    So how do you like the Thunder now?

    I was originally going to post this on the Thunder Talk board BUT I already know how the other 6 TT posters feel about our Thunder.

    I recall that many people were unmoved by the NBA coming to OKC in the first place,others predicted lukewarm support for a team unlikely to be any good, still others were opposed to a LAME team name.

    I'm curious what the average SF member thinks now.Have you jumped on board the Thudermobile(like me)?I find myself addly exilirated by the sucess of this season especially given the doubts voiced from both within and without the Sooner state.I am thrilled when I hear the national media talk about OKC and the Thunder.I also appreciate the impact the Thunder has had on downtown OKC.Brictown hums like a giant hyperactive hive on game night.AS for the nickname ,I admit to being lukewarm due largely to an association with the CHL Thunder BUT it has grown on me.Amazing the effect of having a winning MAJOR LEAGUE team can have on people,a city, and even a state.

    I love the team.

    I still hate the colors, logo and name.

    Love the team. Love gamenights. Love the passion and intensity. Love the colors. Logo still sucks. Team name is fine.

    I hate basketball, so I don't give a damn about the Thunder.

    Now hockey, on the other hand...

    Re: So how do you like the Thunder now?

    I have no strong feelings either way about the name or colors. I love the team. We have some young hard-working players that actually want to use their talent, compared to what many NBA players do. I believe the Wizards just had a player the other day who took a seat on the bench because he "just didn't want to play". I'm happy to have a big league team here. It is weird to cheer and look over and see some dude in an osu hat cheering as well. Fun to watch them either way.

    whats great about this being a college state 1st, after a good play you look over, high 5 the guy and then silently think to yourself..."yep, youre still a mega doosh" while giving a fake smile at the osu guy

    That is what is great about the Thunder , it merges OU/OSU...Tulsa/OKC...all boundaries should be in support of our one major league team...and I think we are...

    Still think the name and all that is horrible but not enough to not like the team. Favorite sports team after the Sooners.

    When did Oklahoma get a pro basketball team?

    I thought all those busy nights around the ford center was due to a Monster truck rally or a WWE event.

    Have they won many games this year?

    That was my exact thought too.I tried to make arrangements to go to a Thunder game this week because it is my 50th birthday today and that was birthday wish.All my plans failed but I'm going to keep trying.This is one of those times when the legally blind thing really bites.
