At The Sonics Home Opener

SEATTLE — I made it to Seattle early Wednesday evening. Got a chance to talk to some sports fans last night and found an interesting mix so far. Some were in favor of building a new arena. Some thought renovations to KeyArena would be enough. Some wanted the Sonics to leave, that’s right leave, just to stick it to Seattle. I talked to a few guys who had absolutely nothing against Clay Bennett and had it out for Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels. I’ll be running around town all day trying to survey the landscape and climate. I’m not that technologically sound, but the goal is to post pictures and video on this blog and NewsOK to provide some images of who certain people are and what things look like. I’ll also try to blog live from courtside at tonight’s game against the Phoenix Suns. The game is on TNT at 9:30, so you can tune in. But I expect the game to go a lot like last night’s in Denver, 120-103. The Sonics are in store for a lot of those this season. More to come.
