    Wind may be short for "three sheets to the wind"?

    Bison and Barons would have been better choices.

    The Oklahoma Wrath.

    Their colors could be Purple or Violet.

    Lakers be damned.

    The replacement names I thought of when Thunder was rumored to have been chosen were Bison and Coyotes. They are geographically accurate, and are not natural disasters. I'm fairy sure new sports franchises will try to shy away from names like Hurricanes, Tornadoes, or anything else that could render plenty of people homeless or worse.

    Oh, and I can't wait for M. Bison and Street Fighter IV; I'm a nerd.
