[PepePeru]

Wow, I'm torn between the Summer Olympics or an NBA Franchise.

Could Oklahoma support a second NBA franchise?  The Indiana Pacers could be looking at relocation:

Why not Tulsa?   If Oklahoma City can--Tulsa most certainly can!

NBA ready arena in  Seatte appears to be dead.

Stop posting this crap about OKC's NBA team here.

You're just trying to stir up chit. Here's your own post from the Oklahoma City message board:

Yet, people in Tulsa believe that we are stupid for passing and continuing to extend this one-cent sales tax which has generated a massive economic impact--calling it millionaires' welfare!

Sure they are jealous!

Oklahoma City is like the new magnificantly groomed hostess who has invested in a new wardrobe. Tulsa is like Scarlett O'Hare parading around in that ole dress from the estates' mansion drapes.

"magnificantly groomed hostess"

Priceless.

You would think that after all these years, Oklahoma City and Tulsa would have found peace with each other as they were growing up.

It's seems as though there is still quite a rivalry between these two sisters.

Are we still the same blood-thirsty rivals we have always been.

Tulsa is a charming, cosmopolitan and clean city!

Oklahoma City is a hospitable, high spirited and heralded city!

Tulsa has always had that reputation for being a beautiful young mistress; whereas, Oklahoma City use to tag along as her big overall wearing tomboy sister with bifocals and nappy hair. She made Tulsa look that much more beautiful!

Over the last ten years, things have changed...

Big sister, OKC has had a make-over and went out and invested in a new wardrobe. Tulsa is still wearing the same well kept clothes she's worn ten years ago and she's aged a bit, looking more like Joan Rivers dressed as Miss Scarlet!

She's (OKC) even dating someone who Tulsa wanted eight years ago, his name is MLS.

Now, Tulsa has put on her daisy dukes and she still can't get MLS's attention; that ole bee hive hair-do and false eyelashes just won't do!

You see, Tulsa use to always play hard to get!

Meanwhile, OKC makes no beans about strutting her stuff on the streets.

She's getting popular; yet, she doesn't have to drop a handkerchief or extend a leg to get attention. A simple smile and an occasional glance will do!

OKC has been a real active girl lately, working out and getting more solid and with some fine muscle tone.

Tulsa on the other hand has remained virtually the same, however she's been sitting around the buffet tables and eating up all the profits.

Tulsa will eventually make one more attempt to get MLS. While OKC isn't around, she is going to get out of those daisy dukes and attempt to get MLS to go skinny-dipping with her.

She has forgotten that those thighs developed just a little bit too much cellulite on the back of the buttocks, she looks as though she has been spanked with a waffle iron.

Yep...my analogy for what OKC is going through right now?

"You can bronze a turd, but it's still a turd" (bronze=pro sports franchise, turd=OKC).

That is just incredible.  Laramie, go home.

To be fair.... so has a certain Mr. USRufnex..... it will be my 10th anniversary of posting at bigsoccer under "USRufnex" coming up July 15th.... trying to choose the right place for a gift registry......

Pg. 6 contains the climax of some pretty intense vintage non-soccer Tulsa downtown development arguments circa 2002...

...ending in this quote from yours truly.... SSS = soccer specific stadium

If I win the lotto someday, I'm gonna buy a stiff drink for the entire city of Tulsa in hopes that it kills the bug up their a$$es... and I'll use the rest to build a SSS on the fairgrounds.

Hah! I knew you were a serial poster somewhere   

[Laramie]

As much as I would like to see my two favorite cities progress and move on it doesn't mean I can't be critical.

When I lived in Tulsa I saw a city which was beautiful and appealing; however, I'm not seeing the progressive nature (inner Tulsa) as I see in OKC.

Does it mean that Tulsa isn't beautiful?  No!

Does it mean I dislike Tulsa?  No!

...And Mr. Swake--are you trying to stir up chit?

U.S. Rufnex and myself would love nothing better than to see Tulsa and Oklahoma City progress and we are proud of what we see happening. We are more state oriented.  Is there room for improvement for both cities ?  Always!


Yes!
