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.

Bill Walton is an idiot...

It really doesn't matter what follows from that statement. It is a tautology.
