Are you a Thunder super fan?


Posted February 15, 2009 by Jenni Carlson Comment on this article Leave a comment

We had some fun in today’s sports section profiling four Thunder super fans.

With the team preparing to unveil its new mascot, we thought it would be fitting to celebrate the fans who’ve been unofficial fill-ins during the first half of this season. These are folks who dress up, wear costumes, have props — the whole zany nine yards.

But they aren’t the only super fans, of course. There are plenty of other Thunder fans who are super but just not quite as noticeable.

Maybe they come every night and always root, root, root for the home team. Maybe they drive for hours or even from out of state to see the team. Maybe they sacrifice their tickets so others can see the team. Maybe they do the defense chant when no one else in their section is.

We would love to tell their stories, too.

If you or someone you know is a Thunder super fan, let me know. E-mail me at jcarlson@opubco.com. I’ll be gathering ideas for a future story about these dedicated fans.
