Default OKC Sonics!

I thought it was about time to start a thread on one of the biggest things to happen in Oklahoma history!! The possibility of having the NBA in OKC!

I was just getting ready to post about that. I've never even been to OKC or Seattle, but that shocked me!

You all need to go to ESPN.com and read their message boards. The people of Seattle absolutely disgust me. They will not give OKC the time of day and act as though the Sonics staying in Seattle is a done deal. While we all know it's the opposite.

Oh, they're just sore losers. Pun intended.

I moved to western Washington in 2005 after 60 years as an Okie. (I'm ready to move back.) All our local TV and radio comes out of Seattle, so it's all over the news. Neither of us is a fan of basketball at any level, so we don't really care where the team is, but it's fun hearing about it. (Mostly whining.) We had just moved out here before Hurricane Katrina and it was pretty cool reading the news when the Hornets moved to OKC.

When we went to a new dentist last year, his first comment on hearing where we were from, was, "You're trying to steal our Sonics." My husband has said these folks in Seattle may think they're dealing with a hick from a hick town in Oklahoma but they don't realize the power and money in his business and his family.

A quick note off-topic - I was wearing my OSU sweatshirt while shopping this week. A woman came up to me and told me proudly that her daughter will be playing softball at OSU next year. My bummer of the day - OSU-Texas is on TV today but we get Pac-10 teams instead.

And as usual, Ok State could get a hundred point lead on Texas and learn how to give that up. I swear, it's like a curse on OSU or something when it comes to Texas. I knew OSU was going to lose that game even when they were up 21 in the fourth quarter. Too bad, I was rooting for OSU.

That's great news about the Sonics and Ok City. I haven't read the article but will.

I cant believe "Ok State"...Which is exactly what I wil call them for now on! Forget the respect of the normal abbreviation of OSU. They have never even been an Ok team to begin with! LOL. Back to the Sonics....I hope Ok City drops the sonic name to kill the drama if they finally end up here.

Hey, I've been an OSU fan since I was there over 40 years ago. Anybody can be a fan of a consistent winner like OU. It takes real character to stay with my Cowboys. Now don't go beatin' on me. I really love 'em.

As for a name for the Sonics. To listen to the people out here, they'd like to call 'em the OKC Robbers, Rustlers, Highjackers, etc.

Gundys Lil Boys....

Just kidding about Gundys boys....It was a terrible upset with Texas. Luck I tell ya! The Pokes play for OU every year and typically mess up some games prior to bedlam because of bad coaching or something. This year they have been doing really well (minus Troy) but they just havent been able to pull out some games they should have won. OSU has great basketball, wrestling, baseball and golf. OSU is also one of the top Us to have the most NCAA Titles.

Sonics...The people of Seattle are given a deadline to design/make an appropriate arena by OKC leaders who are the owners and Stern/NBA agree. Seattle cant find the money...Stern bashes Seattle...Seattle bashes OKC....Seattle bashes Seattle leaders...Seattle bashes OKC leaders...Seattle bashes the NBA. Oh ya...OKC also got bashed hard by New Orleans for helping the Hornets. Pathetic.
