Unofficial petition:

by taurin on Jul 22, 2008 2:27 PM PDT

Greg Oden, please grow a fro and wear giagantic goggles when you play.

The title prettymuch says it all. We want Oden to be a presence not only in the paint, but in the minds of the opposing teams. Just imagine the man blocking shots and dunking over guys while looking totally crazy awesome. I'm taking about rec specs like Horace Grant or Kareem and hair like that one guy from the globetrotters. Lets see it Greg.

I like

Who was that guy that played at Arizona from around 99-02… Loren Simmons? He had a fro, headband, hightop sneakers and striped socks. I liked that guy.

M, period. Fresh, comma.

I liked that guy too.

He was a Dr. J devotee, obviously. His name was Eugene Edgerson. But if Greg is gonna grow a ‘fro, it’s gotta be as big as Oscar Gamble’s.

And a cool guy like Greg.

Really he was all about that look. I wish Greg would do it too
Gene was the man

I remember the good old days. The Rasta Monsta days.

Official Petition:

Greg Oden, please come out in the first game and score 40, grab 30 rebounds, block 9 shots, and then in the post-game interview say you dedicate that performance to all of the people at Blazersedge.com-that’s Blazersedge.com-who did their Oden Minutes to help your recovery along.

We would need like multiple junk drawers

And we’d still have like 1000 fanposts a day…

We’d have to move and make a new blog…just for the old schoolers. Seriously.

Is Darius working with Mike Tyson? I gotta go back and read the

entire junk drawer just to figure this out…lol

A brief moment of "show me the money"?

I would love that

I’m gonna squeal with delight when Oden has his first full grown PLAYOFF BEARD going for when we gettin’ on DEEP into them playoffs.

His hair will be all wild, his beard everywhere, looking like a wild man, just dunking and punking every other big man in the NBA.

NO ONE will be able to match Oden’s playoff beard in the entire NBA. Baron’s too-well-groomed beard is too prissy, Oden’s will be the perfect mix of bushy, scraggly, and awesome.

I want headbands, and playoff beards. Not asking too much.

I thought

Nate banned the headbands.

by usmcr3049 on Jul 22, 2008 3:39 PM PDT up reply actions

Yes

Nate doesn’t like the headbands since he was in Seattle.

Go Blazers.

by BlazersD00nie on Jul 22, 2008 3:47 PM PDT up reply actions

well,

Oden will dunk on Nate so hard in Practice that Nate will have to aquiesce (whatever, like you know how to spell that

Oden is a project

And this is how to spell acquiesce. You left out the c.

Blackbeard

Liked to light little bits of sulfer in his hair and beard to scare folks but that might be a bit much and Adolph Stern wouldnt like it.

Oden

Seriously the coolest Blazer ever, I swear it. He is the man, period, that think he did with JT on the ESPYS was pretty funny! He should dress like that at every game

I'm a metal guy,

Was Greg actually playing the piano? When they had an overhead shot you could see the keys

moving under his hands. I know, I’m gullible.

Actually, Greg said he can play the piano. Who knows for sure though?

I dig the beard, actually.

Anything but that mohawk.
well, I’d take the hawk over a shaved head. Guy’s got too much character for that.

I loved the Fro-Hawk!

Put those BW Goggles on with that hawk, grow out his beard and light some fireworks off in that thing, put him on top of a float in next year’s parade, tie a harness to Blazerfan1, attach it to the float, and have Batum walkin down the street…that’s a great parade…and we will have plenty of tries to perfect this.
