I decided to set up an account with Fox News a few minutes ago and used Oklabama as my display name. Oh no... Can't have that handle because it's not available. Someone already has it. WTF. Who in the hell would use that handle except me? I'm in shock. Just venting. No replys expected.

I can't imagine 2 people from our fair state wanting anything to do with Obama. Just saying

That hurts. Maybe you're right and I should change my handle. I'm going to consider doing that. Actually my first choice was already taken. SoonerTulsan. So I opted for Oklabama. True.

Honestly when I first saw it I assumed you were an OU fan from Alabama but then it took a dark twist. Lol

I am a big, longtime OU fan, raised in Oklahoma, born in Alabama, whose mother was a big Tide fan. It's a family thing.

IMO, Oklabama's handle has Nothing to do with Obama, and I doubt that Fox News is limited to OUr Fair State...Although we are the BEST, we are not the Only...:cool:

Okla...By now, surely you know I'm a Big Fan of Yours!

We are connected by our love for Oklahoma University and the wonderful history we have enjoyed over the years. I envy your experiences, but I was looking on from a far. Boomer!

My g-g-great paternal grandparents stayed in Morgan County, Alabama when the soldiers came and ordered them to pack their bags for Haskell County, Oklahoma. Their staging area for entrance to Indian Territory was Sevier County, Arkansas. No family died in route.

My g-g-great aunt 'Liz was only one to register for a Dawes Freedmen Rolls number. Government listed her as Choctaw. She was Cherokee.

So what you're saying is, that there is only one Oklahoma, but two Oklabama's?

When that's happened in the past to me, I suspected it was because I'd been there before and had an aborted log in, but it tied up that handle.

You might go back and punch in your handle as an already registered user and then see if they'll send your new password to you email address. There might just be one Oklabama who registered already, and it was you.

I'll check it out. Thanks.

Nope. Didn't work. I am certain that the Sooner Message Board is the only place I use this handle. I've never even posted on another message board, Facebook, etc. Fox was going to a new thing for me.
