I did kinda think the question about "so-cal patriots" might be one of two things in your mind. . . . a lame excuse for not caring, attempting to argue that since you're not in LA you don't need to. . . . . or a lame projection of disrepute on the So-Cal area. I know this is popular in San Francisco, but I thought Reno was about like "So-Cal" in the eyes of smug denizens of the Bay. I can understand how everywhere in the world "LA" is held in contempt, but Orange County is better than Reno.
Still, all in all, you're head and shoulders above the run-of-the-mill JazzFan because you still have the guts to crack a joke, even with Corbin coaching yet another dismal year. . . .
