One and Ten ... and NOT the Cougs ...

Dear Clay Bennet, Aubrey McClendon, and David Stern ...

One and ten is NEVER going to get better in Oklahoma City.

Your team sucks. It will keep sucking. There is another Clippers in the NBA.

You have a nice group of young players. Of course they are all going to get the #*(% out of town the moment they can ... and then you can go into the permanent state of NBA Lottery watching ...

You have some nice initial public support. Of course, the novelty will wear off. You are in Big 12 FOOTBALL country. And the sellouts will stop being automatic ...

And then all the money you overpaid for the Sonics, the relocation, the two seasons of losses in Seattle, and the shrinking revenue from the inevitable dwindling of support will prove to be a huge waste of money.

The NBA will have forsaken a city with tradition and history that the players like to go to and live in for another small market that can't support a team or keep its stars.

It will never be a success in the shadow of Oklahoma Football.

The sound of "Thunder" is from all the laughing ...
