Editorial: Congratulations to OSU, Gundy

Tulsa Beacon

Congratulations to Coach Mike Gundy and the Oklahoma State football team. The Cowboys will proudly represent their university and the State of Oklahoma at the Fiesta Bowl and play a powerful Notre Dame team. OSU and Notre Dame have never played each other.

Editorial: Venables is a proven winner

Tulsa Beacon

Replacing Lincoln Riley with Brent Venables may turn out to be one of the best things to ever happen to Oklahoma football. That’s saying a lot. Riley was less than candid when he quit OU to take the job at USC. Riley won a lot of games at OU. He averaged 11 wins and two…

Letter: What made Lincoln Riley leave OU?

Tulsa Beacon

The reasons most heard, for (Lincoln Riley’s) leaving seems to be about three things. One of them being that he left for a significant salary increase. A second reason being for the opportunity of returning the Trojans to a powerful football team as Pete Carroll did. With his recruiting ability to  have drawn California players…

Editorial: Don’t carry a gun on a plane

Tulsa Beacon

If you are flying somewhere for Christmas, don’t try to carry on a loaded firearm on a plane. It’s illegal. Transportation and Security Administration (TSA) agents during the Thanksgiving holiday stopped a woman in Boston’s Logan Airport who tried to carry on a .357 magnum revolver loaded with five rounds. She was arrested and charged…

Letter: America and abortion

Tulsa Beacon

America, which once proposed to glorify God, and promote His Word around the world, is now descending to the depths of Hell.  One can see that every single day, including the recent Supreme Court arguments, questions, and answers concerning abortion. Unfortunately, I missed too much of what was said.  But God and His Laws probably…
