We started with a field of 68 people, places, and things that represent the purest elements of Oklahoma. Now, we're down to just four. Two of today's contestants will make it to the finals, the rest shall be mere footnotes to Ogle Madness history.
(1) Panhandling Teacher vs (5) Steven Adams
(3) Joe Exotic vs (6) Marla Morgan
In a pair of upsets that will go down as some of the most wild in this tournament's storied past, both Joe Exotic and Marla Morgan were able to overtake their much more qualified higher seeds. Call it luck, call it social media campaigns, whatever the reason – one of those two will be taking on another of Oklahoma's current darlings in the championship match on Monday.
