Tulsa

Another weather bit for you KFDM.... Tulsa was 9F this morning setting a record low for the second straight day. Elsewhere in the Tulsa viewing area, Miami, OK dropped to -1F Yeah, below zero!!!!!!!!!

Our station has a tower cam on the talllest building in the back of the skyline, and here's another worthless fact: That tallest building, the Bank of Oklahoma (BOK) Tower, is the the tallest building in Oklahoma. It was built by the same designers who did the World Trade Center. It's similar in appearance, but only have the size at 53 stories tall.

One of our viewers who lives in a high rise sent in this picture to our TV station this morning: "ICE FOG!"

my worthless fact of the day: Small town scandel! My Grandfather was the principal and superintendent of Carlisle around 1930. He fell in love with my then 14 year old Grandmother who was at student there...They married before he went off to WW2.... Grandma still owns her old property in the Carlisle area...

LE 39 Gilmer 36 FINAL!

TD Gilmer LE 39 Gilmer 36 1 min left....onside kick anyone?

2 min left....

3 min left

LE 39 Gilmer 29 4 min left in the game...Gilmer down 2 possessions.

Liberty E 39 Gilmer 22 late in the 4th! :shock:

WOW.....LE 39-22 6 min left!

LE 32-22 over Gilmer; 9:00 in the 4th according to the 3adownlow.

If coaches agree, can a running clock be used during the playoffs?

I think DPG had 146 yards on 7 carries at the half...

Liberty has one FD in four possessions, while WOS's Garrett is averaging over 20 yards a tote... correction, 5 possessions for Liberty...

Wow, remember the UIL thru 1980? Only the district champ made the playoffs! :shock:

If anyone cares, Oklahoma's HS districts have 8 teams each, with the top 4 making the playoffs.

Thanks Coop...BTW it's thundering at my house right now, shouldn't you be doing a cut-in or something? Do you anticipate any schools adding turf?

Who is SE Texas plays on turf? Is Baytown still the closest are am I really that outdated?

Let me add that the SCHOOLS show their pride, but the town's are indifferent-- you don't see "GO TIGERS!" and such signage around town. Perhaps such as the 6A state champ in Oklahoma is almost always a big city suburb school as Coaches Perspective pointed out. Jenks is the only big school I've seen that compares to Texas football in terms of community support. Also, due to the smaller population of Oklahoma, the playoffs don't take long. There are only 32 schools in each class, half of which make the playoffs-- win 2 games and you're already in the semis! State champs by Thanksgiving!

For those of you who have lived out of Texas-- what is your experience following HS football in other states? My wife and I live in Oklahoma after growing up in Texas high schools: WOS for me, and my wife is from Abilene High in West Texas. Oklahoma HS football is comparable to Texas as far as school pride, game attendance and atmosphere . A few schools have facilties that embarass smaller colleges, but the playoffs here just don't cut it...they lack the excitement of Texas football. What's it like in other states?

I see Liberty scored 60+ the last game....What does Liberty do well to put up the points?

Q: Is Bevil a soccer style kicker?

Lonestar, I have to work Saturday (insert obscenity of choice) :evil: I had to sell my tickets for OU/aTm, so I'll be screaming at the TV from Tulsa. My mother is going to the game, and she said CS is packed tonight! Tulsa
