The Sights and Sounds From The Fun Philadelphia 76ers 2024-2025 Season Opener
Last night was one of my favorite nights of the year and one I have been looking forward to since last season ended — Opening night for the Philadelphia 76ers.
Obviously, it did not turn out to be the night that we all hoped for in the end when it came to the actual game, but the night was a fun one overall.
Unfortunately, the 76ers fell in their season opener to the Milwaukee Bucks by a score of 124-109.
Although it was a double-digit loss, it doesn’t really reflect how close the game was for a good portion of it.
The Sixers actually had the lead after the first quarter and hung around close most of the first half, but the undermanned team let the game get away in the end.
As we all know, the 76ers were without two of their All-Stars — Joel Embiid and Paul George, though we hope to have both back on the hardwood soon.
Our other All-Star Tyrese Maxey led the team with 25 points.
Other Fun Things At The 76ers Season Opener…
Now that we got the actual game out of the way, let’s get to some of the other fun stuff!
First off, everybody in the crowd got a free t-shirt.
And they were cool this year — check them out!
Plus, We had a very special guest bell ringer to get the crowd excited before the game and trust me, they were excited.
The sold-out crowd went crazy when I announced Saquon Barkley was going to ring the bell for the first time.
But the fun didn’t stop there — one of my favorite halftime acts was also in the building.
The Red Panda is always so fun to watch.
Oh, and I can’t forget to congratulate my pal, Tom McGinnis!
Tom began his 30th season as the 76ers play by play announcer for the Sixers Radio Network on our sister station 97.5 The Fanatic.
Now that we got the first one out of the way, let’s continue the fun season ahead!
My 25-Mile Bike Ride With Casey Boy Preparing For Ben To The Shore
Casey Boy, Pattyann, and Myself
Here’s a selfie Casey Boy took on our ride. It is of Casey, Pattyann, and myself. What a great crew.
Selfie on the Bridge
I took this during our ride. I’m not sure how I kept my balance! Just ahead of my leading the way are Casey and Pattyann.
Casey and Pattyann on the Bridge
Like I mentioned in the photo above, there they are leading the way. It’s a tight bridge like many down the shore. Luckily, we all managed to make it across.
Welcome to Town Bank
The first sign you see in Town Bank. Apparently, it is the birthplace of the South Jersey. I wonder what it was like in 1635?
Willow Creek Winery
Outside the beautiful Willow Creek Winery. What a cool sign. We definitely needed to check this place out on the ride.
The Whole Winery From the Outside
The land the winery was on was beautiful. Look at those flowers! The property was huge.
Inside the Winery
You know we had to make our way into the winery! Riding on the bricks was not as hard as you would think. It was even cooler on the inside.
The Crew in the Winery
You know I had to grab a group picture inside the winery! I am actually wearing a jersey from a previous Ben To The Shore ride! I wonder what this year’s will look like?
The Group
Just a group of people that love a good bike ride. I know we all can’t wait for Sunday’s ride. Hopefully, the weather is as nice as it was on this day!
The Map of Our Ride
The map of our 25-mile ride. We covered so much ground. It is nuts looking at it in map form!
