So Lawton now is home to a professional sports championship. After dispatching teams from such larger cities as Atlanta and Albany, New York throughout the season and beating the similarly sized city of Yakima (though the team is named YakAMA in an evident homage to Barack ObAMA) the Oklahoma Cavalry (the team is now renamed Lawton-Ft. Sill, in an evident homage to Lawton-Ft. Sill) beat a team from a city a third the size of Lawton. Minot, North Dakota, pop. 37,000, is almost exactly the same size as Muskogee, Oklahoma. And while the rest of the world wasted it's time with March Madness, Lawtonians with high-speed internet could catch the Minot Webcast of the game complete with play-by-play from the young guy straight out of "Fargo" (Dontchano?)

Or you could listen to Chris Needham on Magic 95 (FAST BREAK, FAST BREAK, FAST BREAK) Or you could do what most Lawtonians will do, peer out tentatively at their stoop, see if anyone is looking, sneak out in their nightclothes long enough to grasp the paper, hustle back inside, and open up news of the Cavs triumph. Such is the way of small-time, big-league basketball. It still doesn't have the Americana of minor-league baseball, but it's a title. It's our title. And today, we are title town.

Re: Title town

As you can see from all the comments that never made it here, your subject of this Cavs Basketball Team is boring. No one seems to be overly excited about this. Now let's get on with some real dirt about Lawton. So get your paws clawing the earth for some real good gossip. Get with it, please.

Re: Title town

Thanks, Percy. Went to your link and really didn't see much dirt there. I find no place on that page to actually download their podcasts. I see the titles and a very quick couple oof sentences describing the podcast, but no link to it. Am I missing something there?

Hello, out there!  I'm Bonnie Barker.  You are all probably acquainted with my nephew, Sheridan, otherwise known as the "smartest prairie dog in town".  

Being somewhat envious of Sheridan's success, I decided that I should host a blog of my own.  I am interested in all the news that's fit to print and some that isn't. If you don't have anything nice to say, please come down to the prairie dog mounds and let's dish!
