Sonics to OKC?????

[texiban001]

Ok, so let me get this straight.....the Seattle Supersonics are moving to Oklahoma City??? Damn they been had! Now I'm not blaming the owner or Oklahoma City, but don't you think that Seattle should have seen this coming and done something more to prevent it? This is the same crap that almost cost them the Seahawks before Paul Allen bought them and built his own stadium. The people of Seattle voted against a modernization of Key Arena then the state legislature voted against ANY modernization or a new arena and therefor forced the move and now they are complaining about it? They need to shut the f*** up as they are getting $75 mil in return AND get to keep the name , colors and records for the next team.

Now for OKC. What the hell is there to do in OKLAHOMA CITY for an NBA player, or any professional athlete for that matter when they are not playing? I lived there so I can say without malice that OKC sucks! Strip clubs are actually bikini clubs, you can only buy 3.2 beer unless you go to the liquor store and buy it hot and the night clubs all close at or before 1:00am.(This could have changed but I doubt it.)

What are they going to call the team now, The Oklahoma City Drillers, the Inbreds, the Okies, the Dokies, the Pokies, etc?

We need to send in the best ones when the team starts taking suggestions! We can come up with some good ones!

Dirt Merchants, Trailer Trash, Taints, Tumbleweed...

Call them the Switzers after old Barry.

The Oklahoma Switzers...hmmm...that ain't too bad! However, I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up calling them the '89er's, after the land rush in 1889. What other history does Oklahoma have to call on? ;D

How about the OKC Horndogs? After a month in OKC the players are going to be lookin' for some tail that actually have all their teeth!

On a side note though, how about the Rockets picking up Brent Barry? That's some good player right there. He will definitely help.
