Christmas Day game

Anyone else going? Runyon and I will be decked out in full Santa gear.

Nationally televised holiday game means we've gotta bring the Rip City attitude!

I'm taking sign suggestions now. Anyone know where I can find a decent Santa suit on the cheap? I could rent one, but I'm planning on spilling beer on myself at some point.

Unable to go

But will be watching on tv. Kinda sucks, I'll be out of town. Could try to sell my seats, but would rather find someone that can't usually can't afford to games to give them to. Any suggestions?

P.S. Good luck with the sign and suit.

I'll be there...

...with my wife and folks, the latter of whom I'm sort of dragging along.

The one thing that sucks is that I bought tickets through the Blazer website a couple months back, as soon as they went on sale, only to find the Blazers sending out e-mails for "Buy one ticket, get one free" now (and the one you buy is at a discounted rate on top of that!). Could have saved a bundle. Oh well. It's still gonna be rockin'!

When feeling discouraged about the Blazers' learning process, just remember that at least the Jail Blazer era is over.

for sure! Probably stinking from the skiing I'll be doing, but definitely there.

A wink is the same as a nod to a bat!

Santa Squad

5 rows back behind the visitor's bench.

I'm working on integrating our 12 active members into the 12 days of Christmas, but that's tough to do on a sign.

Well, I've got one

"Outlaws a'Leaping" for Twelve Lords a'leaping and "Greg-freakin'-Oden" for Five Gold Rings.

Work with it...

we could all pass them out and you could signal to start singing and we could all join in.

that would be awesome.

Natch

This is knee-jerk of the top of my head:

On the first day of Christmas Paul Allen gave to me a big scoreboard in HD

Two draft day trades
Three JJ threes
Four buzzer-beaters
Five future rings!
Six Brandons driving
Seven shots a-swishing
Eight Gregs rehabbing
Nine Blazer dancers
Ten Trouts a-leaping
Eleven Sergio minutes
Twelve Aldridge sky hooks
