Schedule just released.
http://www.nba.com/hornets/schedule/
This is SAAWWWWWEEEEEETTTTTT!!!!! :D
Last NBA home game was the Jazz, and now the first game back in the NBA has the Jazz coming in as the enemy! I love this. How far in advance will this game be sold out for? Guys, this will be one seriously HOT ticket.
Isn't it? They had to have done that one on purpose. There's also a link on the front page leading to the schedule.
I'm ok with the schedule. We don't get alot of good Saturday games against the quality teams, but we can still pack the arena when they come on Wednesday's. I like that Friday game against Houston and also the Thursday nationally televised against Dallas. Those will be great games to see.
It would be a great time to have that New Orleans Jazz tribute we've talked about here with all the old Jazz players at the first game.
Wow, that would be FANTASTIC!Quote:

Now wheres my flippin' logo? It's also time to clean up the official web site and get all the stuff off of there that doesn't belong if you get my drift!!!
I wonder if the Hornets would think that may steal some of their thunder on opening night. Nahhhh! Why would they schedule it then.
First Game Promotion:
Free Stogies, Beer, and Harvey Bobbles for the first 3,000 coullions. :9195:
Pistol Pete bobbles would be cooool!
Now I really can't wait. I hope we pound the Jazz into oblivion. (Not that I have any animosity left against that particular team :D :rolleyes: :p )
This is great, our new team plays our old team. Someone was thinking.
Wasamatta HF? You don't want a Harvey Hornet bobblehead!!!:pQuote:

It was a really tough decision, but I decided to go for one of my childhood heroes. Also, I figured you would save some of the HH bobbles for all the members of the "clique" here. :DQuote:

Absolutely awesome. This is the best way for us to come back into the league. Hornets-Jazz...after a 23 year "offseason" New Orleans is back...and our first victim is that stinkin' team that jilted us so long ago!
Bring on the Stinkin' Jazz!
I'm sure the Hornets will have something special planned for this opening night. Making sure the Jazz leave without their jerseys might not be a bad idea! ;)
You know, although I think it is awesome to open up against Utah, you would think they would have wanted to "save" that game for later in the season. I think the Utah game would have sold out at any time. Opening night (no matter who they played) would sell out also. They probably should have scheduled someone like Golden State or Atlanta.
I can just hear the "boos" when the Jazz are introduced!Quote:

How loud will that arena be when the P.A. announcer introduces the "Utah" Jazz? I'm going to boo until I'm blue in the face!
Then we bring the friggin house down with the intros to "YOUR NEW ORLEANS HORNETS!!!"
I think the Jazz is perfect as a first game. We just need to make sure we win is all.
I heard the Harvey bobbles really suck. Didn't you see that picture?Quote:

Wow, this actually has me hyped up, just because I know it's gonna be such an electric atmosphere. If Baron's still on the team by opening night, he'll wanna stay after this.
I'll be there helping you out! It will be un-bee-lievable!Quote:

I think this might be a new rivalry started,but if it isnt i want our hornets to kick some "UTAH" Jazz butt!
My voice will barely be back from the Saints/Atlanta game on Sunday, and then I get to go to the arena on Wednesday and ruin it again. We're probably going to need reconstructive larynx surgery by the end of this year.
Hmmmm, with this logo:Quote:

Holy [email protected] I hyped up now.
It's real...it's tangible. We're back in the friggin NBA!
I can't wait three months. I need a fix now!
Hornets-Jazz on October 30, 2002.
I'm thinking we need a countdown-to-tipoff clock somewhere around here.
I said the same thing in a post a while back. We will already be hyped on opening night. I say let's build on it for the first couple of home games. Then give us the Jazz.Quote:

Oh well, who cares now? It Hornets B-Ball time!!!
Great idea! I am sure spongey can do that (Andrus put in one at sr.com).Quote:

LMAO! LMAO! Say-what you da man!
We could bring down the house literally with these Harvey Bobbles. It could become a national craze. :9195:
I understand where you guys are coming from with the "save the Jazz until later in the season" position.
And in future years I think it would be best to put the Jazz later on the schedule.
But in this, our inaugural season, I think opening up at home against the Jazz is the best way to get the Hornets era in New Orleans started. Closure for those of us who were Jazz fans and the beginning of a new era.
It's absolutely perfect in my mind. For future years I agree 100%. But this is going to be some kind of special night.
I bet this game sells out as soon as tickets go on sale.

I am with Slidell on this one. There couldn't be a more perfect opponent for opening night.
Let's send the Jazz back to Utah singing the Blues.
Man, you're a psychic. I was thinking the same thing.Quote:

Hey...I wonder how the Utah fans are going to perceive this game. Probably just another opening game for them. Wonder if any of their fans will make the trip. They might just be in for a little more than they bargained for...
;)
I think you're right Slidell. But, the media will definitely play it up for sure. It will be no big deal in Utah though. We need to win it.
You're probably right. I would guess it is nothing special for them. I would not expect many making the trip.
I'll drop Andrus a note and see if he can import that countdown clock he has over at SR.
This is going to be a spectacular game. I know we are all juiced about it. I am pretty sure that I will be there, so I am stoked. I also think I may be at the game in SLC on 12/12, but I am going to be a lonely voice. Anyone want to make a road-trip? :rolleyes:
I think the Hornets could pound the Jazz as Slidell wishes. The Jazz are on their last legs, at least John Stockton is. ;) The Jazz are in a bit of disarray, but they are getting that guy from Spain, so they do have some young talent.
I agree that this is the way to start the season off for the New Orleans Hornets. Many of us thought this might happen. I think it will help build excitement for the entire season. It would be nice if they had a second date in NOLA, but look for that to happen in a couple of years if the Hornets move to the WC!
Things are finally happening now. Rejoice O'Coullions of the swamp world, for thine hast been liberated!!!:D
:D It will be the day brefore Holloween. It'll be crazy in the Arena. Look for a lot of masks worse than Harvey. They managed to work around Mardi Gras nicely. Mardi Gras day is March 4th. They have a home game the Wed.(19th) before against Miami & a home game the Fri.(7th) after Mardi Gras. Road games in between. Maybe after the Clippers game Monday 3rd, they can fly home & enjoy Mardi Gras day. :confused:Quote:

When I saw Utah @ New Orleans, it made me very happy. What better way to kick off the new franchise than to play the old one. It will be a packed house and very exciting.
I'm upset that NY is not playing NO at any of the times I am usually flying home; but they have some games that I will catch when I am in town.
It doesn't get anymore official than this . . . New Orleans is back in the game!!!!
Last thing I need is to see your sorry bobbling :moon:Quote:
