Oklahoma?Â
Solid people, Oil and Ag led economy, but flat, flat flat and humid, humid, humid. Bible belt and the OK City bombing. Good football and rabid fans.
Your state has a reputation with many Californians as a flyover state because most folks have only seen it from an 8" X 10" airplane window but I've been to Tulsa a couple of times and enjoyed myself immensely and been impressed by the salt of the earth types I met. I'm glad to live on the West coast (thus the moniker) but if I was suddenly relocated to Tulsa I'd probably learn to love it after a rough first year .... and I'd probably pick up one of the local college teams to follow. (You guys might win out there since I could never follow the Sooners.)
But honestly I'd want tickets to the coast at least once a year just to hold on to my sanity and keep a wider perspective.Â
Say, maybe THAT'S why you guys always travel so well to your yearly Bowl Games! Looking forward to meeting some more of you in January. /Lefty
