So yesterday we were sitting in the Lost Ogle's luxurious headquarters discussing what the best nicknames are among Oklahoma high schools. Not knowing all of them, we asked one of our interns to do the research. Unfortunately, it turns out we don't actually have interns, and the guy we asked to do the research was in fact the pizza delivery guy. Oops! No wonder he had such a strange look on his face when bringing Patrick the coffee from the kitchen that he had requested.
So we had to do the research ourselves. It was hours of painstaking, grueling work, but we powered through. And we can tell you this: if we never see another school nicknamed "Bulldogs" or "Tiger," it will be too soon. There are actually 44 schools in the state named "Tigers" (45 if you count the Talihina Golden Tigers) and 36 schools in the state named "Bulldogs," (first of which alphabetically is Altus, last of which alphabetically is Yale).
