This all started with Blair. The field crew has been doing this with him for years. I had the pleasure of being head ref while he was announcer in Portland, and we would feed him lines. I would be sitting in front of him, reffing the match, and he would give out the "phrase" as it would fit in to the situation. He would say a phrase, and we would all crack up while trying to keep our "game faces" on.

One time, he had to say "pork products". It took him 4-5 matches, but a robot fell over and he responded with "oooh, (team name) is laying on the floor like a bunch of pork products" - or something like that. It would've been a qualifying match on Friday, if I remember.

So... I conveyed this idea to Dan and challenged him to do the same. He was up for the challenge in Chicago at the Midwest Regional and it snowballed from there. We would pass notes to him in Chicago, and everyone got a good kick out of it.

Just remember... it all started with Blair. Blair IS the man.
