Oregonian Sports: Move to local TV could be the start of Blazers winning back fans

The Trail Blazers' expected return to over-the-air broadcasts will make it vastly easier for fans to watch games starting this season, but the team is also in the early stages of a rebuild that should start resonating with fans. On this episode of The Oregonian Sports podcast, hosts Bill Oram and Brenna Greene discuss why the Blazers got out of their ROOT Sports contract at exactly the right time and why this team could be poised to start winning fans back over. Also discussed on the show: • Is there a trap game on Oregon’s first Big Ten schedule? • Could Ben Gulbranson be the answer at quarterback for Oregon State? • The oddity of watching former Beavers stars become difference-makers for contenders around the country.
