“Oklahoma is part of the original southern or Dixie states.”
Wow! Now that’s what I call a Sooner!

Well, even though I’m a Texas, I did go to school at OU long ago when it was a true football power - so go Boomer Sooner’s! Others say that it depends on the context of your discussion as to whether Oklahoma is a southern state or not. The one thing I will have to say is that I never had grits with my eggs while living in Oklahoma so for some that might be yet another criteria for determining whether they are southern folks or not. Nor were there many plantations. Perhaps we could say that Oklahoma is a southern state but not a Deep South state. Regardless, it is a great State with an awesome Governor!
