    That was one of the fun things to root for.

    It actually irritates me.

    Just heard on the radio that some players used to keep track of "Chalupa baskets" and even had a cheesy trophie for the winner at the end of the season. I guess Roy was the proud owner once.

    OK, I just had to rep you for that.

    Back several years ago, I always had a huge wad of free chalupa coupons in my wallet. I used to take my three kids to about 15 - 20 home games a year and it seemed like the Blazers almost always broke 100 points. I won't eat that shit, and my youngest is on a gluten free diet (ironically, they always gave her extra coupons because she's just so damn cute). So, I used to leave them in a pile on a table in the cafeteria at work. I almost felt guilty giving them to my coworkers, but figured they're adults and can make their own dietary choices. Most of them would probably eat that shit anyway. At least with the coupons they saved a little money.

    Well, since it's the MODA Center, maybe they can give out free Fleet enemas every time the Blazers break 100 points.

    So, instead of chanting: CHA LU PAS! we can all chant: EN E MAS!

    Repped. I was thinking the same thing.

    Also, no more jumbo-sized Cokes, and no more butter on the popcorn. Water and various 100% fruit juices will be available, as well as tofu dogs, veggie platters, and your rice cakes for 'dessert'.

    Looking at the firepower on the Blazers' roster I can understand the thinking. I mean, will there be a single home game where they don't break 100? Might have put Taco Bell out of business.

    The Chalupa Chant was a major jinx.

    Hmmm. If they want to play up the healthcare angle, maybe free prostate exams as you exit the MODA?

    I can't believe how cheap Paul Allen is getting.:confused: season tickets go up ad the take away one god damn Chalupa for every 100 pts scored.

    Paul Allen didn't pay for the Chalupas.

    Chalupa is HCP's nickname in the truck. He's leaving for the Lakers.

    No more Chalupas!

    Wonder if this has anything to do with Blazers selecting Moda Center over Taco Bell Pavillion.

    Doubt it. It was a form of advertising/marketing scheme to generate revenue.

    Well I think that he should give everyone a free soft large soft drink or beer for every 100pts they score for the next game you attend with the expiration date till the season or playoff season ends. That might help sell tickets also.
