In anticipation of tomorrow’s Blazers versus Celtics throwdown at the Rose Garden, here is a very surreal video from the pre-game introductions of Saturday’s game against Toronto.
For some reason there was a large Sasquatch mascot (not this guy) on the court longing for a high-five from the Blazers as they came out of the locker room. Not surprisingly this frightening creature was ignored by the entire Blazers roster, except Joel Przybilla. Perhaps it was fellow ape-like bounding between the “Vanilla Gorilla” and the Sasquatch, or maybe Przybilla just felt bad for the guy.
Whatever it was, just watching this video has made me very happy.
Update: The Sasquatch has a Facebook page!

He also has a blog! http://seski150.blogspot.com/ This looks to be something tied into Oregon’s 150th birthday.
Seski’s blog is stupid. Sasquatches don’t talk like cavemen.
Seski is tied into Oregon’s 150th birthday celebration next year (Feb. 14, 2009). You can visit their web site at http://www.oregon150.org.
FYI, Seski doesn’t talk, but his typing may look caveman-ish (although I wouldn’t tell the Geico caveboys that).
Jerryd Bayless didn’t ignore the Quatch! J-Rex wondered why Quatch was brave enough to be seen near him!
ahh- is THAT what happened to the Sasquatch that was the Sonics mascot! I was wondering where he went! No trees in Oklahoma for him to hide in, I guess!
