The Sun'll Come Out...

Just a teensy-tiny REMINDER that Blazersedge Night at The Agency is tomorrow (Thursday)!  Come at 6:00 p.m. for dinner and conversation and stay for the all-important game against Denver at 7:30 p.m.  I'm happy to report that I'm safely in town, unlike the last Blazersedge Night when I got snowed out.

We have nobody confirmed beyond who we've announced but there may be some extra celebrity media people around.  Who knows?  There might be a chance to hobnob with some of your favorites.

ALSO if you're up early Thursday you can check out Gavin Dawson, Casey Holdahl, and I on the Morning Sports Page during the 7:00 hour.  Should be good.  Then afterwards we're headed over to do the podcast.  What a busy, fun day!  Let's hope the vocal chords are still intact by Thursday evening for chatting with all of you and yelling for the Blazers or against the Evil Refs and their Undead Lord and Master, David J. Stern.  (The "J" stands for "Undead", of course.)

Interesting side note

I heard on the radio today that "The Bald-Faced Truth " (Canzano’s radio show) is going to be broadcasting from The Agency on Thursday (from 3 to 6). I wonder how long that has been scheduled… Maybe John is trying to crash our party.

Because Jon Canzano really needs to hang out with people who frequent a blog message board.

School and Blazers are a tough combo

I blame the Blazers winning the draft lottery in 2007 for at least .3 overall GPA. It was all smooth sailing through the bad years, but as soon hope got injected into the situation…

i realized a couple days ago i have a band geek concert at school at 7:30, call at 5:45. Of all the times this term for this jackass concert band to have a lame concert, this is the one. Hopefully it runs short enough, last term i snuck out for the other performances and caught a good chunk of the bulls blowout.

Blazers drinks

The Agency has drinks with some name tie-in to various Blazers that they only serve on gamedays. They still have the Diogu drink…sad. If you combined Michael Ruffin and Shavlik Randolph, you’d have “A White Ruffin” Can somebody please make this happen?

HEY!

While you are on the MSP, you should ask Gavin what it is like to have started the Greg Oden Hatred bandwagon. Did Greg snub Gavin for an interview? Did Greg take his girl? I just want to know where the hate came from.

The funny (not so funny) part...

is that Gavin will just say that he is making observations, that he really wants him to succeed, and that he has said nothing wrong. Kind of like how Canzano was saying that he was “giving Greg the benefit of the doubt” on his toughness, but basically wrote a column and hosted a radio show centered around questioning his toughness.

These local media boobs are soooo annoying for the reasons mentioned above. They start these shart storms but then act like they never said anything wrong when things improve or turnaround.

Have people lost sight of the fact that the Blazers are 37-22? My god, we could lead the NW division and be 2nd or 3rd in the West by the end of the week.
