Two weeks ago, Blazer’s Edge had a poetry contest inspired by author Mark Plumlee’s elegy for departed forward Mario Hezonja, with all his endearing foibles on full display. The piece inspired many verses in the comment section, all of which are worth a read. Thank you to everyone who added their creativity to the project.
One reader, college student Conor Bergin, went a bit farther. On his blog, The (Temporary) College Dropout, he detailed his love for the Trail Blazers, held tightly despite a relocation to Chicago, Illinois, land of the Bulls.
