So I know this makes two sports post in a row for me, but please don’t be mad. October is pretty much the best sports month (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=simmons/091009). My favorite sport is the NBA and thus I love the Memphis Grizzlies. When the team moved here, I was in high school and I have followed them ever since. Because of the Grizzlies, I got to see the greatest player ever, Michael Jordan and experienced many exciting games (I’ve also witnessed several years of mediocrity, but let’s not talk about that…).
Anyways, it’s a new season and hope springs eternal! The Grizzlies made some amazing signings (we will see if they are good signings). Allen Iverson and Zack Randolph will be new players to the Grizzlies who are hoping to prove that they can be good team players. Our core consisting of Marc Gasol, OJ Mayo, and Rudy Gay will be making a huge improvement, and I can feel it, we are going to be great (it’s all that “hope springs eternal” mentality).
So when you are making your evening and weekend plans, remember that the Memphis Tigers aren’t the only game in town. The Grizzlies will put on a show that displays basketball at a professional level. There are several huge games and if you are vigilant enough you can even get some Big Diehl tickets to these games. If you have to pay for yourself, the Grizzlies have the most affordable tickets in the NBA. My Season tickets are only $10 a game. Finally going with friends is the best part. I talked 3 friends into getting season tickets with me this year and they make each game better.
Get out there and support your Memphis Grizzlies. First regular season game is October 28th. If you go, look for me. I’ll be the one who is overly excited and making a lot of noise.
