Oklahoma finally joined the SEC on Monday after three years of waiting to enter the conference, and three years ago, when the announcement was made that Oklahoma would leave the Big 12, the Sooners had one of the best head coaches in college football in Lincoln Riley. Still, at the end of 2022, he decided to leave the program and head to USC, and now we might’ve found another reason why he didn’t want to be at Oklahoma anymore.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

NORMAN – SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey didn't hold back his thoughts on what Oklahoma brings to the Southeastern Conference. It's been a long awaited transition from the Big 12 to the SEC for the Sooners. Just three years ago it was announced Oklahoma and Texas would depart for a new conference that is seen as a tougher slate in nearly all sports, especially football. But amongst all of the drama and talking points of the football teams, the Sooners softball program earned a nod from Sankey.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime.

For decades, Angola has forced prisoners to work in fields in extreme heat. Today, they urged a federal judge to halt the practice. Prisoners filed an emergency motion about working in the summer heat, as part of a proposed class-action lawsuit to end the “Farm Line” — forced agricultural labor at the prison, for little or no pay.

WyoFile has acquired a photograph of a lynx in Wyoming, a landmark observation of a species currently considered absent from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022. There was no doubt in his mind what it was: a tom lynx, judging by its blocky head.
