Taste of Greatness

If you were able to attend the home season finale at the Rose Garden earlier this week, then you have witnessed a glimpse into the future. The Blazers were written off as lottery bound before the season began when our highly coveted #1 draft pick suffered a season ending injury. All of the momentum that had been built up in the previous season had been stopped before the new season began. The sports analysts and the national media all wrote off the Blazers, who traded away their best player (Zach Randolph), and the sudden loss of Greg Oden. All of this made the finish to the season all the more sweeter when the 3rd youngest team in league history finished the season with a .500 record.

Here are my top 10 most memorable Blazer moments of 07/08

10 - Buying a ticket package when the Blazers were losing & buying season tickets
9 - Being selected to the Fan Advisory Board
8 - Travis Outlaw's clutch shot off an isolation -
7 - Getting my article published in Rip City Magazine
6 - Martel Webster's 24 point 3rd quarter
5 - Travis Outlaw's buzzer beater to start the streak
4 - The 13 game win streak
3 - Back to back Sergio to Outlaw alley oops to end Fan Appreciation Night
2 - Getting the number 1 pick
1 - Brandon Roy's famous layup

At Fan Appreciation Night, Ty got the magazine with La Marcus' autograph and won a jersey.
