I'm Proud to be an Okie...




HOW 'BOUT THEM SOONERS? Takin' it to the Golden Hurricane with a mustache-wearin', redshirt-havin', back-up dude that's named after a Dallas Cowboy coaching legend. How's that for variety? And...the guy set a record with 6 count 'em 6 touchdown passes. Un-be-liev-able.

"We don't smoke marijuana in Muskogee..."
"We don't take our trips on LSD..."

And in other football news...my MCHS Bombers lost to the Southmoore Sabrecats. Who saw that comin'? Bombers are 1-2 now...ouch.

"We still wave Old Glory down at the courthouse..."
"And white lightnin's still the biggest thrill of all..."

I flew to Weatherford with Mason Dunn and SKYNEWS9 HD this past Friday to watch the Eagles take on the Chickasha Fightin' Chicks...yeah, the Fightin' Chicks...not the greatest mascot. You can watch the FRIDAY NIGHT FLIGHTS WEEK 3 HERE.

"I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee..."
"A place where even squares can have a ball..."

Mason and I were in Weatherford a little early, and went to a place called the Barbque Shed. Good food, and while we were eating, you could vaguely hear Merle Haggard beltin' out "I'm proud to be an Okie from Muskogee..." over the radio. Man, what more could you ask for, BBQ, high school football, Merle Haggard, and a helicopter ride back home. I must be livin' right.

If you'd like to hear Merle, or God forbid, if you've never heard the song, click HERE.

And belt it out along with him, like the true Okie you are (or secretly wish that you could be).
