    I can see them changing the name of the Sonics to the Oklahoma City Dusters.

    I was actually looking at the Rockets Wikipedia Page the other day while I should've been studying.

    Coincidence? Nah! Ordained by the bball gods? I'm leaning towards yes...

    I wish the Grizzlies would drop that name and call themselves the Memphis Blues. That sounds slick. They could obviously stick with their colors.

    ...and years later, that theme was completely ignored as Houston gained a new football franchise and gave it an epically anticlimactic name.


    Our football team is called the TEXANS.

    Texans is not inappropriate, just dumb, might as well called them Humans.
