You actually have a Blazers tattoo??? Bro, if you aren't the biggest homer on earth!

Honestly, it's not just him. I don't have any tattoos, but I've thought about getting a couple; especially the Blazers pinwheel.

This is a must read.

Something about the fan support this year has felt different than the past few seasons. It's almost as if some of the diehards have been replaced by Cali transplants who want to cheer for the home team, but don't necessarily have their hearts in it like the people who grew up in Oregon and have been supporting the team for decades.

Anyone else feel like that this year? Maybe its just because the team didn't give them reason to cheer like they have the past few seasons.

Hmmm. I'm not sure if it's necessarily a bunch of bandwagons so much as it really is the issue of California transplants. I think that really speaks to just how bad it is to live in California the past decade; with the astronomical taxes and housing prices, not to mention the lack of jobs. People are fed up with it, and I'm willing to bet that most of the GS fans here are actual FANS who are loyal to their team; who kept their loyalty when they moved to Oregon or SW Washington.

That's just my take on it. I find it hard to believe that so many GS fans show up at Blazer games as bandwagons. I think most of them are loyal, life-long fans.

Ha! I only WISH I was an attractive brunette being pushed from behind!








.........wow, that sounded a lot better in my head.........

No Sly. I am not riding with you. Your history of driving under the influence of bone is very concerning to me.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Dammit, parking is already sold out.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

It's going to be fun going to the game with Mr Falcon!

Also I'm getting a few of the t-shirts they're giving to everyone at the game tomorrow to give away on the forum.

In all the parking garages? How do you know?

Ah, I see. We've had pretty good luck just paying when we get there. Hopefully, it works out. But I'll pass this along to my old man, just in case.

I'm going to park in the convention center, which sucks because I'm going to have to run those t-shirts back before the game, lol.

Take a drive around and check out the parking garages before the game. We're leaving Vancouver at 5, taking 205 to 84. We'll probably be there at 5:30, and we've had good luck with past games, including the playoffs last year, with those garages, so check them out.

We'll wait for you at Jacks. I'll be in a black leather coat, red shirt, and blue jeans with white shoes and a Blazer hat. My father will likely be decked out in piss yellow Warriors gear. We're both bearded, and we wear glasses. So we're not hard to miss, lol.

Dammit, parking is already sold out.

All the years we've gone, and we've never parked there. We always head down 2nd and hit a garage there. Kinda nice max ride over. Gotta remember the baseball bats, or it may take a bit to get back on one after the game.

Walk up one stop to the convention center and get on the Max there.

 

[THE HCP]
