Good ad!

there are Hurricanes in Tulsa? Never understood that
They should be the Tornados

I've always thought that was weird, too. Galveston's Ball High is the Golden Tornadoes--of course tornadoes do follow hurricanes but have always wondered why they aren't the Hurricanes....anyway, I'm not a siren fan, but did like the warn the hurricane message and it's better than nothing.

A Hurricane In Tulsa?
The origination of The University of Tulsa nickname - Golden Hurricane - came in 1922. A new football coach, Howard Acher, came to town and inherited a slew of nicknames dating back to 1895.

Past Tulsa teams were referred to as Kendallites, Presbyterians, Tigers, Orange and Black, and Tulsans. In the fall of 1922, the team nickname was "Yellow Jackets," which was apparently due to the fact that the team was wearing new black and yellow uniforms instead of the traditional orange and black.

The team opened the season and it was apparent that Tulsa was going to have a great year, and trying to seize some publicity for his team, Acher wanted to find a new nickname quickly.

After a remark was made in practice one day about "roaring through opponents," and because of their new jersey colors, he thought of Golden Tornadoes. However, he quickly found out that the name had been taken by Georgia Tech a few years earlier. From the tornado, he evolved meteorologically to the hurricane. A few days before the team left for a game against Texas A&M, Acher asked the squad to vote on the name, and thus "Golden Hurricane" was born.

I disagree, too. Those of us who live on the coast just marked the 2nd anniversary of Ike---which absolutely devastated Galveston and Bolivar Peninsula-- and I didn't think the video was bad or offensive.

How about the sound of a "stampede" as the ponies come out of the tunnel and make big plays.....something along the lines of "Rawhide" with thundering hooves. After all, we are MUSTANGS and wild ones at that!

that was my line of thinking as well.

following the initial line of thinking, then wouldn't it be disrespectful for tulsa to name their team the hurricane's to begin with?

Who cares if someone was offended? Everything ever created pisses off at least one person. Can't waste your entire life trying to please every last person who might not like it.

Quit being so damn sensitive. I'm guessing the intent was as a "warning" that the Hurricanes are coming and we need to prepare. I thought it was creative, albeit annoying. Get over yourselves.
