War Flamingo Returns?

You can't possibly be serious comparing this to GB Cheeseheads. Anyway...

The number of people who complain about it is very small. The whole situation is small. If not for the threads on the Bulls Pen it would have been gone or never existed in 2007. Most of us just say -- "hey, if you like it - you do you". We had better head wear over the course of our football years-- the plastic viking horns were popular for a while. The hard hats with the horns were made pretty popular by Mutt and Art Jones et al. I think there was a fake inflatable cow head thing for a while that never really caught on. There was a guy who tried his best to get USF fans to partake in the Mr. 2 Bits cheer. There was the whole Tamplona thing that sort of died off. Remember the time when Grothe sported that Grohawk? We've had lots of attempts to get there but nothing has really stuck or spread-- nothing like the Cheeseheads.

I think most of us just want there to be more fans in the stands however they want to represent. If this war flamingo thing is your deal-- more power to you. No one is stopping you. I just don't see it having the impact some might think it has or will one day become. But the amount of people who are on either side of this issue seems way overblown by the supporters mostly.

 

Actually yes - I was seriously comparing the two.  From what I know the cheeseheads started with just a few people with styrofoam on their heads much like this has been.  No way was I implying the flamingo heads to be an established fixture (or even a significant presence) at USF athletics like the GB CH. Nor do I believe they will get to that point.  So if that’s where you think I was going, no.

But I’m sure there were at least a few people that grimaced when they first started seeing them as well.

You really believe that?  The uni's can make a team suck or not suck?  You sound like CCS when he blamed the black unis last year.

Forgot about that. That's probably the second worst excuse I've ever heard from a USF Coach.

Tamplona was the thing that really should have stuck.  It was a genius idea from @E.T..  I know @Triple B agrees with me wholeheartedly.

I'm actually warming up to the whole Tamplona thing .......

Again, I love how some people continue to **** on the potential of new traditions...this is unfortunate due to the fact we have literally none to a few. Who the hell made you the ruler of what should be a tradition or not? In essence no “one” person decides it is left up to the students. If they like the frigging pink flamingos then guess what, they will make it a tradition. If the like the mechanical bull then it will be a tradition. The only traditions I am aware of are the hand sign (copied from Texas) the fourth quarter swaying by the students (which Texas AM does before a game), and the singing of the alma mater after a win (when there is about 25 people left). So let’s add new ones...if no one else does them then that is even better...

I didn't know I did something-- and if I did it was unintentional. Can you clue me into why that comment has more than the intended meaning?

i probably read too much into it, but the whole running of the bulls and bullfighting usually ending with the death of the bull.
