LMA = Beaver Fan

PrintDidn't see a post anywhere else on here about this, and it's slow enough right now that I think this might be an interesting discussion. Last night our beloved, soon-to-be-all-star, power forward was sighted in Corvallis, on the side lines, with our Beavers.
I remember reading an article on O-Live yesterday about how USC always has celebrities on their side line, and how other programs don't have that hollywood flare. Well, damnit, we had LMA... that's pretty much the coolest celebrity in my book.
Onto the part that relates to our Blazers. LMA has no reason to be a Beaver fan, I mean I know Texas colors are similar, but there has to be another reason. So, I am going to go out on a limb and say that he is embracing other Oregon athletics. And damnit, I am thrilled to hear that. I know we love our Blazers, but it brings me much joy to know that they are learning to love our state back.
In closing, Go Beavs, Go Blazers!

had more info on why/how LMA was there. Apparently he was given the tickets.
lol
Aw, c’mon, don’t stomp on their dreams, man. It’s all they’ve got.
How many Ducks games has
LMA gone to? We’ll take all the pub. we can get! ;-)
My favorite teams are the Blazers and any team that is playing the Lakers.

But by all means, keep on truckin’!
You guys are good.
I’m just pokin’ fun.
Nice to see a Blazer there though.

True
You only need the money of the biggest ego in the state. Congrats…..

He's only the biggest ego
because I’m out of state.
The most amazing thing about my amazing ego is I have amazingly little about which to be egotistical.
The pick and roll this year will emphasize "roll" followed by "dunk", followed by the wailings and lamentations of your women.
When you laugh at my jokes
you feed my ego.

Of course
I thought you were prodding for a little confirmation.

Not really
My ego is big enough I don’t need it.
But it’s also big enough that I won’t complain.

He hasn't been to a Duck game
because even he can’t get a ticket. :)
I bet
they’d dig one up if he wanted one. ;-)

Oh how I hate the Ducks
and their manufactured greatness
Witty Unpredictable Talent and Natural Game
Just waiting for you to bring up the civil war
Oh wait. You already did.
The Ducks greatest victories are over big time programs and excluding Thursday, all the Beavers greatest victories have been over the Ducks.

One might say, then
that the Ducks greatest losses have been to the Beavers?

Nah, I think that might be Indiana or Wake Forest
At least recently. A Pac 10 loss is a Pac 10 loss.

The Ducks should start
by winning a bowl game. Or at least a game in November.
Very few “Greatest Victories” come in September. And who are these “Great Victories” you speak of? Michigan last year? Laughable, they got rolled up by Appalaccian State last year. Or was it the big Houston win?
Witty Unpredictable Talent and Natural Game
Oklahoma a couple years ago?
Not sure Duck fans want to talk about that….

Hm.
I think its simpler than that: Texas fans, OSU fans, Oregon fans, Oklahoma fans, and everyone else in the nation can all gather around the campfire in our dislike of USC.

I take it to mean "rec"
but the person doesn’t know how to spell “rec”

Oooohhhhh
Maybe TiH is Matt from Blog-A-Bull.
I think they don’t just rec because they want everyone to know it was them that rec’d it.
And then sometimes they actually forget to rec it. And that’s really embarrassing if you say “rec” and then don’t do it. I think. Being basically a perfect kind of guy, I would never do that.
But if you say +1 and then forget to rec it, you can pretend that you never meant to.
Or something.
The difficult thing for me is the past tense of “rec”. Is it “rec’d” or “recced” or “reced”?
And don’t tell me it is something longer, because the plural is “recs”, the site says so. When everyone “recs” a post to turn it green, it will say “5 recs”. It doesn’t say “5 recommends”, it says “5 recs”. So all you grammar nuts out there, I don’t want to hear it here.

Are we cursed, or something?
Does the entire SC football team need viagra or something to get it going against teams they’re “supposed” to beat? We cream the “good” OSU, and then get caught with our pants down by the “bad” OSU? The worst thing about it is that we’re pretty much the only team in the Pac 10 that was in the national picture at all, and now that’s probably shot too. So depressing….
WHY DID THEY HAVE TO SAY OSU IS SOOOO BAD! THAT THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF WINNING THIS GAME! THIS IS WHAT ALWAYS HAPPENS….GAAAAAAH!
Possibly the saddest thing about this is that Canzano was in Corvallis while doing his daily BFT, and he mentioned the fact that local OSU fans weren’t going to the game, and that there were like 2000+ empty seats.
Well, hopefully we still have a shot at getting back into the title game. We have to win all of the other games, and hope that the SEC and Big 12 really do hammer each other.
KARMA SUCKS!

Duck Fan was Present
I got coerced into going, as well, but i brought my Duck gear and wore it with pride. Took more flak than all the USC fans i saw! Regardless, i went merely to watch the No. 1 team in the nation and console my Beaver friends during the massacre. I didn’t think i’d be put in the position where i was beside myself in the 4th trying to figure out who i was going to cheer for! Didn’t expect that to have to be a problem. Then consider my next conundrum as i realized that if the Beavers won, they were rushing the field and my ride was going with them. Not having a cell phone on me and not knowing where he lived or parked, i pleaded with him to stay to no avail and was forced to storm the field on his coat tails. For those of you on the field who did double takes at the Duck die hard in the pack, now you know why.
Turn in your Duck gear. You're through.
A real Duck would never have joined a Beav celebration. You could have walked home. It’s only 40 miles, you weenie. Or maybe you could get one of your new Beaver friends to drive you there.

I'm sick of rushing the field/court
It is unsafe. I don’t understand why it is done. I don’t care if ESPN is interviewing the wining quarter back/center at the 50 yard line/half court with fans running all around, I say tear gas them.
I hate it when fans rush the field, just because they beat a ranked team. At least OSU beat the #1 team, but it was a conference rival, and they beat USC at home not too long ago. I hate it when Duck fans do it too.

Beavers are hardly that bad
They lost to Stanford, who they should have beat, no doubt, but it was the first game of the year and we’re notorious for our slow starts, instead of fading at the end.
Penn State is good. Like really really good……..going into that hostile environment was pretty tough.
Beavers end the season with a better record than the Ducks.
The Beavers have the second best record in the Pac10 over the past two seasons, but somehow the Ducks find themselves to be soooo golrious. Their delusional.
Witty Unpredictable Talent and Natural Game
It's called consistency and that is measured in more than 2 season increments
Boise State loss was bad, no doubt, but nobody was exactly talking title aspirations either after our loss to an unranked team. We’re not that delusional.
The Boise State loss isn't a big deal
They’re a good program and the Ducks have some issues at quarter back. I’m not making excuses, and I’m actually happy for Boise State. Upsets happen. I am a firm believer in the team with the experienced quarter back is the team that will normally win the Pac 10. I expected this year to be a learning year for both the Ducks and the Beavers.

He had to hope in a car and drive to Corvallis. I remain convinced that some small part of LMA is a Beaver fan.
I knew LMA had good taste.

It's the Rodgers Connection...
Lamarcus went to high school in Texas near the two Rodgers boys. He was there to support the record holder for most TDs in a career in the state of Texas, Jacquizz Rodgers and of course his big bro James too.
I was there and LMA was proudly strolling the sidelines and was featured on the JumboTron a few times. It was nice to see him be a part of all the excitement Wow…what a freakin great game, better than the ’06 win because we handled the trojans like no one thought we could. Domination on both sides of the ball! GoBeavs!
Just noticed
Lamar Consolidated is where the Rodgers boys went to high school.
Lamarcus…. that’s kinda an odd co-winky-dink.
That makes sense

USC loss...
is Oregon’s gain. It really throws the conference race wide-open; even if the Trojans massacre the Ducks, which I’m fully anticipating, it gives UO some wiggle room. Would sure be a kick if they made a BCS bowl…

Ditto to Oregon State
I’ll let the players on the field decide which is the better team.

i am
a huge duck fan. and i found myself stoked to see the beavs beat usc (helping us) and i think they both have a shot at the pac ten title and think the civil war could decide it. but im counting on the ducks shavin the beavers this year. blount is a train. i hate usc and cant wait for blazer preseason.
I admit
It was freaking awesome seeing the Beavs beat the Mighty Trojans at Reser, but it just goes to show you how, on any given night, any team can win. I’m not expecting us to win out and go to the Rose Bowl, but I expect this win to energize us for what is possible with our guys. I predict a 7-5 season, maybe even a 8-4 season at best.
Beaver believer!
