It’s GO time.

Says it all, doesn’t it?

Greg Oden Part Deux

For those of us here in 1977 and through a couple good runs in the 90’s, the most highly anticipated sports season in Portland in many years begins tonight against the defending Western Conference champs, the Lakers.

Only residents under rocks or living in caves haven’t heard something about Brandon, LaMarcus, Rudy, and the big GO, Greg Oden. Dwight Jaynes previews the season and says this team will put a smile on local faces. I agree, even if expectations are sky-high.

We got a little weary of selfish, overpaid, underachieving, towel-throwing, dog-fighting, teammate-punching, ref-baiting potheads and thugs. So, even if the team doesn’t win 50 games this year, they have already endeared themselves to a city longing for someone to root for.

Before long, you’ll want to download the schedule, and hardcore fans will follow the fan-driven Blazer’s Edge and OregonLive’s Blazer blogs.

And welcome all you Seattle readers. Sorry about you losing your team to…who was it?…oh yeah, Oklahoma City.

    Yeah, it’s time to GO back to the bench. Dear Blazers: get the kid some shoes with better ankle support!
