Almost as in bad taste as "Bombers".

Any news from Dustbowl City about a name?

Might not be such a bad idea. Can you imagine the terror striking through other teams' anatomies when the mascot takes a turn on the arena floor? [Cheesy]

I like "it's our tax dollars, why are they complaining"

Apparently they only read part of the news. With all of the state tax money and tax breaks going to his team they can't claim to be on an island. not to mention the fact the NBA stated that OKC can't support the team without Tulsa.

We're not jealous, we just think that if the whole state supports the team the OKC mayor should quit telling the rest of the state to piss off.

One of them would rather have the cultural center over the big naked indian.  That means he still thinks there's going to be a big naked indian.

Name - Oklahoma Natives


BTW - that is not meant to be offensive.

Meh, doesn't matter to me anymore.  I visited enough in OKC while I was married (the ex was from there and had most of her family there) to know what kind of place it is and people that live in it.

They'll always see us as trying to copy them, we'll always see them as a festering craphole [^]

It would be kind of fun if they were the "Boomers."

My money is on some lame "new age" name akin to the "Yard Dawgz" or other idiotic names.  "Shockers" It could also be something lame like "Panthers" or "Tigers."  

I hope it is something Oklahoma or at least Oklahoma City centric.  My suggestions:
Tornadoes
Coomer's
Wildcats (Wildcaters)
Roughnecks  

Other's I have heard that are OK:
Cyclones
Outlaws
Natives (good try, but still lame)
Okies (mixed on that one)


It's also pointed out that the team name sounds better as "Oklahoma whatever" as "Oklahoma City Whatever" is just cumbersome.  "New York City Mets" just doesn't sound right.

Also also pointed out that Outlaws, Oilers (suggested in the Daily Oklahman) and Roughnecks are Tulsa associated names.   And finally, the Seattle sites are more fun to visit on potential names than the OKC ones (favorite:  The Temps - because as soon as something better comes up they're outta there).

Tulsa Tractors
Tulsa Rustlers
Tulsa Ice Storm
The Tulsa Streets (that's an extra scary name)
The Tulsa Taxes (ooh that one too)
Tulsa Chicken Poop Flingers

Ok, I'm just getting tired now.

Well "Shockers" would be acceptable as long as we had the corresponding enlarged sponge hand to wear.
