Hi OPB...

i grew up on a cattle ranch near Salem, and the day the Blazers won the championship we were supposed to be out vaccinating cows.  it was one of those days where nothing went right, and my dad was beyond frustrated...finally he said, give it up, let's go inside...so we did and got to see the game.  otherwise we would've missed it.  i'm really glad he lost his temper that day.  i've been a fan ever since, probably was before, and am really happy that we have a team back with good guys and good characters.  it makes it fun to watch!  here's hoping they can go deep into the playoffs!
