I've been watching the Blazers for many years. Season ticket holder I am (Yoda speak). Before this season started I thought it would be cool to set a goal / mission to watch EVERY Blazer game this year, in person or on TV.  I've never done that before, even being a hard core fan.

There were times when it became difficult, especially weekend games on the East Coast for some reason when I had to wake up from my nice afternoon nap to watch the last three quarters. However, I accomplished the goal!! I watched all 82 games this year.

Before the playoffs I decided to expand the goal - "let's watch every playoff game, regardless of which teams are playing". And so far I have done so. I have all the channels on TV, so I was covered. And of course the Internet feeds... I can say with 100% accuracy that I have now watched every Blazer game and every NBA playoff game this year.  The finish line is coming, and I won't miss a game. Of course my wife thinks I'm nuts, however....  I even bought a new LCD flat screen for my "man cave" in April to further my goal.  It's personal now, and I won't fail.

I'm wondering if there are any other hard cores out there like me?  Poll below.

Where Amazing and Pizza happens....

Update, 5-23:
I failed. Call it Karma, or whatever - I should have never posted this. Today, under a great sun and in good weather, I took my puppy to the doggy park. It was fabulous, we ran, we played, we grunted, we pottied, we had tons of fun. We then proceeded home, ate some snacks, and got ready for the LAL/DEN tip off. 45 minutes to go, I'm in my man cave, laying there in front of the big screen, snacking with my favorite beverage and friend (dog). Soon the mind says: "Dude, a 15-30 minute nap here would be perfect, the temperature is perfect, it's quiet, it's all perfect" and my puppy is already snoring at my side. I fall for it, damned temptation, my pastor warned me about it.

3.5 hours later I awoke to an infomercial on TV and a sleeping puppy butt in my face. No, no, no - this can't be real - No, I missed the game. I run out to the main room and yell at the wife and kids for not waking me up, and get blank looks from them (The "Oh, Dad is freaking out look"). I'm told to be quiet as they are watching that Mall Cop movie on DVD. "Don't you understand what just happened?" I state. Nobody cares. Mall Cop is on you know.

No no no. I just posted this on BEdge and this happens, this, in one day? I feel like the announcer who talks about how good a player is shooting free throws when he is at the line and then he misses.

Epic Fail.  There is always next year.
