    It's true. I sent a studio-wide memo explaining that since my team is on an 11-game winning streak, that they should not make eye contact with me and to speak only when spoken to. I live in L.A. so it didn't go over very well.

    Yes they are 13-2. Do I expect them to win at an .800+ winning percentage the rest of the season? No.

    When they go 18-0, they'll have a 31-2 record!

    I don't know who posted it, but I'm with them: this team could go 1-5 or 5-1 in the next six games and I wouldn't be surprised either way. At the moment, I'm so gobsmacked I can't find my bearings. It's a lot of fun though!

    Good Question!

    And What do you call somebody that actually enjoys the lows to the fullest, and revels in the highs when they come around without fear of coming down. A Maniac perhaps?

    I love the winning streak but maybe its just me but i'm getting damn tired of everytime anyone talks about the Blazers they have to bring up how "soft" our schedule is before talking about anything important.

    As a "soccer mom", I just am a fan of effort. All I really want to see is our team play to their potential. I've been down on this team before, I know it hasn't been many time, but it was because we lacked effort and drive. This year's team is much different. The "never say die" attitude is what excites me!

    You don't have to explain yourself, Mags. Just do what you do! :)

    Everyone's a cynic these days. Why follow a sports team if you can't enjoy it when they have a little success? And when someone does try to enjoy the moment, or praise their team, there is always some 'cool kid' standing by to piss in their cheerios.

    I think everyone, from the lowliest fan to the players themselves, are surprised with how well the Blazers have done thus far.

    No caveats required.

    :cheers:
