It's a stupid acronym for Get ToGether.
Fairly new to list and I'm wondering what "GTG" stands for?

Good job. I was just going to ask that!
If you need a place to upload them afterward, I can upload them on our server.
Thanks, Kori. Unfortunately, I'm about 300 miles away. I'll be there in spirit...only if Spurs win. If not, I'll be sulking away in email wondering if we've given the Suns new life.
Hey, I'm here LMAO reading the below story. It's a topic for y'all to discuss at Goomba's. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. What a joke that league is. I bet attendance would double at a Spurs minor league (i.e., men's) team.

Cowens Hired
Chicago, May 25 -- The Chicago WNBA franchise announced the hiring of former Boston Celtics great and “Hall-of-Famer” Dave Cowens as head coach of the new team.
“We promised this city a team that will compete with the heart and soul people associate with Chicago. We promised a team that works as hard as the people of Chicago do. I am thrilled that we have found a coach who is the personification of this philosophy,” said team President and CEO Margaret Stender.

Cowens, 57, played center for the Boston Celtics. Although he was considered too small at 6-9 for the position by some critics, the left-hander relied on hustle and heart to help resurrect a Celtics dynasty. Cowens played for 11 years, 10 of which were with the Celtics. He was voted NBA MVP in 1973, was a seven-time NBA All-Star, and led the Celtics to two NBA championships. While with Boston, he averaged 18 points and 14 rebounds, ranking 3 in rebounds overall, 10th in games played and 8th in assists.
“The WNBA represents all that is great about basketball,” said Cowens, named in 1996 as one of the 50 greatest ever NBA players. “My goal as a player in the NBA was not to be the best player on the floor, but to be the best team player. I see that concept everywhere I look in the WNBA. The players move the ball, play intense defense and dive for loose balls. They play with mutual respect, tenacity and high energy.”
Cowens has had coaching experience in the NBA beginning with Boston as a player-coach and then with the Charlotte Hornets and the Golden State Warriors compiling a 153-176 record. He led the Hornets to back-to-back 50-plus win seasons and finished second to Pat Riley in the NBA Coach of the Year balloting after the 1996-97 season.
"The Chicago team is quickly building on the high level of professionalism and on-the-court action on which we in the WNBA pride ourselves," said WNBA President Donna Orender. "The addition of a Head Coach with the basketball experience, undeniable talent and incredible passion for our game that Dave Cowens possesses underscores the Chicago team ownership's commitment to bringing the best the world of women's basketball has to offer to the great city of Chicago."
Doug Bruno, head coach of the DePaul University women’s team, will join the Chicago WNBA team as a consultant. Bruno has coached the DePaul women for 19 years and has helped the Blue Demons achieve national status as one of the top women’s programs in the country. An alumnus of DePaul, Bruno coached the Chicago Hustle of the Women’s Basketball League from 1978-80.
The Chicago WNBA team will begin play in the 2006 season at the UIC Pavilion, located on the campus of the University of Illinois at Chicago and with a seating capacity of 7,500. The Chicago team will be the league’s 14th franchise and will play in the Eastern Conference.

Kori, OK if I get there @ 715ish? Who should we go talk to or should I just go plant myself in a chair?
Go there and ask for Rick (the owner) tell him I asked you to go early and help set up. He may already have the tables moved around and the reserved signs on them. If not, you can help him.Kori, OK if I get there @ 715ish? Who should we go talk to or should I just go plant myself in a chair?

It's all about the 4th Quarter Gloss!!!
We had a great time, and it was double the fun bantering back and forth with some guy from WOAI. The frosting on the cake was definitely the 4th quarter gloss though...i'll let the pictures tell the story on that one though lmao
It is absolutely, positively about the 4th Quarter Gloss! With the Suns going on their run in the 4th, the gloss is, without a doubt, the reason the Spurs were able to maintain their lead and win Game 3.It's all about the 4th Quarter Gloss!!!
