Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt gave his state of the state address and took a shot at Lincoln Riley.
“Can you imagine leaving a place like Norman, Oklahoma for a place like Southern California?” Stitt said.
This is known as pandering to your base.

The great minds from Oklahoma continue to embarrass themselves. Most intelligent people would say “How could he have stayed so long in Norman, OK”. They are so butt hurt they will never get over it until we play them and shut them up. Even then they are so stupid they will continue to show what dumb okies they are. They are almost as bad as Wolf carrying on about Donte. Give it all a rest.

This is known as not letting it go. Get over it, Oklahoma. And, by the way, for nearly a century it has basically been a one-way street from OK to CA. Something about oceans, mountains, desert spas, vs. flat prairie lands interrupted by oil wells.

Since the Oklahoma governor has opened up a travelogue segment, there are a few places I have visited that I might live outside of Southern California– Bondi Beach in Sydney, or Moorea in Tahiti, or Waikiki, or Northwestern France on a surfing beach, or Acapulco, Mexico, or Vancouver, Canada, or North Island, New Zealand,
‘Maybes’ would include Kauai, Maui, Tokyo, Katmandu, Nepal, on the Nile in Cairo, Delhi, India (not in the summer) and Central Africa.
How about you, MG, which places have you visited that you loved?

If it is ever safe to travel again I will have to check out that place, Steveg. The people of Spain are different than the people of Mexico, much as the people of Africa are different from African-Americans.
It is eye-opening to observe how many different ways of living there are.

I don’t know…. the beach is half hour away from most areas, the snow is about an hour away from the same location. There are world class amusement parks, two basketball teams, two professional football teams and concert venues in every direction.
Last I heard Norman is not close to an ocean. I can’t think of anything I want to see in the state where the wind comes right behind the rain. I can’t guess what this funny man is getting at but without a doubt I’d take Southern California over Norman any day of the week.

To So Cal, I think comparing Spanish people with Mexican people, and African people with African-Americans is a bit different than your argument that these comparisons are compatible with comparing the Irish with the Japanese.
Of course I could be wrong.

Very Good stuff, Ed. Can you do a little essay on how the Irish got that small? People here like to learn. [I already know it has something to do with King Brian getting kicked outta heaven and landing in Ireland–that part’s explained in Darby O’ Gill].
[Isn’t it weird how all the people from Darby are dead now — and all the people from Sleeping Beauty are still around –and both movies came out the same damn year]?….

Norman is a great town. As stereotypical of a small college town way of life as you will find anywhere in the country. OU is a beautiful campus with a nice art museum. Walk to games and to Campus Corner. Honestly most people that live there with a decent economic situation would cringe at the thought of living in L.A. as it would take big $$ to replicate their quality of life. A place where one can build a comfortable middle class life.

Scooter,
My dad was stationed at Altus Oklahoma’s air force base when I was in first grade. Cotton fields and open land is all i saw in Oklahoma. You had Indian reservations and fishing but other than that, not much else to do. I am sure the Governor is just upset for now about Riley leaving. But once they win with the new coach, Riley will be out of his mind.
