“My husband would be down here.” 🥹
“How Do You Like Me Now?!” played as Oklahoma baseball celebrated its national championship.
Tricia Keith, the wife of the late Toby Keith, was in Omaha for it.
PRESIDENT TRUMP had endorsed Lahmeyer, who yesterday earned a spot in a primary runoff with Mark Tedford, before dropping out today. Trump is now endorsing Tedford who will face democrat John Croisant in November’s general election.
On June 13, 1777, a 19-year-old French teenager landed on a beach in South Carolina, uninvited, to fight in someone else's war. He would become one of the most important men in American history.
The Marquis de Lafayette was one of the richest young aristocrats in France. He had a beautiful wife, a fortune, and zero reason to risk any of it. But he believed in the American cause so fiercely that when the French king forbade him from going, Lafayette bought his own ship and sailed anyway. He literally went AWOL from a life of luxury to bleed for a country that didn't exist yet.
Congress was annoyed at first. Another foreign officer looking for a paycheck? Then Lafayette offered to serve for free and pay his own way. That got their attention.
He met Washington and the two formed one of the great father-son bonds in American history. Washington had no biological children. Lafayette named his only son George Washington Lafayette.
He took a bullet in the leg at Brandywine and kept rallying the retreat. He was instrumental at Yorktown, the battle that won the war. He went home a hero on two continents.
A foreign teenager believed in America before America did. 249 years ago today.
@SamHumphreys34 How many times are teams going to allow the Spurs to intentionally knock their superstar to the ground without retaliating against Wemby? It’s the only way to get them to stop. The refs sure aren’t going to intervene.
Your post is 100% false. This is absolutely not an increase in the arena budget by even one cent. This is simply asking CAA Icon to purchase some equipment inside the arena that was already budgeted for. They just weren’t the specific entity making the purchase until this passes tomorrow.
Dear OKC,
We were blessed with the opportunity by @HEB to go to your city for game 7 and… wow.
Transparently, with all the responses we’ve gotten from OKC fans on here, we thought a lot of hate was waiting for us at Paycom but we couldn’t have been more wrong.
99% of your fans were so kind and welcoming, even congratulating each and every one of us after the win. The pregame chant battles were nothing but respectful and filled with friendly banter.
There is a common sentiment that you have some of the loudest fans in the NBA and that might just be true. Every single one of you on your feet the entire game, every single OKC fan in the shirt, and your use of the clappers is impeccable. An hour before tip and the arena was already full. We’re still biased towards San Antonio, but if we’re looking for a second place in crowd environment, you guys are up there.
We know that this will not be the last time we see OKC in a playoff run, I imagine it’ll be a fairly consistent thing, but after 12 games this season, your real fanbase definitely has our respect and we can’t help but tip our hat.
Thank you for being an amazing host to us, we hope all of your players get healthy, and can’t wait for the NBA’s newest big rivalry to continue.
