I hope everyone is enjoying Ryan Walters Resignation Week! Friendly reminder: you can score a full year of ad-free TLO – and support OKC Public Schools – for only $49.99!

As you may have heard, today is Ryan’s official last day in office before he comes back to Oklahoma and wins another statewide election. Naturally, he decided to celebrate the end of his tyrannical reign in the most MAGA way possible – attacking his enemies and boasting about his list of accomplishments.

This past weekend, I got in the car and made a two-hundred-mile road trip just for a cup of coffee.

Sure, that sounds weird, but my destination was the Harbor Mountain Coffee House in McAlester, Oklahoma, the small coffee outpost that Patrick always seems to reference whenever brewing a fresh pot of Ryan Walters content.

Probably because I have a weird sense of humor, and spent way too much time in front of the soda fountain following Pee Wee football games, I’ve always been a bit skeptical about the movement to asterisk the word “suicide” and provide a standard disclaimer whenever the word or topic is mentioned.

I know firsthand many people who have lost loved ones to suicide and understand it’s an awful and tragic thing, but I just think putting a disclaimer on the word is ineffective and, if anything, makes people think more about it.

Before the season started, OU announced it would begin selling fan access to the postgame news conferences as part of a Sooner Magic Memories promotion.

Primarily because it’s emblematic of the new era of college sports, and the minor-league depths universities are already willing to go to make extra money, the story made national headlines.

Ring the bells, kiss a Trump Bible, and gently massage your best friend’s thigh! Ryan Walters is resigning as Oklahoma State Schools Superintendent!

As is usually the case, I first started hearing rumors about his departure early in the afternoon. After a couple of phone calls and emails, we were the first local media outlet to report the news on X.

For a brief moment yesterday, right before OU announced John Mateer would miss a few games due to hand surgery, Oklahoma State stole the attention of the local sporting world after news came out that Mike Gundy was fired at age 58.

Like most people, I have mixed feelings about Mike’s departure.

Pour a little Avocado Ranch out for a homie.

Late last week, we received a tip via the Ogle Mole Network that the venerable backwards Salad N Go on N. May has closed.

I have said it time and again, the best diners – and in all honesty, restaurants - are located on our city's fine southern side.

Sure, those homegrown greasy spoons might be a little dodgy, a bit squalid, and, of course, you have to watch your back in the parking lot, but the Southside keeps low-cost food and high-quality tastes on a conveyor belt of solid bites that will always win out on my palate.

If you need proof, hit up Bella’s Kitchen Home Country Cooking, 2401 SW 59th St.

You may have to wait a little bit longer before you can attend a fully licensed and regulated Oklahoma cockfight.

Just a week or so after its leader was charged for being present at a cockfight, the Oklahoma Gamefowl Commission – the 15,000-member group that’s been fighting hard to preserve the traditional, God-given, rural Oklahoma pastime of cockfighting – was ordered to dissolve by the Oklahoma Ethics Commission.
