$100 ticket giveaway!

Hey - so Coast to Coast Tickets has a Facebook page now, and they're trying to raise awareness for it, so they're giving away a $100 gift card in a random drawing of their Facebook fans on May 4th. Definitely enough for two tickets to the 76ers...

Looking right now, there's only 81 fans total, making that a 1 in 81 shot if the drawing happened today (sure there'll be more when the drawing happens, but still those are pretty good odds)!

Their Facebook page is here:

and they're posting bonus entry codes on their Twitter too here:

Well, we fell to the Bobcats, but here's hoping we pull it out for Wednesday's game against the Magic!

Get out there and vote next Tuesday, November 4th, 76ers fans!

Sixers waive Antywane Robinson

Philadelphia, Pa. - October 20, 2008 - Philadelphia 76ers President and General Manager Ed Stefanski announced today that the team has waived Antywane Robinson. He appeared in three preseason games for the Sixers, playing a total of 15 minutes. The roster now stands at 15.

Robinson (6-8, 220) played all four seasons at Temple University, earning Atlantic-10 All-Conference Second Team honors his senior season. In 116 career games played for the Owls, he had 85 steals to 54 turnovers. He has yet to appear in a regular season game since going undrafted in 2006, but played preseason games for the Atlanta Hawks in 2007. After being waived by the Hawks, Robinson joined the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the D-League before playing overseas for Elan Bearnais Pau-Orthez of the French League.

Wachoviwhere?

All we hear about in the news lately is the economy. It's a mess, no doubt. But let's talk about the real problem it's going to cause - fan confusion. I mean, really, with all these banks dying left and right, what are the stadiums and arenas going to be called? How will I search for the Wachovia Center information I need? Will it be another bank's name? Or will it be The _______ Center? Or, God forbid, might we revert back to something like the 76ers Center? Gasp!

Maybe this will actually be a positive change for the world of sponsorhip and naming rights. The going rate probably just dropped. maybe I'll put in a bid.

We've Got Ivey

Free agent Royal Ivey is joining the 76ers. It took a few days of negotiations, but they agreed on a multiyear, minimum-salary contract. He did great last season with the Bucks, so let's hope he continues to improve on our team.

Oh, did we deny you your tenth win again? Sorry about that...

Ow, must suck to be Miami. Twice in a row they're denied their tenth win... I'd say I feel sorry for them, but I'm just happy to see such a good performance from the 76ers that I'll save my sympathy for another time. :)
