Jury: Please note that truth is a viable defense to the use of an offensive word in this context.

I have three favorite teams.. two losers, and one winner.. lol
the Rams, the Eagles, and the Packers. There is no accounting for why people pick their favorites.
I have always loved the Packers though.

Yes we have the OKC Thunder to answer someone else.
Four generations of my family are OU graduates ( my grandfather taught History there) so that's a given.
I went to every OU home game and the Texas- OU game from 1967 to 1975. When I moved to Tulsa, I just couldn't afford
it anymore.


Edit to add: I did say my hatred was unreasonable.

I just don't care much for Oklahoma, either.

Or Kansas.

Just because a sports writer called them that back when Hector was a pup doesn't make it so.

Now, if Jerry Jones were to make the team publicly owned, well then we could discuss it.
