SIX FINGERS - Howl-n-Prowl - 03-25-2012 08:41 AM
Lets start a new tradition at NIU to shine a light on the atrocity being committed by the Toledo "justice" system.
At the conclusion of the third quarter of all football games, lets hold up SIX FINGERS - five fingers to salute the victims of 2/14/08 and an additional MIDDLE FINGER pointed East towards Toledo.
At the very least, this should be done at the Toledo game after the third quarter as our Huskies take a 30+ point lead into the fourth quarter.
Let's give the DA in Toledo probable cause to charge the entire football team with sodomy.
TUCK FOLEDO.
GO HUSKIES!

I would be too drunk to remember which direction is East

I don't want the beauty of the 5 finger tribute mixed up with this BS.
I think that when Toledo takes the field before the game everyone on the East side (and West side if you want) turns their back to them. I remember it being done a few times in the early 00's but don't think its been done since then.

Yeah.....no.
RE: SIX FINGERS - HuskieFootball Addict - 03-25-2012 12:38 PM
Absolutely NOT.
Five fingers is solemn & reverent...it's a special tribute not to be marred with anything like this Toledo mess.

In an age of litigation gone wild and when some bruise easily making a mountain of this mole hill with six fingers only gives credence to what seems rather absurd and , of such little significance plus an easy, low key and direct fix.

This would be way too easily confused with us giving steven k the finger instead, could come across horribly.
like the idea of giving the finger to the east though, lol, funny, but just wouldn't execute well. It would end up with everyone on the student side giving the finger to the person sitting behind them. I see some good ol' drunken brawls coming out of this lol
RE: SIX FINGERS - H2Oville Rocket - 03-26-2012 09:48 AM
Had no idea you all did that with the five fingers. What a nice thing to do. If you want to give me the finger why not do it early in the game-sullying something as important as that tradition-well, I can't believe anybody would even consider that. Give us the finger when the bands run off the field or something. We'll all be crushed and hurt by that gesture but we have broad shoulders. Interfering with the other tradition is just weird....

Thought this thread was going to be a tribute to Hound Dog Taylor.

No no no...its the six finger man from the Princess Bride.
"Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father, prepare to die."

Really...the sodomy charge wasn't a giveaway?
RE: SIX FINGERS - beachboy - 03-26-2012 02:04 PM
Boo the hell out of Toledo and leave it at that. Stay reasonably classy, please.
RE: SIX FINGERS - onlinepole - 03-26-2012 04:36 PM
Huskie fans should turn their backs to the band when they begin playing. Or put ear plugs in as they start.

To the Toledo band or our band?
I don't think Toledo's band typically travels to NIU.
RE: SIX FINGERS - zdsmith - 03-26-2012 05:24 PM
They haven't in my time here.
And as far as another finger ontop of the five absolutely not. So disrespectful to those who died.

Correct. The NIU band will more than likely be the only one playing the Toledo fight song. Unless, of course, ESPN allows the game to be played on a Saturday (extremely unlikely).

Well if that does happen, and Toledo band comes. I will get my lawn chair, some beers and wait for the their band to show up, and as soon as they get off the bus, non-stop booing. or maybe I will try to walk through them to get to "where I need to go". Each time I bump into one of them, I will say excuse me, didnt mean to assault you.

insert 'then' after bruise easily and before making a mountain.
