Episode two of Turner Network Television's Saving Grace started out with some nakedness and some condiments. Guess the writers wanted to set up the instense Murrah building plot with something racy at the outset.
Think the writers went two episodes without any Johnnie's burger mentions and/or placements?

Have you considered the double entendre of the word rack?

Former Lieutenant Governor and Oklahoma Sooner quarterback Jack Mildren passed away May 22 after a battle with cancer. He was 58.
Mildren served Oklahoma as lieutenant governor from 1990 to 1994 and then unsuccessfully ran against Frank Keating in the governor’s race.
Democrat Leader Danny Morgan said his thoughts were with Mildren’s family.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Lieutenant Governor Jack Mildren’s family tonight,” Morgan, D- Prague, said in a statement. “Oklahoma has lost one its greatest ambassadors tonight. We will always remember his sports heroics, his accomplishments as a public servant and his dedication to his wife and children. Tonight we mourn the loss of a great Oklahoman.”
Born and raised in West Texas, Mildren played quarterback for Oklahoma from 1969 to 1971. He was the first Sooner quarterback to play in the “Wishbone” offense. —Stefanie Brickman

Don’t let George Lucas or anyone else tell you differently: Those movie serials from back in the day that inspired the creation of Indiana Jones are unmitigated, unrepentant, unreconstructed, undeniable junk … and I love ’em.
In fact, a lot of them are worse than junk. They’re crap. I even love some of those, although I’ve never been able to get past Chapter 6 of “Terry and the Pirates,” and it’s based on one of my favorite comic strips.
“Judex,” from France in 1917, presents a caped avenger who keeps his identity a secret. The “Flash Gordon” trilogy is a feast of laughable but strangely fascinating special effects. “The Phantom Empire” — and you can’t find a more Lucasy title than that — stars Okie Gene Autry as a singing cowboy who discovers on his Radio Ranch the hidden entrance to the lost civilization of Murania, ray guns, robots, evil queen and all.
If your eyes don’t bug out when you read titles like “Secret Agent X-9,” “Daredevils of the Red Circle,” “Mysterious Dr. Satan” or “The Purple Monster Strikes,” there must be nothing of the thrill-me-please little kid left in you.
The best one is “Zorro’s Black Whip,” which features the wonderfully hot Linda Stirling as a female Zorro, dressed in black, pistol in one hand and whip in the other. Or maybe I’m telling you more than you really want to know. —Doug Bentin

The two-year Sean Sutton era ended in Stillwater on April Fool’s Day 2008.
Although the team won 39 games and lost 29 during his tenure as head coach, the Cowboys did not advance to the NCAA men’s basketball championship either year.
Athletics director Mike Holder said he and Sutton “mutually agreed” the coach would resign, is that really the case?
Holder has said a national coaching search would commence to replace Sutton. On whom has Holder set his sights? Will he make the trip to the Alamo city this weekend to pursue candidates as the Final Four play for the championship title?
Where will Sutton land? Will he pursue another head-coaching position in the collegiate ranks or will he try and land an assistant’s post at another university?
