Ten years ago today, most of you were in a melancholy mood. Wistful. Like leaving your first girlfriend at the end of summer camp. Like watching the series finale of your favorite show, be it “The Wonder Years” or “Bonanza” or “The Sopranos.”

Ten years ago today, the big headline on The Oklahoman sports page declared: “THE PARTY’S OVER.”

The Hornets said good-bye. The Hornets played their final Oklahoma City home game on April 13, 2007. Lost to Denver 107-105, virtually ending the Hornets’ playoff hopes, then went on a season-ending, three-game road trip and shifted back to New Orleans.
