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

    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 It's almost as if some of the diehards have been replaced by Cali transplants who want to cheer for the home team, but don't necessarily have their hearts in it like the people who grew up in Oregon and have been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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.
