Bill Walton is an idiot... he just said that it is fitting being in the city of last stands and "lost causes".... is he saying the Alamo was a "lost cause"?
Bill Walton is indeed a babbling idiot at times, but I'm not sure that's what he meant. I mean, c'mon, the Texans did lose at the Alamo! Course we won it all a bit later at San Jacinto. Which brings up one of my favorite tangential stream-of-conscious factoids. The San Jac monument was built after a law had been passed saying that no monument could be taller than the Washington monument in DC. So we Texans simply put it on a bigger base, which combined with the memorial is indeed taller!
Sounds like Bill Walton is spitting sour grapes.
It really doesn't matter what follows from that statement. It is a tautology.
