36'ers

*I have no idea who this guy is


There's sad news unfolding that my beloved Adelaide 36'ers may not be allowed entry into the "new" NBL unless they can get a guaranteed $1million in the event they hit hardship. That seems mental and if one of the league's premier teams can't provide that backing then the whole league should just shut shop. It would suck to see the team go, but the league has become a bit of a joke and unless this new league brings major changes, maybe it's for the best. If last season was the end of the 36'ers, here's some of my favourite 36'ers memories

*Watching Game 2 of the 36'ers v Tigers in 1994 when Davis was out and we were considered goners on a tiny portable tv at Broken Gum

*Seeing Acie Earl's first game in Adelaide with the Kings. He was a beast, just a tad lazy though.

*Sapwell's 3 to take down the Hawk's in 1999. Gary and I were there



*Being there for the 2nd Championship win

*Being there for Game 1 of the year we beat the Pigs in Farley's first year. Farley had his way with Scotty McGregor several times.

*Going to my first game in years this year to see Julius Hodge, only to discover when inside he was holding out and would not play for them again.

*Being there for KB and Darnell's first game.

*Mocking Phil Smyth's substitutuon patterns

*Watching the many rookies who got garbage time only and were never seen again eg Blake Truslove
