    We are just now building a 600 room hotel so we can have the NBA All-Star game in town. Can you imagine having a Baseball, Football and a Basketball game all on the same day in October?

    What about the plaid sox? I could root for, and wear those. I wouldn't even need to shave my beard or stop waxing my mustache

    Go watch The Battered Bastards of Baseball on Netflix. You should be proud of that shit. It's part of our history and it was awesome.

    Portland Pioneers? That's got some history involved, both with baseball and....history.

    If we are going for LumberJacks to go with the Timbers, might I suggest another logging related name:

    The Portland Chokers

    I've heard that Portland pro-sports teams have traditionally eschewed using Pioneers because of Lewis and Clark College.

    That said, a third-tier college seems like a pretty crappy reason not to use the best possible option for a pro team name.

    I have no clue of what that's about. It might be. I'll watch it and may change my mind. But people act like just because something is a part of history you need to be proud of it. But it's not my history so... :dunno:

    Oh, yeah. I just looked that up. My bad. It appears there's only been a fan base for just over a decade.

    This is all accurate.

    Would I drop the Seahawks if we got an NFL team? Absolutely not. I'd just hope like hell that the Portland team was in the AFC so I could adopt them as a 2nd favorite.
