It's a big weekend for the Thunder at the Ford Center with home games both Friday and Sunday nights. If you haven't been watching of late, this team is getting quite a bit better. They've won 2 of their last 3 and should have some exciting games with the Pistons and Heat this weekend.

Retail may not be where many would like it, but the club scene in Bricktown is well on its way. NewsOK's Steve Lackmeyer is reporting that, while later than initially planned, Michael Murphy’s Dueling Pianos is set to open on Valentine's Day.

Also, perhaps you remember the movie "Coyote Ugly" about the nightclub where the lady bartenders dance on top of the bar... Well, the concept has spread into a national chain, and Oklahoma City will be joining the mix in March when a Coyote Ugly Saloon opens in the Miller-Jackson Building.

At the city council chambers this morning, Mayor Mick Cornett declared January 13th "Sam Bradford Day" in Oklahoma City, honoring the University of Oklahoma quarterback's Heisman Trophy win last month. Though OU has had 4 other Heisman winners, Bradford, who attended Putnam City North, is the first from Oklahoma City to capture the prestigious award.

Sooner fans across the metro are awaiting Bradford's decision on whether to return to OU or declare for the upcoming NFL draft. Many projections have the 3rd year sophomore being chosen in the top 10, if he opts to leave, but following another heartbreaking BCS defeat, OU loyalists hope he'll come back for another chance at the National Championship.

Is there a better day to make those fans happy than "Sam Bradford Day"...?

Update: The University of Oklahoma will hold a press conference today (1/14) at 4:30pm. It is being reported that Bradford will announce he's returning.

Jesse knew the photo from last week was taken at the fairgrounds. In fact, I think Jesse has been the first to guess correctly a few times for "Where in the Metro?". Who can identify this shot?

Do you have an original photo you think would make an interesting "Where in the Metro?" shot? Just send it my way for consideration.
