[okstatepike]

blah... I hate singular team names. :vomit-smiley-001:

But, as far as those go it's not too bad.

[Lewis the Pike]

Jazz and Heat are the only other non-plural team names I can think of off the top of my head.

NCAA has Stanford Cardinal, St. John Red storm, and Syracuse Orange.

any others?

[CaliforniaCowboy]

I just wonder what the heck a mascot for "Thunder" might look like... isn't that a sound?

I suppose they could borrow a few of the idiotic mascots that the goons have laying around to represent a "sooner".

They should have at least been able to pick a name where there can be a good mascot or a decent logo...

someone on Rivals suggested Thor...thought that was kinda cool

Orlando Magic.

How is thunder singular? Thunders? Thundii? I figured it was one of those words like moose.

[wickerbill]

Marshall Thundering Herd

Well, if they want to get plural, they should just make the team name Thunder Cats.

Already has a great slogan and lots of mascots to choose from!

I guess singular may be the wrong word. I should have said non-plural. :)

You know, like the Magic, Jazz, and Heat are more abstract than say the Bulls, Warriors, or Hornets. I like the latter names better due to the more concrete and plural nature of the names and their usage.

Thunder, wind and lightening. Sounds like an off-colored joke one of my uncles used to tell. Somehow the name just does not ring quite right for a basketball team. Perhaps in time....? Now, Cowboys and Gooners, those are good names! Go Pokes!!!

[CowboyDrewssss]

Sounds like a D-League name to me.

That is the only problem I have with the name. When you have a name like that, you end up with mascots like this:

I remember OSU fans throwing cups in his hat/head thing! That was hilarious!

[OSUFan]

So what are the colors? I've never seen thunder.

[Erick]

Oh that is rad! Just think...at the intro of every game we can turn out the lights, get some lightning effects and play Thunderstruck by AC/DC! How awesome will that be?! :music-smiley-005:

[Poke John I]

The fans can wear hats that look like a big, dark cloud; i.e., thunder head.

[OSUFan]

I wonder if thunder is suppose to be a verb instead of a noun "to strike, drive, inflict, give forth, etc., with loud noise or violent action." That would fit better for a basketball team than "a loud, explosive, resounding noise produced by the explosive expansion of air heated by a lightning discharge."

[GoPokes83]

I Thinf OSU Fan's on to something with that description. Maybe just call them the Discharge.

At least it not the Outlaws.
