College Football doesn't count.
I didn't reference anybody specifically so there's no personal attack coming from me. If anybody took it personally, then perhaps there is a sore spot I hit by interrupting a "let us know look at the morally superior Okies." While I would definately agree that no place on earth is without flaw, Oklahoma has more needs for improvement than most.

While the pulling guard was busy attacking me personally, nobody seemed to bother considering my question about what Oklahoma does better.

I have one which is a good news/bad news thing. Our cost of living is lower even after factoring in income differences. The dollar does actually go about 6% farther--last cost of living estimate I read--than the Average. High income areas tend to have about the inverse effect. However, that 6% difference is generally exceeded by the difference in income far above 6%. These are averages so figuring out what they really mean isn't easy or obvious.

We have lots of undeveloped land. I like how no matter where you are, you can get to nowhere pretty fast. I like being able to drive into "the country" in no more than 10-15 minutes from the most populated areas. This is cool.

I can find quantifiable QOL advantages of Oklahoma.

Can anybody else?
