What the hell, T-Bone?
What the hell kind of a PM is that? Why would you POSSIBLY share that with me? Do you REALLY crave attention so much that you "only pretend to be gay"? Do you really crave MY attention so much that you feel compelled to tell me that?
Therapy, man, therapy. Seriously. You got real, serious, no-stevestojan, need-help issues.
That's funny stevestojan

There is a point to this thread? I thought it was another chance to call T-Bone a lazy, good for nothing, whiney, cross-dressing, team-swapping whore....

I actually had every intention of ignoring this thread until someone on our super-secret anti-moron message board informed me that you, little window-licking idiot man-child that you are, were dumb enough to call me out.
But hey, even when people are insulting or mocking you, you're still getting the attention you crave. You must feel awfully validated now to have your existence recognized today.
Quit sweet talking and just kiss him.

Ooops this is now officially the thread for cross-dressing attention-starved team-swapping whores... I'd better dip out....

The Wave: Regardless of claims to the contrary, the very first "Wave," whereby fans form a wave going around the stadium by standing up, then sitting down, occurred at Husky Stadium -- the October 31, 1981 UW-Stanford game, to be precise, which the UW won 42-31 after reeling off 28 straight points to come from behind. Rob Weller, then UW yell-leader and later co-host of Entertainment Tonight, claims that the Wave was his invention. The story is that thw Wave was originally planned to rise from the lowest to the highest seats in the student section and then back down again, but it was found that this was impractical to coordinate. Instead, a left-to-right (east to west) wave was substituted, with the wave then running around the stadium's horseshoe. I personally doubt that the wave all around the stadium was actually planned -- it is much more likely, it seems to me, that the initial plan was the have the wave go left-to-right and then right-to-left within the student section, since one could hardly expect the remainder of fans (in the horseshoe end) to automatically pick up on it. That they did anyway is a credit to the enthusiasm of the typical Husky fan. Since then, practically every other place in the USA has claimed that it invented the Wave
For fuggs sake - like the USA ACTUCALLY made up the wave. Sometimes your nation is pathetic.
The Wave originated in Mexico gaining prominence in the World Cup finals in 1970. It was then used internationally at sporting events (incl. College Football, Hockey and Pro-Football in the US). It was first seen (internationally) in Mexico City in the Azteca Stadium in 1968 during the Mexico Olympics. Mexico's right of ownership was confirmed during the Mexico World Cup two years later. It gained a 'craze' status in 184 when used in the Olyimpics Opening Ceremony in LA in 1984 which spawned the Mexican Wave craze of the 1986 world cup.
Other anecdotal, unconfirmed reports claim that the wave has long been a staple of the huge crowds at south american soccer matches for decades.
Much as I love you guys - America did NOT come up with the wave idea - though they did have a large part to play in drawing it into international conciousness.

Man I wish I could have been there.
Bloody Atlantic Ocean.
Looks like a GREAT day.

what is the point of rankings anyway - they are meaningless....
they only thing that matters is in-division standings and W/L records. I really don't bother with power rankings - they are an exercise in futility.

Do it Do it
I thought it would be an aweful cringe-fest - but it was quite funny.
Dukes of Hazzard would be an awesome movie remake too!!

How about we filter "Trolls" and replace that with "T-Bone"?
OT I am shocked that I did this.
