OKC Sooner Sonics?
Now that Oklahoma City businessmen have purchased the Seattle Super Sonics, there is speculation that by 2008, they will move the team to Oklahoma City to replace the New Orleans Hornets, who will move back to New Orleans. I suggest changing the team name to "Sooner Sonics" and promote the Sooner state. So many people around the country in metropoli think that the Okies are kind of backward. We really just enjoy poking fun at ourselves with the cow chip throwing and the American Indian elaborate dances, and our references to the Dust Bowl of the 30's. In fact, Oklahoma is very progressive. Oil and gas exploration have made the state coffers abundant. Even with plant closings in Oklahoma City, several new ventures have been proposed, one involves a company from China resurrecting the old MG sports car line.
