Support the team--GO TO THE GAME!

Do you want to keep the Sonics in Seattle? Of course you do. The best way to support the team is to buy tickets to the game, which is where my friend Jason Rubenstein comes in.

Jason works for the Sonics and is as passionate about the game as we are. He also wants to get as many people to games as possible, so he's offering some special deals to Supersonicsoul readers:

Election Time

Ah, the leaves are turning, a crisp smell is in the air, and placards abound in front yards across the land - election time is here, friends.

While the citizenry ponders whether to vote for the devil they know, or to turn to the devil they don't, I could care less. In Canada, we don't bother with elections, we just elect people who will sleep with hockey players. Is it a better system? Hard to say, but it's certainly about as effective.

In any event, you're probably wondering just what the hell this has to do with the Sonics. Well, skeptic reader, supersonic.com is currently running a poll to name the GREATEST PLAYERS IN SONICS HISTORY.

Up first, the pioneers, the Sonics who put in the time and effort to build a team that would, well, most likely move to Oklahoma in a couple of years. Sigh.

Let us know who you think merits a vote. Personally, I marked my ballot for Haywood, Wilkens, and Downtown Freddie Brown, because, well, anytime you get a chance to vote for Fred Brown you should just do it. Honestly, Bob Rule deserves it more, but unless his nickname was Bob "Cool is the" Rule and I wasn't aware of it, he's not getting my vote.

The (Grass) Roots

So, not much to report from supersonicsoul land. But there's plenty going on with our hard-working pals at Save Our Sonics & Storm.

As you may know, these folks have been a presence at the last Storm games, the Sonics Legends Tour events, a KJR fundraising thingy, probably the Seahawks and Huskies games too. I have been helping out, as best as a hermit can, on the promo side by creating signs and stuff for them to hand out at games and PR events.

I haven't been able to see the signs "in action" myself, so when I saw the following pictures of SONICS LEGENDS holding them I was knocked out of my socks.
(horked from kjram.com and sonicscentral.com):




Dude, the way I freaked when I saw these, you'd think they were pictures of me throwing an oop to Kemp in the 96 Finals. This might be the closest I'll ever get to that.
