Awesome!!!

That's way better than the time you won your cell phone at a Braves game. Good job. Wish I could have seen it...

Congrats! Great story. I think Pup is going to be jealous that you won something at a sporting event again.

James, you have shamed me. My attempt at winning the contest at a UNLV game many years ago did not have such a happy ending. But what, I get no props for having been at the Omni with you guys that time?? As I recall, I hit an NBA 3 that day. On my 17th attempt or so.

When are we going to Vegas?

No doubt all the practice sessions on the driveway court, shooting only from the left-hand side, helped you win the contest. Rumor has it that da Bullsz have your performance yesterday on tape. Expect a call!

Fantastic!!!!

That's right, LiAps was at the Omni too. Couldn't remember who all was there.

I'm leaning towards Oakland, since I've been looking for an excuse to check out San Francisco.

I can't believe you got picked at another sporting even AGAIN!! Sheese.. the sports spectuator GODs have definitly blessed you...

Great job on hitting those shots. I would have definitly thrown bricks and embarassed my race.

Did you tell the scouts about our #1 play? It's Brilliant!

James, James, he's our man, if he can't do it... well, there's probably someone else out there who can, y'know, statistically speaking.

If memory serves, the thing at the Omni was the "championship" game in the fraternity intramural basketball season. And I believe that was the same night that Bo Outlaw blew off LiAps' autograph request, saying, "If I sign one, I gotta sign 'em all."

And with all that demand for authentic Bo Outlaw autographs, you can imagine that stampede that would cause.

Yes! The Bo Outlaw incident. Considering I was one of 3 people in the arena who even knew who he was, he had some balls.

I can't argue with your choice to go to SF. One of my favorite cities in the world. If you need recommendations for hotels or food, let me know. If you have time, it's totally worth a night or 2 in the wine country. And getting from the Oakland airport to SF is expensive, but then again, so is gettig from the SF airport to SF. Even if you are gonna do a few nights up in Napa/Sonoma, unless you find a hotel that has free parking (non-existent), I'd recommend only renting a car for the side trip. You totally don't need one to get around SF.

I wanna go.

Wandered over here from why.i.hate.dc ... getting from the Oakland Airport into San Francisco isn't at all expensive if you take mass transit. You just take a clearly marked bus to the BART station near the Oakland football stadium, then hop on the subway to get to either SF or Berkeley. Piece of cake, and only a few bucks ... the only reason not to do it is if you have crazy luggage or the company's picking up the tab.
