow up.

If you really are men, and really think Chaw is a better name than Thunder, then get your t-shirts ordered, and wear them to a game in OKC sometime. And announce it so everyone knows you will be there.
NB: WP will not be there to back you up.

At least try to act like men.

Otherwise you will just keep sounding like an eighth grade sissy working at WP's Kool Ade stand.

Getting back to the point:

A sorry name for what will be a sorry team.

I can see the empty seats half way through the season now.

If your comments are not within our terms and conditions, they will be deleted. Thank you for those who let us know about the situation.

TAB, you must explain why everybody is so wild about TU this season -- Pat Jones said on the record that TU is a top 20 team and that it will be this year's Boise.

True, Pat couldn't pick the winners of some replays, but TU has no quarterback and not defense to speak of. To think that it can waltz into Arkansas and not have to hustle to keep it close is rather mind-boggling.

I have UAB circled as an upset possibility versus TU.

I'm kind of over Jamba Juice.

I used to have to travel all over the country and it was a big deal to me before it came to Tulsa a few years back. I once had to stay up all night after a really long weekend of work and the only solace I could find, before boarding the plane, was a massive Jamba Juice -- made everything better.

I've been on a bit of a health kick, though, so it's kind of hard to justify (would rather my bad calories go to ribs, catfish, bean burgers, and beer).

Orange dream machine is my favorite, followed closely by the cold buster when I have a cold (it sort of helps).

I like McNellie's, but their burgers are way overrated. It's not even a top 10 burger in Tulsa, though it's not bad. You go for the beer, not the food.

I still like "The Dust", "The Red Clay", "The Toothless Wonders", "The Rednecks" or "The Republicans" (oops, a little redundant on the last two).
