    I propose this of Blazers fans. Whatever the ratio of opposing fans, be louder. Paul Allen would not want us with our heads down. But, standing tall, arms raised, cheering and screaming the Blazers to a win. Be louder still. Drown out the national tv announcers, drown out all the Lakers hype. Be louder still. For at stake is the future of this team. Lest this season be this franchises last, fight for this team. Fight for this fandom. Fight for this city. Be louder still.

    I won't be there in person tomorrow, but I fully expect to hear the "Beat LA!!!" chants, before, during and after the game coming through my TV screen. My kids used to love to go to Lakers games at the Rose Garden. Even when the team wasn't very good, we had a disproportionate amount of success against the Lakers in Portland. We'd get to the games an hour before tip off and the "Beat LA!!!" chants would already be starting.

    Your best one yet! That one was actually well-written. The short sentences worked well, with good word choice. Use that as your template, change a few words each time, and you have a formula.

    How you not going to capitalize Portland (2nd line, 1st word) while everywhere else is consistent?
