Rethinking Orrange

My last blog was bemoaning that the Orange in my wardrobe was running into Basketball season.  And we all know what Orange means during Basketball season.

But do we know what ORRANGE means in Basketball season?  Next year, we are going to find out!

I must admit to being a fan of basketball names so when I first heard of Amber Orrange, it stuck in my mind.  Now that she is coming to the Farm, I guess we will all have to adjust to having a little Orrange in our lives.  I know I will be ready!

Orrange you glad she's coming to Stanford?

Getting My Orange On

Something very strange happened this year--you all know what it is.  The Giants, yes our Giants, won the World Series.  I am pretty sure it is because I watched almost every game plus Kayla threw out a First Pitch, so that sealed the deal.  For a lifelong fan, it was absolute KISMET.

But I must say, this exhilarating run has put me into quite a quandry.  I have noticed that quite a bit of Orange has been sneaking into my wardrobe.

In Baseball, Orange means everything Giants, at least as far as I am concerned.  And since the Giants are usually done by early October, I can safely put my Orange away before Basketball season.  Because we all know what Orange means in Basketball Season and I don't like to touch the stuff.  But with this run, the seasons have bumped right up against each other.  So please forgive me if I wear just a little Orange as the season starts--I promise to snap out of it soon!

This was an almost perfect year of fandom--National Championship game and a World Series victory.  I'm thinking that this Bay Area Magic just might continue into 2011 for the Cardinal.  Anyone up for a parade?
