Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Remember students...A is for apple...

Just how far has our team come?  Luckily, I moved up here about 5 years ago so...the Blazers decided to change their image, philosophy, just in time for me!...So I am spoiled...I met KP..before I knew exactly who he was and what he was doing..He shared with us his vision on the team, culture etc...He talked about how excited he was about the upcoming draft (B ROY..obviously)...I really didn't follow the Blazers before I moved up here.  Luckily, I didn't even know of the "JailBlazer" era..until I moved here.  When I got here..I used to get free tix at Moe's in Wilsonville..for buying a burrito!   That was a good enough reason for me to catch professional sporting event.

So, how far has our team, the Blazers come?

Yesterday, marked the start of Alphabet days at my boys school...count down from A-Z..with Z being Zip up your backpack and go home!

Yesterday was A day....Bring an Apple.

Today was B day....BLAZERS DAY!!!!!!

Last year it was ......Bubble gum day.  I imagine it has been bubble gum day for almost a decade.

So I sent my oldest son in his B Roy Gear...and my youngest son in his Oden Jersey.... We love to represent!

How far has this team come?

All I know is that since I have been here I have embraced this team..and am a FAN for Life!  And my wife is hooked as well! She can even spell Przybilla!!!

Remember class ...B is...and always will be for Blazers!!!

Enjoy your day and thanks for stopping by.

We are on top.

Roy is the best player in the world with the exception of Incarcerated Mike from Queensbridge .

I thought about that one
