Chokelahoma (Oklahoma nickname)

“Chokelahoma” (choke + Oklahoma) is an unflattering nickname for the state of Oklahoma, more usually for just Oklahoma University. The nickname is used most often at the Texas-Oklahoma football game known as the Red River Rivalry. The nickname began about 1988, when Oklahoma lost the NCAA basketball championship game to Kansas.
 
Zero U. is another nickname for Oklahoma University.

Folks around these parts are talking about just two subjects: invading Iraq and the invasion of Dallas on Saturday by a bunch of Oklahoma Gomers for the Texas-OU game (prediction: Texas 24, OU 20). So let’s get on with our annual sophomoric yet therapeutic spanking of Okrahoma, Jokelahoma, Mobilehoma, Brokelahoma, Chokelahoma, Croaklahoma or whatever you prefer to call it.
