    Portland Steelheads would have been better.

    Nothing really, its just kind of an easy way to quantify all basic white yuppies in the Portland Suburbs. The name of the city is kinda funny sounding so its easy to use.

    Dropped. The. Ball.

    Should've went with Portland Growlers, because drinking a growler of a select Portland microbrew while watching could have had actually made it enjoyable.

    Fair enough, but I'm pretty sure Tualatin has one of the larger Mexican populations of the Portland suburbs. I just moved to Wilsonville a few months ago and it's way more white here. I would think Lake Oswego represents the white yuppies much better.

    You're thinking of Lake Oswego. Tualatin is a wannabe Lake O

    I told my friend (a Duck fan) that Darron Thomas was on their roster and he wouldn't believe me. Took him a while to get over that one. Good thing I didn't tell him he wasn't even starting.

    There's already a Portland Steelheads. They compete in the United States Australian Football League.
