Might make the Blaze vs. Blazers a little confusing.

From wikipedia:

    * State bird: Scissortail flycatcher
    * State tree: Eastern Redbud
    * State mammal: American Bison
    * State beverage: Milk
    * State game bird: Wild Turkey
    * State fish: Sandbass
    * State floral emblem: Mistletoe
    * State flower: Oklahoma Rose
    * State wildflower: Indian Blanket (Gaillardia pulchellum)
    * State grass: Indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans)
    * State fossil: Saurophaganax maximus
    * State rock: Rose rock
    * State insect: Honeybee
    * State soil: Port Silt Loam
    * State reptile: Collared Lizard
    * State amphibian: Bullfrog
    * State meal: fried okra, squash, cornbread, barbecue pork, biscuits, sausage and gravy, grits, corn, strawberries, chicken fried steak, pecan pie, and black-eyed peas.
    * State folk dance: Square Dance
    * State percussive instrument: drum
    * State waltz: Oklahoma Wind
    * State butterfly: Black Swallowtail
    * State song: "Oklahoma!"

I'm pretty sure that "flycatchers" isn't going to work as a name. Bison, Lizards or Bullfrogs, potentially I guess.  Also, it cracks me up that there is such a specific "state meal".

I think a name like the "Choctaw" would be a great name, after the major Native-American tribe there (the one whose language from which the word "Oklahoma" is derived.)  However, as alluded to earlier, Native American sports names are seen as taboo.

Oklahoma Rose actually doesn't sound too bad... especially if they trade for the kid named rose...

I like the Oklahoma Wind.   Name the team after the state waltz. 


I also like the Oklahoma Wild Turkey.

Catering to the alcoholic crowd, I see.

Fair warning:  next person who makes a terrorism "joke" in this thread is getting, at minimum, a 90 day suspension.

Next time you're tempted to joke about the bombing of the Murrah building, click HERE and take a moment to reflect.

I was actually going to suggest the Oklahoma Wind or perhaps the Oklahoma Turbines in honor of T Boone Pickens.

That's an alcoholic drink?  I had no idea.

I can't tell if this was sarcasm or not, so in case it wasn't:



Kentucky might object to Oklahoma naming a team after a bourbon.

Congrats on 700, btw.
