I mean i'll be the bad guy who calls it stupid but it really has nothing to do with the university, the football program. 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.

After 5 years, we're still talking about it.

That means something.

GO BULLS!!!

Jesus, can we let the Flamingo, die its natural one legged death? Why is this even a topic here?

Bill, it's scary how much we are agreeing these days ...

out of the 15-20 people on a message board who have opinions about it, only about 5-8 seem to like it enough to care to buy them. just sayin.

Not many traditions @ USF...why not carry on a dumb one and see where it goes. It would be great to see a few of these in the stands on National TV. Then, who knows, it might catch on.

When I was in school, the kid down the hall from my dorm room got so drunk one night he **** his pants. Just because my friends and I still talk about it years later, doesn't make it a tradition. Sorry.

^^^^This and the fact that it would educational to see if a tradition can be started at USF by the alumni, students, fans vs. some marketing intern over at athletics.
