i love Oklahoma Tribe & so far don't like anything else. i'm as confident in 'tribe' name as george costanza was of 'jerk-store.' nicknames would be the tribe, the tribe of oklahoma. btw, "tribe n. A unit of sociopolitical organization consisting of a number of families, clans, or other groups who share a common ancestry and culture."

this would incorporate all oklahoma citizens, not just native americans of oklahoma. we could have tribal dances from groups all around the world to entertain during some of the halftime shows. the first thing people say is this is not pc, but i'd defy any argument with a counter of what the word "tribe" means. it's a definition of a group of people just like 'gang' or 'clan' is except it hasn't been exploited into something distasteful so it's the perfect name for us & the history of our state.

i have a long explanation on the link above. don't read it unless you have plenty of time.

I heard "Tribe" on the Sports Animal today, and I'm not 100% opposed to it.
