    Best of Luck Cappin'....

    Bill Schonely
    Schonely coined or popularized numerous phrases and sayings during his radio career with the Blazers,
    which have become synonymous with the Blazermania phenomenon in Oregon,
    including "Rip City",
    "Bingo Bango Bongo",
    "Climb the golden ladder",
    "Lickety brindle up the middle"
    and "You've got to make your free throws."


    Schonely's best-known phrase, "Rip City", debuted in a game against the Lakers in 1970.
    The Blazers had fallen behind by a significant margin, yet rallied back to a two-point deficit.
    When a long jump shot by guard Jim Barnett tied the game, Schonely blurted out, "Rip City! All right!"
    an exhortation for which Schonely had no literal explanation.
    The Blazers lost 136–114 but the phrase stuck, became synonymous with Blazers basketball
    and even became a nickname for Portland itself.

    Schonely is also known for the opening line of each broadcast,
    "Good evening basketball fans, wherever you may be..." delivered in some variation
    since the beginning of his professional sportscasting career in Baton Rouge
