Dan Gross Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 No, just the ijits. 29121[/snapback] So, what, you have to pass a test when you enter the stadium to be allowed in? When is it appropriate to do "the Wave?" a.) when our Offense is on the field b.) when our Defense is on the field c.) whenever I feel like stretching my legs d.) whenever I feel nostalgic about fads that came and went in the '80's. ...or do they just not allow anyone in who's wearing Zubaz?

Mustang Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 It really makes you wonder if people atending the games know what the hell is going on. As I aid in an earlier post- we have lost our home field advantage. The wave when Bledsoe is trying to make a play call?- clueless fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, you have to administer the test at the gate. Then there's always the problem of people who get *more* plastered during the game. There was a guy one section over from us who: could barely walk looked like he had pissed down his leg was trying to carry 2 more beers up the steps forgot where his seats were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanNC Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 This angered me as well. Absolutely un-fuggin-believeable that fans could be this dumb. The players on the sidelines were pleading with the fans to be quiet too, but to no avail. I fuggin HATE the wave. To all fans who participated in the wave at the Ralph yesterday..... :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalkie Gerzowski Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Those airline pilots are right when before landing at the Buffalo airport, to set your watches back 20 years. Surpised no one was doing the "Safety Dance" in the aisle ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvbills Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I'm making a sign for the next home game "Wave on DEFENSE idiots!"....And what's with some peoplle getting in with HUGE backpacks and then some of us having our small fanny packs searched for bottles?? Hopefully Guest Services will be calling me today as I filled out a complaint about all the hockey...cheerleaders...football kids selling candy and pepperoni and junk as a fundraiser. I know for a fact that Hunter's Hope asked to do some fundraising at the Ralph and was told NO!!!!! (and that was both times JK was honored!)

buffalomike Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 first of all.....the wave really isnt that loud that its going to affect the players on the field. second of all.....i didnt participate because the wave is stupid. So tell me who is more stupid.....the people doing the wave on offense or the the offensive lineman taking a holding call on 3rd and 2???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lineman may not have had any other choice but to hold, and he may not have even held. The wave-doers, on the other hand, made a conscious decision to participate in an idiotic act. These are the same people sitting in front of you who decide to make a beer/bathroom run at the exact moment the teams line up for a play, or worse, right in the MIDDLE of a play. If I were running things I would have gates at the end of each row and at each aisle entrance that lock shut except during timeouts and commercials. Imagine the business these guys could do with such a policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VABills Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Info here: http://www.faqfarm.com/Sports/5561 seems to point at Husky Stadium in the late 70's. Oakland lays claim on the first use of it in baseball (1981).... 29506[/snapback] The Wave: Regardless of claims to the contrary, the very first "Wave," whereby fans form a wave going around the stadium by standing up, then sitting down, occurred at Husky Stadium -- the October 31, 1981 UW-Stanford game, to be precise, which the UW won 42-31 after reeling off 28 straight points to come from behind. Rob Weller, then UW yell-leader and later co-host of Entertainment Tonight, claims that the Wave was his invention. The story is that thw Wave was originally planned to rise from the lowest to the highest seats in the student section and then back down again, but it was found that this was impractical to coordinate. Instead, a left-to-right (east to west) wave was substituted, with the wave then running around the stadium's horseshoe. I personally doubt that the wave all around the stadium was actually planned -- it is much more likely, it seems to me, that the initial plan was the have the wave go left-to-right and then right-to-left within the student section, since one could hardly expect the remainder of fans (in the horseshoe end) to automatically pick up on it. That they did anyway is a credit to the enthusiasm of the typical Husky fan. Since then, practically every other place in the USA has claimed that it invented the Wave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
