“And it ends with STATE TROOPER!”

[Jonathan Cooper @JCooperTV]

BREAKING: Oklahoma State star running back Ollie Gordon was arrested for DUI over the weekend south of OKC. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says Gordon was going 82 in a 65mph zone. An affidavit says troopers found an open bottle of tequila and an open bottle of vodka in his car.

@DylanBuckingham @HefnerGolfPro Oklahoman article when they bulldozed Perry Maxwell’s last course. Wish the money would go to getting some grass under the ball as originally intended..

@KylePorterCBS Rory typing “SGS15” into the promo code for AG1 is legitimately normal sport

This man's name is Rick Rescorla.

22 years ago today, Rick disobeyed orders, and saved 2700 lives.

Rick was the head of security for Morgan Stanley in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. He warned that the Towers' basements were vulnerable to attack.

His warnings fell on deaf ears.

Then the 1993 attack happened, and people started listening to him.

After that attack, Rick implemented regular evacuation drills, using his megaphone to direct the thousands of employees out of their offices, down the stairwells, and out of the building to safety.

Born in Cornwall, Rick would sing Welsh and Cornish songs from his megaphone, as he directed the employees out of the building.

He would routinely tell all of the employees: in an emergency, no matter what chaos is happening around you, no matter what anyone tells you, leave your offices, go down the stairwells, and leave the building.

Rick told his wife Susan that he suspected another attack on the World Trade Center would happen, this time by air.

And 22 years ago today, on September 11, 2001, that attack happened.

When the first plane hit the North Tower, the Port Authority announced over the South Tower's speaker system "Please do not leave the building. This area is secure."

Rick ignored them.

"The dumb sons of b------s told me not to evacuate," he said to his best friend Dan. "They said it's just Building One. I told them I'm getting my people the f--k out of here."

And so Rick picked up his megaphone as he had done so many times before, told his employees not to listen to the orders, and directed them out of the building.

His Cornish songs helped keep their nerves calm as they evacuated, even after the second plane hit their Tower.

Once he had successfully evacuated his employees, Rick went back to look for survivors.

But first, he called his wife Susan.

"Stop crying. I have to get these people out safely. If something should happen to me, I want you to know I've never been happier. You made my life."

Rick rushed back to the South Tower.

That was the last time anyone saw him alive.

All but 6 of the more than 2700 Morgan Stanley employees survived.

Had they obeyed the Port Authority, they would all be dead.

Thankfully, they listened to Rick instead.

Rest in Peace, Rick. Thank you for your service.

@joeluber24 @JW_BSGC Started to put my list together as well and it’s getting too long. But I’ll add #3, #8 & #10. Asked my buddy where a good miss would be into the green on #3 and got radio silence. #12 and #6 are strong as well.

The @dallasnews asked me to write about how we get things done in Oklahoma City. My piece in the Sunday edition - “The political middle is getting things done in OKC” - is linked and pictured below.

@Eddie_Rado Pretty cool that George McFly slipped away from Biff to drop some signage down.
