back in the late 60s in high school I somehow got together $600 and bought shares when the Sonics went public.  The Sonics should have stayed public and not sold out in the first place.  They were owned by the people,not only wealthy people but those like me.


The Okalahoma Cow Patties  are just not exciting.  I loved the Sonics - remember the 1979  championship against Elvin Hayes and the Bullets.


OH well   RIP

Some people in OKC fell in love with the Hornets in their two seasons in Oklahoma...this is understandable, people in Oklahoma are very loyal to their teams...If you think that people in Oklahoma are not excited about the prospects of the Sonics coming to OKC...you sir...are an idiot.  Don't let the posts of a few people on this web site let you think that Oklahoma is not excited...but obviously excitement is something that you Seattle bullet eaters don't understand.

BTW...next time you have trouble spelling Oklahoma, just sing the song!  OK!

Ok ok but calling us all bullet eaters is a bit of an insult towards all of us. I know that some other idiot though did call it the cow patties and his comments ok OKC. I know you guys want a franchise but you do have to understand what were going through here as our team is stripped away from us and David Stern simply smiles and laughs.

OKmanUbet.....

What is it with you guy's? You've put nothing into this franchise, we've loved it, celebrated it, still have filled the arena to the upper half of the NBA and now you take it away from us and think you can call us names? You folks are completely tasteless.

This matters to us and it matters to me. You disrespect every penny I've spent celebrating this franchise, you disrespect every penny my dad spent taking me to games when I was a kid. You disrespect 41 years of basketball as if it never existed.

Grow up.

U Double U....Did you read any of the other posts?  Did you not see where fish and wheels made reference to Cow patties?...I think I was perfectly within my rights to throw back a stereotypical insult just like the one I saw...However, as I told Hawkman in a private message....two wrongs don't make a right, so I'm sorry if you were offended.

You've put nothing into this franchise, we've loved it, celebrated it, still have filled the arena to the upper half of the NBA and now you take it away from us

I have no control over this....and I haven't taken anything away from you.  Last time I checked I didn't own the Sonics.

You folks are completely tasteless.

yet another generalized insult!

You disrespect every penny I've spent celebrating this franchise, you disrespect every penny my dad spent taking me to games when I was a kid

I really don't care how much money you or your father have spent celebrating the Sonics...every other sports fan in the United States has spent their fair share of money enjoying the teams they follow also....you are not alone.

You disrespect 41 years of basketball as if it never existed.

Show me one time in all my posts where I disrespected the Sonics history...I'm truly sorry for the loss....true Sonics fans deserve better.  Understand this though...it has nothing to do with me.  Do I want the NBA in OKC?...YES!...Will I be glad to see the Sonics or any other franchise move to OKC?....YES.   Now how is this disrespectful?
