    A very good read, and funny, I found over at Blazers edge. Sherman's the man.

    I wonder if one of those nine other games he's going to will feature the Thunder. I think he'd be surprised by the disdain Portland fans would have for a terrible team representing a brand name that's never played in this building.

    We were there, screaming our heads off. I know it was Minnesota in November, but I could hardly talk the next day.

    I'm glad Sherman didn't mention the booing of Kevin Love. I thought Blazer fans had more class than that and it was completely unecessary. I'm glad Sherman didn't let that have a negative impact on his experience.

    Us again. The whole famn damily decked out in our red jerseys. We're going to two games in a row later this months. So, we'll be breaking out our new black jerseys for one of the games (probably Miami).

    Yes, us again. What can I say? Northern Euopean ancestors and living in a cloudy climate makes Casper look like he has a nice tan next to us.

    We NEVER leave early. No matter what the score, we stick it out to the end. I just don't get the whole show-up late, leave early mentality. Attending a Blazers game is the highlight of our evening and one of our favorite family activities. Why would we want it to end prematurely?

    Us too. Sounds like Sherman got the same quarter-season weekend pack we did. We also picked up tickets for the Miami game on the 26th. So, we have 10 more (at least) games to look forward to. We'll probably pick up a couple more games over the course of the season. We went to 13 games last season - and that seems about right given our other commitments (coaching and playing sports, school, etc.)

    Not if he got the same 10-game weekend pack we did (and it sounds like he did). The two Thunder games in Portland are on a Wednesday and a Monday. So, not part of the weekend pack. Ironically, both times the Blazers play in Oklahoma City this season are on Friday evenings.

    If he's enamored with Przybilla, just wait until he sees Greg Oden.
