A Year in Review
When it comes to weird, the Flaming Lips are the standard bearer. The weirdness of 2008 was preceded by a Flaming Lips concert and now it will end with one. Once again, Wayne Coyne and his merry band will unleash their dancing Santas, giant plastic orbs, fake blood and ethereal pop music on downtown Oklahoma City New Year’s Eve.
Holiday Bowl
Oklahoma State coach Pat Jones remembers a news conference held a few days before the 1988 Holiday Bowl in San Diego. Teams were instructed to bring three players for interviews. Jones brought Heisman Trophy winner Barry Sanders, first-team All-American wide receiver Hart Lee Dykes and quarterback Mike Gundy, who would go on to become the all-time passer in Big Eight history.
HOTT SHOT: Laura Kriegel
Laura Kriegel, Director of Marketing & Communications for the Oklahoma City Convention & Visitors Bureau, is this month's HOTT SHOT. Laura works to promote Oklahoma City as a great tourist destination and convention center. Tourists are important to the state’s economy, Laura said, and help boost our local businesses.
