March Madness Team Introductions: Team #1

Posted by dsoutham on Feb 23 2010

We’re now less than 10 days away from the kick-off of SI’s March Madness!  And it is time to begin unveiling the 4 teams that will be competing at this year’s event.  When you come on that first Thursday (March 4), you will be placed on one of these teams and compete for points throughout the month.  Then, at the end of the month, the points will be totaled, a winner will be declared, and superiority will be established.  Each day this week, a new team will be revealed.  Without further ado, let’s meet team 1.

Hailing from Bowling Green, KY, and playing in the Sun Belt Conference, this team recently visited the Sweet 16 of the 2008 NCAA tournament.  Supported by its red towel waving fans who loudly sing the uber-creatively titled fight song, “Stand Up and Cheer”, this team is not one to back down from a challenge.  As for the origins of the red towels?  A legendary coach from this program was fed up with the team’s athletic towels being stolen, so he had them made red, and then proceeded to do such things as throw them to the rafters, beat them on the floor, chew on them, twist them, and cry into them.  Do rabid fans need any more inspiration than this?  Not at this school.  No stranger to the big stage, having finished 6th in the 2009 Capital One Mascot of the Year Competition, this team’s mascot is large and in charge…and that’s about all he’s got going for him.  The first team of March Madness 2010, I give you: the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers and Big Red!

    Big Red - i think that’s what we should start calling Canada, anyone, anyone? That joke usually gets a laugh like 35% of the time.

    Also there was a kid in High school who was 6 foot 4, 250lbs and jaaaackedwe called him big red too, ah the glory days.

    Team 1 - big red. Next up - team double mint and team juicy fruit.
