    Number of comments: 7
    If you’ve been listening to Oklahoma City sports talk radio, you probably missed a lot of the controversy that erupted in Lawrence, Kansas, concerning Jayhawks’ head coach Mark “Our Coach Can Eat Your Coach” Mangino.

  • Saturday Morning 1990’s Music Video (64)

    I know we broke the story here last week, but I am still ridiculously stoked about 105.3 The Spy returning to the Oklahoma City airwaves on Monday.  Seriously, other than the NBA coming to town and those seductive semi-nude pictures that Jessica Schambach probably considered emailing to us, this is [...]

    I had to stop and think hard about something this week. Something I’d never considered. Something I really didn’t think I ever would. Why in the f-u-n-k do I listen to sports talk radio? I had no answer for myself. What made this especially awkward was that I asked it out loud [...]
