I have a question for the anti-Oklahoma folks:

[BamaDude]

Where did the appellation "Dirt Burglars" come from? I know most of the derogatory nicknames that people toss out about their rivals is a play on their current or former team name, but that one is still a mystery to me.

Dirt Burglar

That's what I've always thought. The Oklahoma Land Rush.
It made sense.

"appellation"? You gotta be shittin' me! Good gawd o' mighty man! You can't be using that kind of high fallutin' vocabulation with this bunch of cretins. (Well except for @Tin Man. His vocabulation is real good. I always have to use the dictionary when he posts.)
