TDMMC March Madness - HISTORY - Haka Dance vs. IN-COM-PLETE

[Dave Gray]

Wiki: The haka is a traditional Māori dance form. The use of haka in popular culture is a growing phenomenon, originally from New Zealand. Traditionally, haka were used only in Māori cultural contexts, but today haka are used in a wide range of public occasions to impart a sense of importance of the event.

For over 100 years the All Blacks have had a tradition of performing a haka before games (see Haka of the All Blacks).

A number of sports teams outside of New Zealand have adopted the haka, most notably the American football teams of University of Hawaii.

Wiki: A home game tradition (carried over from the original Mile High Stadium) is the "Incomplete Chant". At Bronco home games, when the opposing team throws an incomplete pass, the stadium announcer will state "Pass thrown by (the opposing quarterback) intended for (the opposing intended receiver) is..." at which time the fans complete the chant by saying "in-com-plete!". This is followed by the "sad trombone" sound effect.

If Haka Dance doesn't run away with this, I'll be surprised.
