Mizzou Homecoming against OU was absolutely nuts. It was one of the most intense things I have ever photographed. The Tigers had a perfect record going into this game, ESPN GameDay televised from our quad on Saturday, and our team was absolutely jacked.
The game started and on the first play,…

Addicted2TheGame: Kevin Durant is tired of finishing second in everything. →

Kevin Durant finished second in MVP voting for the second time in three seasons, but he’s not satisfied with being strongly considered for the award. While he’s happy friend LeBron James won the award, Durant expressed dissatisfaction with being a runner-up once again.
From the Oklahoman:
“
But there is a different story in the DNA of Oklahoma politics. It’s a truly forgotten story in the relatively brief history of this state that people fled the past to create. When the former Indian Territory became Oklahoma in 1907, it had one of the most progressive constitutions in the union, influenced largely by a farmer-labor coalition. Yet small farmers and laborers—75 percent of the population of around two million by 1920—grew less secure and more economically burdened in the early years of statehood, while “New White elites” (bankers, lawyers, merchants and landlords) flourished. These increasingly downtrodden voters gave Socialist presidential candidate Eugene Debs 16 percent of the Oklahoma vote in 1912, compared with 6 percent nationally. And for a tumultuous moment a decade later, a semi-Socialist grassroots Oklahoma movement elected a governor. …
There are echoes of those farmers and laborers in today’s tea partiers and Wall Street occupiers, but also in Democrats and Republicans who long to recover their faith in politics. A faith in politics, and a determination to make politics work anew for common people, finds impassioned and often eloquent expression in the forgotten pages of the Reconstructionist. Its voices, and its lessons, deserve remembering.
