During my long, involuntary hiatus from the Internet, I became a bit...well, obsessed with the Memphis Grizzlies. Those of you who follow me on Twitter probably noticed. Having absolutely nothing to do, I needed something to cheer me up, and damn if they didn't do the trick. Dad and I have gone to occasional Grizzlies games for the last few years, but this was the season when I started doing my homework and paying attention and annoying anybody who will listen.

So now that I'm back on LiveJournal, of course I have to make a ridiculously long post telling you everything I know about my new favorite team. I wanted to get this done earlier, but haven't had a chance. As I type this introduction, I'm about 3 hours from going downtown to meet Dad and go to the first pre-season game, but we're still a week before the regular season starts, so I guess it's good timing.

So sit back and read on. I'll try to make this as painless as possible.

The Future
The Grizzlies have a squad of young, talented, hard-working players and a whole city of fans. We're gonna win it all. It's just a matter of when.
