GSoM All Over the Map!

by Atma Brother ONE on Apr 23, 2007 9:37 PM PDT in Hype Comment 15 comments

GSoMers were humming and coming in on all media angles last night in Dallas. This sign got some air time on TNT, FSN Bay Area, and KTVU Channel 2:

While the Mavs' fans were walking out, GSoMers stayed to represent.

The Dallas papers couldn't get enough of Warriors Nation either [Star-Telegram]:

Road Warriors

Not everybody wore Mavs blue and green at the AAC Sunday night. A half dozen or so were spotted wearing Warriors wear.

Ricky Martell of South San Francisco accepted a job transfer here with Bank of America just two weeks ago.

"I'm a huge Warriors fan," said Martell, 23, now living in Uptown Dallas. "I'm the envy of everybody back home."

Seated beneath the Budweiser sign behind Section 101, Martell held up a sign that read: I'm Just Happy To Be Here. Go Warriors."

He paid $150 for his ticket on goldenstateofmind.com.

Across the arena sat fellow Golden State fan Zeb Benbrook, 16, of Oklahoma City. He wore a No. 31 Adonal Foyle jersey.

"[Foyle] doesn't play much anymore, but he's my favorite Warrior because he's a nice guy," said Benbrook, who was dropped off at the AAC by his mother, Doris, who then took daughter Katie, 11, to Medieval Times for a show.

Stephen "Action" Jackson after the game:
"Yup, GSoM is UNSTOPPABLE BABY!"

Thanks for front paging this Atma!

It means a lot to me. I'm glad to know that you don't hate me...as much as you did before.

Anyway, as a side note, the Diary is MUCH more readable now, so everyone should want to check it out to see the Photos.

With his past behind him, Adonal looks toward the future, wherever it may be....

btw

btw, isnt it just the coolest thing how "google" is now considered a word. mainly verb: "i'll go google it" but also as a noun, though that stiill kinda refers to the company: "i'm gonna use google" its sorta sad, sorta funny, and sorta cool, lol.

I'm jealous of you, mdg

Life must be fun when basic English grammar is so ... new. People have been "verbing" nouns for forever -- e.g. "Baron can ball," "Biedrins can board", "Foyle got benched."

Brand names becoming common nouns is nothing new either. Here's a partial list -- feel free to add:

Google
TiVo
Kleenex
Q-Tip
Frisbee
Slinky
Boomerang
Saran Wrap
Xerox
Post-it
Wite-Out
Jacuzzi
Band-Aid
Tupperware
Zip-Loc
ChapStick
Vaseline
Aspirin

atma

listened to your work with the mavs moneyball guy on the radio show, great work. you know your stuff, and its good for basketball fans who dont know about the warriors to hear you speak about them so intelligently. i say this b/c the tnt guys hasnt seen a warriors game since run tmc and have no idea what the warriors are. the national audience is really missing out and every little bit of the truth thats out there to be found helps.

go warriors

Thanks for the love

Imagine my surprise to see 15 minutes of print-fame on the front page of GSOM! I can die happy now ;)

I also made it onto KPIX the night of the game as well (my brother saw me), AND the local news out here as well. Their questions ranged from "what are you doing here?" to "you don't really think you have a chance, do you?"...

STILL, though...I'd give it all up...the fame of the written media, the glamour of television...to be there at the Second Coming of the Playoffs to the yay area. That is going to be the loudest arena, bar none, of the entire playoffs. I've been to regular season games at the Oracle more poppin' than the mavs game. So what's the deal they're giving out yellow tshirts? Some one snake one for me and I'll get them back!
