Please, no dancing
Don't get me wrong, I love fan support on the road. Hell, there aren't many things in sports more enjoyable than going into an opposing venue, having your team win then taunting opposing fans on the way out the door. Really, it's a hoot. However, dancing like this should be avoided. I know the Griz tend to have more fans on the road than any other BSC team so I hope that they don't look like this when they celebrate.
ha i remember this idiot ha.
This "idiot" is a great and loyal NAU fan. He goes to all the home games and sits on the floor paying for premium seating. He goes to a # of away games too, and loves going to the Griz/NAU games in Missoula. Like Colin O'Keefe writes, 'Hell, there aren't many things in sports more enjoyable than going into an opposing venue, having your team win then taunting opposing fans on the way out the door. Really, it's a hoot. However, dancing like this should be avoided." This guy wasn't dancing. He was hooting. But the truth is he was stretching, while yawning after another ho-hum-we beat the Griz again at Dahlberg moment. What a fan. I love him. Oh, did I mention that the hooting yawning, dancing stretching fan is my son?
No, it was dancing. Bad, bad dancing. The picture fails to capture the humorous hip swaying and head nodding that accompanied the fist pump.
Like I said, no problem with going to a bunch of games, especially road games. Hell, I'll probably be sneaking into the UM student section until I'm thirty. I will not, however, be dancing. There's one exception: if I somehow get to go to Flagstaff I will replicate this dance for the home fans after a victory.
Sneaking into the student section until you're 30? Now that's just sad.
It was STAGED dancing. Colin, you asked this guy to do the dance; it was not spontaneous. (You even asked him to do it twice after you missed the picture the first time.) The guy only did the dance for your benefit. I know, I'm the guy. Normally, I would expect more from a site such as this, but then I remembered, you go to The University of Montana
I asked you to do the dance again after you kept doing it during the game's final minute. I missed the picture before because I was watching the game...not doing my best to look goofy.
If you don't think that's the case... go down a couple posts to the twitter feed. Press the down arrow a couple times and it says "over now. there's an NAU guy dancing." If it was staged, I wouldn't write that.
Ahhh, Griz fans can never admit they're wrong. It's an inbred genetic fault. You staged the photo by asking the NAU guy to pose. Nothing wrong with that. But then implying that you caught the fan at just the right dancing moment is flat out wrong. Fess up, Colin
Inbred genetic fault? Wow, mature.
Did you read the previous posts by myself? I asked your son to do the dance again after he was doing it previously. My words: "do the dance again." The above photo resulted.
Seriously, you think I walk up to random opposing fans, tell them to dance then when they for some reason agree to, I take a weird picture? Heh, yep, that's my thing!
But really, here's a post from the twitter live blog. It was texted in a few minutes before the photo was taken.

Come on. Someone was doing a really goofy looking dance, I asked him to do it again once things were settled, he obliged, I took a picture. Now that's what we have.
