I just think it's funny we had a huge thread on WF prior to the first game and NOT ONE was seen at the UTC game. Would have been a great place and time to start if it was going to take off.

I'd buy that on a shirt... since this is being described as a "TBP tradition" I will have to order one for the next game.

Especially Miami.I put them down right after I shake some Amdro ant bait around my digs. Haven't had an ant bite since I started that tradition.

WF might have been borne out of similar circumstances as other silly traditions, but the fact it didn't take off when it happened (in 2007) means it didn't work. Time to just enjoy what we have until something is created or borne out of an organic process. Aren't some of the "Random people on a message board" students, or past students? I'm not saying yea or nay, but the "a tradition must meet a certain standard" argument is flawed in it's nature. True. Ok, in other words, this didn't take off when it officially started, so it shouldn't be forced. I've looked up a lot of big traditions, and many of them were borne out of a big event (bigger than someone beating someone else who was bigger than them), and the student body embraced it immediately and it became a war cry or a tradition throughout the school, not just one sport. Heres something to burst your bubble... I didn't start the War Flamingo back in 2007. I was already out of school and working. I just heard about it(on the other side of the world btw) and ran with it! Bought one, and the next USF game I was able to go to(I believe it was the FAU road game in 2007) I brought my first one. I will continually bring the flamingo whether some of you like it or not. Its never going to die for me...I had heard the story on facebook...then actually saw it on my streamed WVU game(when moffit had that pat white pick-six) and it changed me. That Ben Moffit interception alone was the birth of the War Flamingo... Onward WAR FLAMINGO!!! LETS SEE THEM VS RUTGERS!!! GO BULLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a superstition at this point and was initially created as parody to the war flamingo. If you want to be a follower of such a ridiculous thing than so be it. It makes no difference to me but I call it like I see it. You won't see a flamingo near me, and you won't be hearing about the war flamingo years from now.
