Re: Pre Game ritual

We've got a couple of traditions on Team 1114. The first is the "Ric Flair" chant. It's something that I've always done, that's caught on with the entire team. After I'm finished giving some sort of speech, I'll yell out "and in the words of Ric Flair..." and the rest of the team and myself respond "wooooooooooo". This past season it was led by Derek or myself before every match.

The other tradition which is only really done when I'm field coaching is my bird impersonations. It's one of those wonderful things that you really need to witness to understand, but they're quite accurate impersonations... Kacaw....
