What’s Up With El Reno?

[Firpo]

Being a newly adopted Okie I’m still trying to figure some things out here. Soooooooooo is there something wrong with El Reno ie is it an SH_ _ hole? We (Elgin) played them this past Friday and our team after winning was threatened with being shot and stabbed! WT Heck?? The police had to respond and escort our team to their busses where they were egged and then had to have a police escort out of town. Holy Crap!! Not sure how to even respond. Sounds to me like El Reno is a place to be avoided, much like South Chicago and East LA. Yikes!!!!

you mean the refs didn't ask your coaches and players if they had any guns or knives? and offer some to those who forgot to bring theirs?

ehhhh... Its your average smaller OK city with some rough edges. I would rate it better than okmulgee or lawton. I am a big fan of going and getting a burger there.

Two things to remember about Oklahoma.

1. El Reno kinda sucks (town is run down but I know some good people who call it home too).
2. People take high school sports WAY too seriously in Oklahoma.

El Reno isn’t a bad place. A couple of good places to get a burger. Sounds like a few bad apples were shining bright the night of the game. Probably some whiskey flowing in the stands.

Its different after sun goes down.
The burgers are good but they close at 8 p.m.
