Did the Coca Cola Bear take some bad meds? :mrgreen:

GO FALCONS!!
SWEEEEEEEEP THE NANOOOOOOOOOOOKS!!!!!
"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second."
~~USCHO Poster
"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

It's fun to watch it live at the arena.
Rather derivative, though - I've seen the same concept with the same music at other arenas and stadiums (stadia, if you insist).
All is for the best in this best of all possible worlds.

All this time I thought it was their goaltender that was their biggest weapon. Now I know it's the exploding polar bear with a rocket-powered ass. You learn something new every day.

A video like that almost makes me glad we don't have any sort of a video board.

Here's a rough description of the sound: part 1: The music the Bulls used to play for their intro. part 2: Highway to the Danger Zone from Top Gun. part 3: Enter Sandman by Metallica.

Add in polar bear growls and roars throughout and explosions when appropriate, and there you have it.

Read the info in the sidebar. This is the one they didn't use. They eventually came to their senses and used one with a song that is totally immune to mockery.
