Squatch up for grabs?

You can edit that ya know. I can’y, I’m still LOLROTFPIMP.

”.....With his creepy erect tail that lurches out from his breakaway pants,....”

That tail reminds me of Ron Jeremy after he tried to get romantic with a brick wall.

Portland is the ONLY home for SQUATCH!

I just posted the same thing, only it had a poll. You beat my by 4 minutes. But hey! As long as it’s in the light, I say we raid the remaining carcass of the team, formerly known as the Sonics, and grab the final piece our Rose Garden Mastery.

Now if we could include Tony Luftman in the Blaze Purge….

at least that was what it looked like in the Garden on the big screen. Blew him up if I remember right…

But if the mascot itself stays in the NW, who cares. Blazers management, that would be another great off-season upgrade to the franchise. Or maybe create a Squatch – Blaze tag team for a year before we make a final decision who has more upside ;-)

And if the nickname for OKC is really the Thunder: That mascot already signed a deal with the Warriors. Sorry, you are late to the party.

allow the sonics to live on… just a little, and might convert some more Sonic fans… And, Squatch is waaaay better than blaze.

...it just seems a little heartless to immediately co-opt Squatch like that.

It’s like an employee just got fired from your office who was a really close friend of yours, and as they walk him out the door, you’re already at his desk stealing his stapler and paperclips.

I mean, really. Hopefully, Squatch will resurface as the future mascot for the Sonics when (if) they ever return. It’s not fair to the City of Seattle to just swoop in and nab their icon. (Unless he’s their head coach, that is.)

Also: As pathetic as Blaze is, he’s at least our OWN guy. Love him or hate him, he’s a PORTLANDER, not an adopted Seattlite. That makes him more of a true Blazers icon than Squatch could ever be.

As a lifelong Oregonian, I’d rather have an original native representing the team, however pathetic he is, than the most polished, loveable mascot from anyplace else.

Jeez.

do you remember when blaze triped on an old lady in the stands and threw the cake right in her face… Im not sure if it was staged, but she was old, and really surprised. Blaze…what a jerk…. it was towards the end of the year….
And plus,,,, Squatch hates the lakers, and stupid laker fans too.

I think he would fit right in.

admittedly staged

blaze is the man

The Blazers had former Blazer center Dale Schluter mascot as Bigfoot at many home games when Squatch was just a gleam in our Bigfoot’s eye! So Seattle ripped us off first. It is only fair that we reclaim “Foot” as we will have a matched set with Oden’s return.

If you look at the Heat, the Nuggets and the Bobcats, they all have a Blaze type of mascot. (Same Costume, different uniform) Bring in Squatch and let us have our NW identity. If the Sonics come back to Seattle, or a new team, then we can discuss draft picks. Until then, Squatch has a home in the Rose Garden.

Or can we just co-opt him?

Not sure I like Squatch that much anyway. They should get a real sasquatch. I like the one in those Jack Links commericals. I wonder what he charges.

but I also like Jack.
My opinions may be considered suspect.

Enough said.

Think about it. We could have Blaze and Squatch fight eachother at the beginning of each game to see who will be the mascot for the remainder of the game. I guess worst case, we could always just bring in squatch for the games we play Oklahoma and he could beat up thier mascot.

............................................ KP is looking for an extra practice “big,” right?

Sign Steven Hill to a six-figure contract as “Squatch” and have him practice with the team to stay in mascot game-shape.

....as Lewis and/or Clark. Give him buckskins and a flintlock….....and a trampoline. Oh wait!!!! .....and a coonskin cap!! This could be the mascot HOF material here

And squach looks a bit like Greg Oden…

As a former sonics fan, i’d love it if squatch found a temporary home down in portland. You guys could have both mascots or maybe squatch could just show up every now and then. If the sonics are ever revived, we’d obviously like him back, but i feel like him staying in the northwest would both be a) Comforting and b) a bit of a “screw you” to clay and co.

Would be the best thing ever. They could even retire Sqatch’s jersey in memorandom of our fallen rivals to the north as they issue him a new Blazer jersey durring the ceremony.

Of course the first bobble head night would have to feature a Sonic jersey before the retirement and later that same year a Blazer jersey version.

However, if the Sonics come back to the NW, they would have to play us for him back :P

There should be a serious grassroots movement to Dump the Cat and Draft the Squatch. Maybe the dude from the Mercury could head this up. I’d certainly do anything I could to support it. I have a serious dislike for the the trail cat, and I know I’m not alone. We need to raise the profile of this issue people, and bring it to KP’s attention. We know KP is a great evaluator of talent, and Blaze is a rediculous concoction that pre-dates his reign. We need an upgrade at the mascot position. We cant have that stupid cat running around the Rose Garden during an NBA Finals series. Maybe KP would actually consider giving him the axe, or sending him to the pound – pick your own metaphor. Let’s just get it done people. YES WE CAN!!!
