I wonder if this book costs a dime. [via www.theassist.net]

Golden State Warriors and their super fly San Francisco Warriors hardwood classics throwbacks.

New Orleans Hornets and their most fly NOLA jerseys.

Tonight's the night!

Okay I don't think the Hornets will be sporting their colorful neo-retros, but that doesn't mean YOU can't be there tonight 8 rows up to enjoy the fun.

HOW?

Come on now, you know the drill- JUMP!

Still in the doghouse after your partner put you there for forgetting Valentines Day?  Either that or are you still there for giving her a crappy box of chocolates without truffles in it?  

Well, GSOM is here to help you out!  GSOM is GIVING away a pair of lower bowl seats (row 8) to tonights 76ers vs. Warriors match-up.  As Monta says, "give the gift of a superstar."  It's the least you could do.

First person to respond to this question CORRECTLY will receive the two tickets (please post your responses as a comment in this thread):

How many points did Allen Iverson score in his first regular season NBA game? 

FINE PRINT: These tickets are non-transferrable.  This means that if you call them you must be the one who goes to the game.  Also, first-time commentators are barred from participation; we would like to provide these tickets to active members that contribute to the site and help make the GSOM world "unstoppable baby."  Once we have selected you as the winner (or once you have provided the correct answer), please submit your email address to goldenstwarriors@gmail.com so we can email the tickets to you.

Further fine print: GSOM shall not be held responsible for any bad times or worsening of your relationship (friend or intimate partner or family members) resulting from the outcome of this game.  Any problems resulting from this game will be taken up with the Warriors organization.  

Bidding Has Ended!

UPDATE (4:03pm): Longtime GSoMer Rich Twu of Dream League fame (represent!) won with the auction equivalent of a sweet last second jumper. Congrats! We'll be sending $200 to the Oakland Parks & Recreation department  thanks to Rich. 

We're always looking for fresh and innovative ways to use GSoM as a vehicle to empower our local Bay Area communities. If you have any ideas definitely feel free to drop us a line.

-----------------

UPDATE (11:13am): The bidding is currently at $190 with about 1.25 hrs remaining. Don't miss out on your chance to catch opening night 8 rows up AND donate to your favorite charity!

As you all know opening night against the Houston Rockets is GSoM Night 7 [order tickets online] . And as you all know we'll be rocking the flyest practice jerseys ever to grace the hardwood. We'll also be swishing our free throws like Anthony Morrow from downtown.

While Allen Iverson talks about PRACTICE?!, we talk about PRACTICE JERSEYS! around these parts.

But what you didn't know is that you can score the GSoM season ticket pair for opening night AND make a donation to your favorite charity.

Section 107 - Row 8 - Seats 5 and 6 

The golden view from the GSoM seats... 8 rows up!

All of the details after the jump!

This Oakland A's [Athletics Nation] season has not exactly gone according to Billy Beane's master plan. Sure the San Francisco Giants [McCovey Chronicles] are in the thick of things fighting for a playoff spot, but even that can't cure my summer sports boredom. But The National Football League? Oh it's on!

For your San Francisco 49ers fix check out Niners Nation:

For your Oakland Raiders online Black Hole check out Silver and Black Pride:

After the jump I've got some Week 1 NFL picks for you. Make sure to post your picks in the comments section. Why? Well I'll tell you.. after the jump! (Seriously make the jump!)

Tipoff is at 6pm, so hurry!

The fine print after the jump.

REMINDER: Get your YouPreview in by Monday 10/20/08 5pm!

As part of my new cushy GSoM office job I'm in charge of dealin'. Yes, I know that sounds a little shady given that I'm a veteran resident of EPA, but all that means is I'm in charge of holding the contests for the GSoM season tickets.

For the second ticket contest of 08-09 (did you blink and miss the first one?) we're giving away 2 lowerbowl tickets (face value $85 each) to watch the Warriors take on Lietuvos Rytas in the most highly anticipated Warriors preseason game since they served that Turkish beerball team pre-We Believe. I honestly can't give you a good scouting report on this Euro hoops squad, but I can tell you that their dance team's got nothing on the supa-fly Warrior Girls...

Um not even close.
(notice there's no one even in the stands?)

Jump for how to YouPreview the Warriors 2008-2009 season for a chance to win these 2 golden tickets!
