WNBA for Tulsa?

[riverrunner]

This is cool,I will visit Tulsa to see a couple of games,maybe hit a casino as well.

You forgot the She-Devils

I think the Tulsa She-Bears has a nice ring.

I would actually go to a game if they were called the "She-Bears".

WNBA Shock to Tulsa, Great!

Now let's work on MLS for Tulsa as well!

[PonderInc]

I'm excited. 

People will come to Tulsa from all over Oklahoma, as well as the surrounding states to see the WNBA in action.

The Drillers are fun b/c you get to see players before they become famous.  This will be cool b/c you'll get to see the best women's hoops players in the nation...perhaps the world...right here in Tulsa.  Folks will come to see the local team...AND they'll come to see their favorite players on the opposing teams. 

A chance to see Candace Parker play in Tulsa?  Yup.  I'll be there.

Years ago, I got to watch the US Olympic women's team practice.  They practiced against men from Division I college teams...just so someone could give them some competition.  (And that was in the early 90's...the level of play has skyrocketed since then.)

One of the funniest things I've ever seen was a group of women playing pickup ball against a bunch of cocky young men at the gym.  The guys didn't want to play against "a bunch of girls."  After they got spanked, the guys wanted a second chance to redeem themselves... 

I had forgotten about this until I was reading through this thread.  So many assumptions about women and basketball.  Stereotypical, outdated, mostly misinformed...and coming from a bunch of folks who know little or nothing about the game.  Times have changed, folks.  This isn't 1980 anymore.

Nolan Richardson is already talking about "40 Minutes of Hell, Part II."  This is going to be fun.

[Conan71]

I'm glad they got Nolan to lead the team.  I think he really should be able to create on-court excitement.  He's probably the only former Tulsa-area coach that went on to better bigger things (TU or ORU) who has always kept a good connection here.

I probably will make it out to a game or two.

I watched the OSU girls team play a pickup team of guys and lose.  I was amazed that somebody with set plays was losing to 5 people that probably didn't know each others names.

I got a new name for the team
Needs More Parking Lots

So they would be the Tulsa Needs More Parking Lots!!

"I am Adora, He-Man's twin sister and defender of the Crystal Castle. This is Spirit, my beloved steed. Fabulous secrets were revealed to me the day I held aloft my sword and said 'For the honor of Greyskull...I AM SHE-BEARZ!' Only a few others share this secret. Among them are Light Hope, Madame Razz, and Kowl. Together me and my friends of the Great Rebellion try to defend Etheria from the evil forces of Hordak."

Actually I'm thinking that before each home game, a man dressed as Elijah needs to come to mid-court. He curses the opponents and thus summons the She-Bearz from their lair.

This pre-game home ritual should please the bible thumpers, greatly.
