[Q] Its on ESPN2, ya know. If you're home and have just about any form of cable[/Q]

I was working in my office, so I posted the audio link for anyone else in a similar predicament. I couldn't resist, though, so I went home and watched. Great hustle and effort by Wisconsin. I am rooting for one more for them.

[quote Al DeFlorio]Much like a replay of the ECAC championship game--only this time I think the good guys might win.:-)[/quote]

In a game like BC-UND I can predict the good guys will not win because there are none!

[quote DeltaOne81]Time Warp... nice... as if I needed to respect Wisco anymore

Their band was kah-razy! And they had like a row and a half of crazy people (hypothesized to be bandies who couldn't bring their instruments) dancing in front of them. And two poor BU fans sitting with their arms folded in the middle of that.

I noticed all of that. The student sections certainly got into their power-play chant-jumping up and down while singing/chanting. Those kids rocking back and forth had to be with the band. No other fans look that nuts. :-)

The only thing I wondered- why did so many of the Wisconsin fans wear sunglasses? There were enough of them that there must be some significance.

The band played a fun tune that I think our band could borrow. I can't think of it now, but it was familiar to me and would be fun and easy to get into at a hockey game similar to the way we get into Gary Glitter . I will try to notice tomorrow.

By small steps we shall cannibalize the traditions of other bands to create the super-band amalgam. Your repertoire will be assimilated. Resistance is futile. Bwahahaha.

Are you referring to the Time Warp?

Its just a jump to the left...
and a step to the ri-ii-ii-ii-ight

Put your hands on your hips...
and pull your knees in tiiight

And its the pelvic thrust,
that really drives 'em insa-aa-aa-aane

Lets do the Time Warp again...

The bendy thing definitely wasn't limited to the band in Green Bay...though I suspect it's mostly a student thing. We had lots of fun making fun of them two weeks ago

I still wish I had a $1.00 for every pair of the red-white striped overalls/painter pants that we saw in Green Bay. They were awful.

Possibly. At the time I wasn't paying much attention. I just thought to right it in today. The Time Warp is a fun song, so it would be good to add to our set.

The replay they showed from directly overhead didn't show the push because it happened before they were in the frame, but the push definitely happened.

Actually one of the spring '03 conductors bought it for our folder. It's not something we play every weekend, but it comes out a few times a year. We don't play it nearly as... er... enthusiastically, however.

ESPN-U currently has a rebroadcast of the Wisc.-Maine game. It's midway through the 1st right now.

It's amazing how much respect the Wisconsin game has brought us from the college hockey community. Just walking around Milwaukee yesterday, others noticing my Cornell jersey felt compelled to comment about the game. Not only were there the "great game" comments from the Wisconsin fans, but a Colgate couple and a Mercyhurst contingent added comments about how they wished we were victorious. While losing in triple overtime is generally more painful than losing 5-2, this one seems like it has some positive impact. Perhaps it'll help our recruiting that we proved (at least in Green Bay) that we can play with the best.
