    A question for all who HATE the Thunder nickname?

    If you had been around when OU was first looking for a nickname,would SOONERS have been your first choice?I think if you can be honest and look at it from a perspective devoid of history,tradition,and sucess that is NOW associated with Sooners,you would say no.

    A nickname only truly means something after it has time and history attached to it.I would say THUNDER is not my favorite team name,BUT if that is the name I could grow to love it.

    For what it is worth,I think I would have opted for Roughriders orBoomers (the other two nicknames assiciated with early OU sports teams) over SOONERS.Now however after 48 years on this planet (39 as a Sooner fan)I would not cahnge it .
    Owen '05-'26 122-54-16 .677 (Foundation)
    Wilkinson '47-'63 145-29-4 .829 (DYNASTY 1) 3 NC
    Switzer '73-'88 157-29-4 .837(DYNASTY 2) 3 NC
    Stoops '99- PRESENT 179-46.793 (DYNASTY 3) 1 NC and still WAITING

    At OU tradition is about more than just one coach 861-319-53 .720

    I can live with Thunder provided Garth Brooks The Thunder Rolls is never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, played at a game.

    Others that are allowed:
    Thunderstruck - ACDC
    Thunderkiss 654 - Rob Zombie
    God of Thunder - KISS
