Moments after the NBA OKC issued press release this morning detailing the team’s 2008-09 schedule, some very savvy surfers at TheLostOgle managed to visit and save a screenshot of what appears to be the Oklahoma City Thunder’s schedule.
However, for those who were a day late and a dollar short to nba.com/schedules/?team=thunder did not see what our friends there did:
Subsequent visitors to that URL did not see the Thunder but instead saw a series of different screens including SuperSonics, blank pages, some error pages and finally a page that is nonsensical.
Apparently it is officially unofficial that the team will be the Oklahoma City Thunder. Let the jokes begin.
(Thanks Patrick!)

Oklahoma women’s basketball coach suspended gard Jenna Plumley indefinitely from the team July 17. Coale’s statement to the media was that Plumley's citation that week for allegedly pocketing cosmetics was one event in a chain of happenings that displeased the coach.
“There had been ongoing concerns with Jenna that culminated in a meeting within the last two weeks,” Coale said in the statement. “During that meeting a plan was outlined for what our program expected from her. She has not met those expectations. I am concerned for Jenna and want proceed in a way that is in the best interest of her education and our team. This is an unfortunate situation, but I am hopeful that it will produce the best results in the long run.”
Aug. 1, Oklahoma football coach announced receiver Josh Jarboe was being dismissed from the team.
As a high-school senior, the Georgia native faced weapons charges for allegedly carrying a gun on school property. Late in July, a YouTube video spread virally across the Internet in which Jarboe was rapping lyrics to a song about shooting people.
“We are disappointed in this outcome, but our complete review and this final decision is in the best interest of our program” Stoops said in a statement. “We outlined for Josh the expectations we had for him when he arrived and, unfortunately, those expectations have not been met.”
So what is the connection between the two events?
Apparently, our friends at TheLostOgle found one.

Episode three started with a bang, literally, bathroom stall sex for Grace gone bad.
Showtime has nothing on Holly Hunter's sex scenes. Smoking hot. -Gazette staff

Episode two of Turner Network Television's Saving Grace started out with some nakedness and some condiments. Guess the writers wanted to set up the instense Murrah building plot with something racy at the outset.
Think the writers went two episodes without any Johnnie's burger mentions and/or placements?

Turner Network Television's set-in-Oklahoma City series returns to the airwaves tonight after finishing up season one in December.
Let's see, the big reveal was Grace and the priest in the finale. Will the story pick up from there? What will happen to Earl now?
And on a lighter note, since the cast and crew visited Oklahoma last fall, will new OKC culture references make the scripts?
OKG will be tuning in to watch season two.

According to Mayor Mick’s weight-loss Web site, Oklahoma City dieters have lost 100,000 pounds. And how does this affect you directly, you ask?
Leave it to OKG to tell you.
July 29, area Taco Bell restaurants will reward Oklahoma City with a Free Fresco Taco Day.
Free Taco Bell for all?
OKG says, “Keep dieting!”

With the announcement imminent for the NBA team locating in Oklahoma City's name, colors and logo, OKG staffers are getting antsy to know for whom we will be cheering.
Some of our suggestions may not fly with the league office in New York City, but some of our favorites have been the 3.2ers, Stealers, Chesapeakers and CanalBoat Gamblers.

Have you considered the double entendre of the word rack?
Apparently, area television stations did and chose not to air our commercial.

Former Lieutenant Governor and Oklahoma Sooner quarterback Jack Mildren passed away May 22 after a battle with cancer. He was 58.
Mildren served Oklahoma as lieutenant governor from 1990 to 1994 and then unsuccessfully ran against Frank Keating in the governor’s race.
Democrat Leader Danny Morgan said his thoughts were with Mildren’s family.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Lieutenant Governor Jack Mildren’s family tonight,” Morgan, D- Prague, said in a statement. “Oklahoma has lost one its greatest ambassadors tonight. We will always remember his sports heroics, his accomplishments as a public servant and his dedication to his wife and children. Tonight we mourn the loss of a great Oklahoman.”
Born and raised in West Texas, Mildren played quarterback for Oklahoma from 1969 to 1971. He was the first Sooner quarterback to play in the “Wishbone” offense. —Stefanie Brickman
