THUNDER UP!

Regardless of your interest or lack of interest in OKC's team, I'm proud to have something from Oklahoma that is globally known. When I first arrived in Europe peoples usual association with Oklahoma was the Murrah Building bombing, but now I have people respond with "Ahh the beard". This sports team has really rallied our state and given us something of our own to be proud of. I love people congratulating me on our state's success and actually knowing about Oklahoma! They still might think it's "Up by Canada", but at least now they can pronounce it and know us Okies got somethin' goin' on.


Right after I wrote this I found this news clip: http://kfor.com/2012/06/12/thunder-up-remember-how-far-oklahoma-has-come/

And now some light-hearted clips:
