Wearing my new Rudy jersey in Seattle (sad story)

by S-dog on Jul 9, 2008 10:51 PM PDT

So, my fancy new Rudy jersey showed up to my doorstep today. (in Seattle)

I wore it all day today, and without thinking wore it out to dinner with a friend of mine. As we were eating a man walks by with a Green colored t-shirt.

All it says is, "Sonics"

He gave me the saddest look in the world. I sad, "I'm really sorry man"

"It's OK, just don't rub it in"

"Hey, if it makes you feel better, I'm from Portland. And if you want to jump on the bandwagon, you're more than welcome!"

"Yeah, alot of people are, it might be the only option"

The guy was so sad I almost felt bad for showing off my new Rudy gear.

Nah....

edit: picture added. terrible pic, I covered up the "5". I also haven't shaved in a week, but Rudy doesn't shave...why should I?

To quote that big guy...

Not that there’s anything wrong with that…

You should show up to the Rose Garden with that

Bring a pack of Marlboros and you might find yourself shooting with the Blazers in pre-game warm-ups. Then when Rudy comes out of the locker room, security will have to beat you down.

If he stands next to Rudy

Security won’t know who to shoot!

Both white guys are scruffy, and smoking a Euro cigarette! Both haven’t bathed in a month! Both have taco crumbs in their stubble! Who do I shoot?!

WHICH ONE IS THE REAL RUDY?!?

Ha!

Sadly Rudy is what 6’6”? and I’m only 6’. Otherwise I might attempt to get in on pre-game! That would be awesome…

Feelin' for the Sonics Fans

I went to college in the early-mid 90s up in Bellingham, WA and my roommates were all Sonics fans. I’d have my posters of Clyde dunking and the famous “Uh Oh” Blazer poster up, while my roomies would have their Kemp “Reign man” posters.
Watching Sonics/Blazers games on TV with them was a series of trash-talkin’ affairs, but all in good fun. We’d even go down to watch games in Seattle, and me often being the only Blazer fan holdin’ it down in certain sections, would have to endure the taunts of drunk Sonics supporters.
Many good memories of this rivalry. I’m gonna miss it.
It was all in good fun, and had history not played out the way it did when Paul had the Blazers up for sale, it could easily be us watching our team pack up for Oklahoma City. Then we’d be the ones heartbroken.

I hear ya.

I was VERY worried that we were going to be in OKC.

My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

If you do a mirror flip on the pic

Then PORTLAND will read the right way, and instead of it being you taking a pic of yourself in a mirror, it turns into a nice pic of you holding a camera for no reason, while giving a thumbs up.

Nice jersey, that’s cool it showed up so fast!
