Press Pass for the forum

[SlyPokerDog]

Denny and I are working up a proposal to have a permanent seat for the forum on press row. Before we go to the Blazers and ask for this we want to get some feedback from all of you.

Some of you are excellent writers and very knowledgeable. Would you be interested in ever representing the forum, sitting on press row, giving us live updates from the game in that night's forum game thread and then doing a write up/report of that night's game?

The Blazers might read this thread so lets keep the replies a little more on the serious side.

 

[BlazerWookee]

Yes, please.

I don't want to go first, though, I might screw it up for everyone else, lol.

EDIT: I'd even swear to do it sober...

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

How about we just sit there, take selfies on our IG account all game long?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

If I can make it even once, that'd be a great way to cover the game. Totally on-board.

 

[PDXFonz]

I would absolutely try it at least once!

 

[Sedatedfork]

I would love to, but I live in Seattle. Maybe when the Blazers play the Sonics? .... Oh nevermind....

 

[illmatic99]

I couldn't do this unfortunately as I'm not in town, but if POR sponsors my league pass broadband for the year, I can watch the other team's broadcast for every game and give the outsider's perspective in game threads.

Maybe throw in tix for me to go to the POR games in Indy, Det, MIL and CHI??? #notdesperateatall

 

[illmatic99]

Seriously, though. This would be a great idea. Maybe do a rotation of writers for the season so it doesn't get stale and more people get a shot.

This is what we want to do. Get a group of people and rotate them.

I think that's a good idea. Will they have access to the site's twitter page to do live tweeting? Or maybe email the twitter account holder to provide pseudo live tweeting?

 

[Denny Crane]

My objective would be to form a writing team. We all read and write a lot on this site and it's mostly about the Blazers. Some of our best posts are certainly on par with what the pros get published in the newspaper. Whatever we write could end up in the Blazers' game programs, on NBA.com Blazers' site, and so on.

If this takes off, I'd be willing to bring up a sister site that's blog oriented to show off our work.

I can get into more depth about how this would all work, but I'd like to know that there is sufficient interest first.

I can provide you access to the official RipCityTwo twitter account, you can tweet on that and the Blazers can retweet the posts. They do that to many of the tweets I put on there now.

LET TRILLBLAZIN LIVE TWEET THE GAMES. :MARIS61:

 

[illmatic99]

One of the main aspects this person should bring is writing from the Blazer fan's perspective. I don't care about rationality-- we get that from the local and national writers. The other thing is transparency. If there is an obvious issue wrong with Terry Stotts' decisions, call it out.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

I'm in.

Yes, please.

I promise nothing.

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I would love to have the opportunity to do something like this, even if only a single time. I don't claim to be particularly insightful, but I certainly would be both reasonable and honest, as well as family-friendly.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

This is a pretty great idea, definitely some unique writers here

 

[Natebishop3]

This would be so awesome! What a great idea! I can't wait for this to happen!!!!11!1!!!!!!!11

Can it happen for road games? I'm going to the Celtics game in november

 

[blue9]

Yes.
(I can be more verbose, if needed.)

 

[OSUBlazerfan]

Yes I'd be interested/excited about this. I wrote sports back in my college days for the Daily Barometer.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Could they be non biased, or would it have to be fluff since we represent the team?

 

[Strenuus]

I'd be down to do it at least once. My schedule is limited this term (At school/work 12 hrs a day 4 days a week) But a weekend game I would most certianly do it. Count me in.

 

[Boise Blazer]

I hoping to come to PDX for the Nuggets game (and maybe the PHX game a few days later) in March. Would love to do it then

Color me interested.

It really must be non-biased IMO. But you would have to give two positives for every negative. ;]
