       Future regional rival

       I know this team is still over a year from its initial faceoff,
       but if another team in the area were to come in, where do you
       think it'd be?
       Some ideas:
       *Oklahoma City - one-team (Big 5) city with an arena that hosts
       the Thunder, ownership group partly associated with the Fort
       Worth team
       *Houston - fourth largest city, fifth largest US metro, biggest
       Texas lacrosse community aside from Dallas
       *Austin - only one Big 5 (MLS) team, UT arena holds over 16k for
       basketball and has hosted arena football
       *San Antonio - seventh largest US city, only one Big 5 team
       (which has passionate fanbase)
       *Tulsa - second largest city in Oklahoma, pro-appropriate arena,
       best lacrosse community in the state
       *New Orleans - Drew Brees did say lacrosse was his favorite
       sport to watch
       IMHO, the Deep South is probably not included in the league's
       immediate expansion plans, or at least the next six teams,
       unless Houston has an interested ownership group. I do think the
       passionate Thunder fanbase in OKC could get behind a team there,
       too, though.
