Actually I wasn't depressed before I watched that, but now I am. Nothing like a stroll down memory lane to help remind you what could have been.

i think one thing that isn't the same is the fans. i mean when i go to the games now a days, i sit up stairs because i can't afford the seats down stairs and i look down at the guys down stairs and they just sit there and show no reaction. i look everywhere and its just not the same. we need some verterans. i want webber back, i want jackson back, i want hedo back, or scot pollard man i mean, i want somebody from the good old days. man, don't worry everybody, j j redick will save us. lol.

I WAS in denial, now I'm sobering up from 6 years(not counting this year), but 6 years of joy, bliss and emotional highs, no matter how much we choked. Even though we didnt win it all, it still was probably the happiest periods of my life, seriously. I'm born and raised here, and going through 14 years of losing, then 6 years of winning and upswing...and now to go through the losing again...kinda like losing your first girlfriend, in a way...maybe even harder. The Kings are Sacramento...I dont need to say anything else, I dont think. I just hope we can band together as fans, and hopefully keep the faith, and have a team even here a few years from now. If not, my heart will have a part missing.VF21 said:
Circa - I think you missed the context.
and my response:
My denial is about agreeing with piksi that things are going to get worse before they get better.
Although the excitement, etc. of the GOOD YEARS (1999-2003) was wonderful, the happiest period of my life was when Gregg Lukenbill came on TV to announce that his group had purchased the Kansas City Kings and were actually truly honestly bringing them to Sacramento. That...and the first time I stepped into Old Arco.
Those were the happiest periods of my life, at least as far as being a sports fan are concerned. And while I think it's gonna be tough for a while, I'm not about to give up on this team. I can't. I bleed purple...
GO KINGS!!!!!

I'm with you, believe me, I'm with you. And much like yourself, I to can pretty much remember every little intricacy with this franchise since it came into existance here. I remember how happy I was even as a 10 year old watching the very first Kings game, against the LA Clippers, Halloween night 1985. I remember going to my first Kings game that year against the Blazers, we blew a 25 point lead and lost, but I didnt care. Man, 21 years later, and hopefully for 21 more years after this, as long as it's Sacramento...I will always bleed purple. Sorry, I'm waxing in memories too much again....I'll try to control myself.VF21 said:

As I was driving home today, switching back and forth between the Kings game and the Raiders/Chargers game (I'm actually a Niners fan, but it's football), I realized by February I won't have the NFL to dull the pain of a pitifully mediocre Kings season.

me too! Loved the clip, but boy it left an empty feeling in my heart.
Seriously, though, whatever you think of Webb's ability, or of the trade... I miss the personality and charisma he brought to the team. Bobby too. It was so nice having players that would talk & inspire you. Players that believed so much that they made you believe...
Well, now that I'm caught up in what we had, and what we lost, I might as well go watch the CWebb tribute again....

I know -- I actually couldn't do it. I thought maybe I was down enough that it couldn't get worse, but I just couldn't watch it right now. I just didn't want to end up a sobbing mess right before bedtime.

I'm right with ya, its hard enough just watching Sportscenter and seeing him on Philly. And now having to watch Bobby light it up and give the Grizz the same spark he gave us...damn, it freaking hurts.love_them_kings said:

I know. And I want so badly for him to do well, but that somehow makes it hurt even worse! I really thought that after the heartbreak of last season that by this season I would be recovered & unemotional... but when you replace what we had with what we've got, well, it just hurts.

Btw, I love the above credo about Bonzi, VF. Can we have Bonzi start at all 5 positions? Starting at PG-Bonzi! Starting at SG- Bonzi, Starting at SF-Bonzi!, Starting at PF-Bonzi! And Starting at C- you guessed it...BONZI!!

That lineup just might inspire me to do a tribal dance of thanks outside of Arco.

Nice!! Or...just for kicks...we should get a bunch of guys that have the letter 'B' in their names, and call them the Killer B's, like in Houston.*L* It would at least pass some time. We've already got: Bibby, Bonzi, Brad....VF21 said:Actually, Bibby, Bonzi, Corliss, Garnett and Skinner wouldn't hurt my feelings.
