The OKC Thunder

Now that Oklahoma has an NBA basketball team coming to play permanently in our city, with a new nickname, at least according to many media outlets including SI.com, and that new name is "Thunder". Hmmm, OKC Thunder. I actually like it. Now all they have to come up with is a mascot and music for the team introductions. I was trying to think of a good song to emphasise thunder and came up with ACDC's "Thunderstruck". Angus and Malcolm Young with that distinct hard rock classic style begin to play, as a sold out crowd readies, lights go down and smoke/fog rolls in and lightening begins to flash from overhead.... "Thunderstruck" begins to play. The announcer, "Ladies and Gentlemen, Your Oklahoma City Thunder!" Awesome...

EDIT: Today, Wednesday, 9/3/2008, the announcement was made at 5:05pm revealing the new team name, logo and colors. OKC Thunder. Interestingly enough, as they began the reveal, they began to play ACDC's Thunderstruck! Hmmm....

Thunderstruck - AC/DC
