Beard Up Portland!

Fear The Beard Link

I know this is already posted in the fanshots, but I am really curious if anyone on the Bedge is already starting to grow a beard in lieu of Playoffs, Roy, et al. 

Ben! Dave! Are you growing a beard? What about Canzano? JQ? Dwight Jaynes? or even the all mighty Casey? There must be a movement for the Oregonian to beard up!

@hossticles and me (@nateinaloha) are confirmed beard-growers...

 

ARE YOU BEARDING IT???

I would do it if I could grow a little stubble for them!

I'm in

Haven’t shaved for a week and don’t plan on it until we make the playoffs (unless I get a job interview). I look hilariously bad.

I would think it might help a job interview to mention it as a playoff beard

Darn Tootin!

I am not shaving mine until we are hoisting the trophy or eliminated.

I usually only grow beards in winter or for the Seahawks as they are the only team that has had any success in the last few years.

I started this one March 1st for this exact reason. Check it out

OOOOOH!!!!! That was NASTY!!!!!!!!

In case you didn't see..

.. Nate and I must of been on the same frequency cuz we posted similar things at like the same time. If you want to upload a picture of your ‘man moss’ (headshots only please), hit the other thread or direct jump here: http://www.bustabucket.com/forum/portland-trailblazers/497-test.html#500

ehhhh, it seems kinda late to be joining in on the beard thing

it’s only another 2 weeks until the playoffs and we’ll clinch before then…..I probably would have done it if I knew that’s what Roy and Blake (and some people around here) were doing when everyone started. It’s just so close to the end it would feel more like beard bandwagoning

I'd grow one if I didn't hate how they feel

Besides, if I grew one, the Blazers end up going to the Finals and that is way too long to have a beard. I don’t want to be in the position where I’m rooting for the Blazers to lose so I can shave.

by tominhawaii on Mar 31, 2009 7:04 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

i didn't know why i was growing one

i was pretty sure it was pure laziness. the same reason i am a week overdue on cutting my finger nails. but now i finally put together the connection that it is for the playoff push.

go team! go lack of personal hygiene!

Let's be honest

Persuading Portlanders/SW Washingtonians to grow a beard is akin to asking us to like good beer, great coffee, fleeces.

by Griff on Mar 31, 2009 9:27 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Doesn't Roy and Blake plan on shaving once they make the playoff?
Brandon Roy pulled at the spots of facial hair on his right cheek Monday, explaining to a reporter why the strands would not come off until the Portland Trail Blazers clinched a playoff spot.

Alas, I cannot grow a beard.

But I am growing one in spirit. For the team.

I have a wicked ability to grow a beard.

And will continue.

I grow one for the NHL Playoffs

If the Canucks do it that year..

although Roy and Blake are doing it all wrong.. its called a PLAYOFF BEARD.
You start it when you get in the playoffs and you dont cut it until you lose.. hence why when teams hoist the cup they all have mountain man beards!

Other than death and taxes, only 4 things in this world are indisputable:
Brandon Roy is the BEST player in the NBA in the clutch.
Montana to Rice were the greatest to ever play the game.
The Four Horsemen of Maddux, Smoltz, Glavine and Avery were unstoppable.
No one protects the pipes like Luongo.

I was in Eugene last week

and I saw quite a few unshaved women. Do you think there is a connection??

kthx.

I'm 28 years old and male.....

and I really can’t grow a beard. The best I can manage is a mangled, splotchy, near barren lot of a field. I don’t get a 5 o clock shadow, I get a 5th of the month shadow. Sadly, my beard must be there in spirit only.

Yes! Yes! In the face!
