Speaking Of Our Board Name

[ABM]

I like Rip City.

I like Rip City Resurrection better, though.

I dunno--makes us sound like we're always in rebuild mode (which is true, but hopefully ending). What happens after we win our second title? Are we still "resurrecting"?

Also, say we get creamed by the Lakers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. How many Laker posters are going to come on here saying, "You guys are going to NEED a resurrection just to make it to game two!"

Maybe I'm just defensive because I came up with the original name, though, so who knows?

How about "Rip City Rootin' Tootin' Revival" ?

Nice flavor.

I think we need to just forget about the PatterNash era and all the fallout from it. By not having "Resurrection" in there, it ignores that we've been one of the worst teams in the NBA the last five years or so.

We should just EXPECT greatness. And throw out the rest

Great point. And "Rip City Two" is sort of like saying this team is the sequel from the great Bill Walton team. And sequels are always better than the first.

Just like Alien Resurrection.

Now that's a Rip City Revelation!

 

[AgentDrazenPetrovic]

Rip a new asshole in your favorite team City!

"Burying the ghosts of Walton and Bowie."

"Burying the ghosts of Walton and Bowie."

Uh, not so fast there. Let's see if Oden can make it thru a season first.

Here ya go:

Rip City Referendum


..

 

[ABM]

The Warriors announcer just referred to our team's current state as a "Blazers renaissance."

Hmmm....

Rip City Renaissance?

 

[sabas4mvp]

How about Sabonis City? Sounds much better to me!

 

[gatorpops]

How about Rip City Repeat or Rip City Reveal or better yet Rip City Again and next year Rip City Again and Again
