Happy Birthday Blazers!

I totally forgot, today was the day in 1970 the Blazers were born!

I wonder if there will be any mention of that during the game or the introductions.

We have a cool picture from the meeting where the deal was finalized. We'll show it on the broadcast.

Dorky as it sounds, I hope the crowd sings "happy birthday" to the team. heh.


On second thought, maybe not.

 

[BlazerBenner]

That's right!

Congratulations to Harry Glickman and Herman Zarkowski for putting all of this together. There's more to congratulate, but I'll let others do it.

 

[Buzz Killington]

fuck, only have the L*kers broadcast tonight.

Glickman will surely be honored, including the Schonz and others involved. Many have passed away since then, as it was 40 years ago, and some of these guys were already in their 40's and 50's.

fuck, only have the L*kers broadcast tonight.

It might be on a Fox Sports Northwest or something like that via Seattle. It could also be on NBA-TV throughout the night.
