I had a chance to go on WIBW-AM 580 in Topeka earlier this week to talk about Saturday’s showdown between Oklahoma and Kansas State. It’s always interesting to me to hear what questions media from other places have for us here. In talking with Jake Lebahn and Mark Elliott, the question...

I’m working on a column for tomorrow’s edition of The Oklahoman about Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein and the dilemma that he will pose to Oklahoma on Saturday. If you think he’s just a running quarterback, be sure to check it out. But until you get your paper in the morning or...

I received lots of interesting feedback on my Sunday column about Oklahoma not playing like one of the country’s elite teams. When I wrote it, I figured it would generate conversation. You can hardly write anything about the Sooners without creating debate, but say they aren’t playing well?...

Every Sunday, we do a feature called Collected Wisdom. We talk to sports personalities who we believe have some wisdom to share, then we share it with you. Because our state is so rich in interesting athletes, coaches and the like, we are never at a shortage for possible subjects. You could...

A year ago this month, I had the honor of writing about Matt Allen. Perhaps you remember his story. The Edmond resident started battling brain cancer three years ago, and yet despite numerous surgeries and treatments and triumphs and setbacks, he continued to live his life to the fullest. That...

  Check this out, Thunder fans. Reding Farm in Chickasha has taken the fall-corn-field-maze to a new level. They’ve done a Thunder themed maze this year complete with the team’s logo and mascot, Rumble. (I have to admit, I had to look at Rumble for a minute to figure out who it was....

Kyle Thompson has been living in a cave for more than five months. The MLB Fan Cave, that is. Last winter, I first wrote about the Edmond resident and his quest to be one of the fans invited to inhabit Major League Baseball’s immersive fan experience. The Fan Cave is a modified space in...

You might recognize the name Kent Meyers. He’s a longtime Oklahoma resident, an attorney at Crowe & Dunlevy and one of the hosts the local TV show “The Verdict”. But 60 years ago, he was a batboy for the Oklahoma City Indians. This factoid came up because former Indian...

If you pay attention to our high school sports coverage at all, the name Elyse Hight is a familiar one. (And if you don’t pay attention to it, what’s wrong with you? Yeesh … ) Hight’s name is familiar because we’ve written all sorts of stories about her in the past few years....

I’ve added a job to the list of gigs that I never want to have. College football scheduler. I had that realization last week when I talked with Dave Martin about why Oklahoma State scheduled Savannah State. He is the athletic department employee charged with setting up the Cowboys’...

I had a chance to chat with Savannah State football coach Steve Davenport last week. We talked about the Tigers’ game this week at Oklahoma State, and if you saw some of his comments in Monday’s paper, you know that the coach didn’t pull any punches. He was honest. Brutally honest....

There are plenty of Oklahoma football players on Twitter. But they aren’t the only ones related to the program using the social networking site. OU’s compliance office has a Twitter account (@OUCompliance), and even though what the folks there do is serious business, they have some fun...

The Augusta National Golf Club has invited two women to be members. Finally. The home of The Masters has long been derided for hosting one of golf’s most prestigious tournaments but for shutting women out of its membership. That changed Monday when the club extended membership to former...

Kelli Dupuy sent out the all-call at 9:54 a.m. The director of marketing and development for Sunbeam Family Services needed volunteers to help place shirts on the chairs at The Peake before Game 1 and 2 of the NBA Finals. The Thunder and her group work together on all sorts of different...

I went on the Morning Sports Page radio show on 750 The Game in Portland, Ore., this morning. Chad Doing, the host, has Oklahoma connections, so it’s always good talking with him. He did put me on the spot today with one of his questions — who wins Game 5 and why? I picked the Thunder,...

Our fair city got some big-time love from Charles Barkley and TNT during Saturday night’s pregame show. I know a lot of you were headed to Game 4, and some of you might’ve just missed it. Whatever the case, if you haven’t seen the video from the tour that Chuck took Friday afternoon, I...
