SOS!!! (that’s Save Our Sonics!)

June 4th, 2008 · 5 Comments

If you haven’t already heard, there’s been a battle waging in Seattle for the last few months over whether a cowardly, out-of-town redneck, riding on the coat-tails of his wife’s riches can steal another city’s pro basketball team. A team with 40+ years of history I might add.

At the Sonics last home game of the season the entire crowd was chanting “Save Our Sonics!” at various points in the game. Towards the final closing seconds, with the home team up by a few points and a rare victory within grasp, the chat filled the entire arena. Here’s the audio from the upper level:

    If anybody’s interested, I have about 10 minutes worth of audio from the game. I listen to it ever so often to keep the hopes up… hearing the crowd roar makes my day. -b

    Can you post all the audio you have? And do you have any audio / video from when they announced Gary Payton and everyone gave him a standing ovation..?

    Thanks.

    Been slammed with work–will try to post the full audio shortly.

    Go Sonics! Which I mean, ‘Stay Sonics!’ really. Sorry for the confusion.
