    Could just be the professional panhandlers. Portland has a lot of them. In fact, it seems like just about everyone downtown there is asking for money.

    I laugh at those bankrupt blue states...

    I got my tickets online. How does me standing in line make me more passionate?

    It's a common theme in cities with only one major sport. (Utah, Green Bay, Sacramento)

    I already have the hook up on my tickets. Does it make me less passionate that I don't have to pay for mine, while sleeping outdoors? :p

    Man, I'm bummed. My wife and I were going to try and score tickets to see the Rockets in Portland, but there's just no way without paying outrageous scalping fees.

    Isn't Portland a Mecca for homeless people?? This might be a normal Friday night pic.

    God if only pro fans were as passionate as college fans. Only business majors wear suits on campus.
