I’ll admit, I’m still in a bit of aw over this Tifo. Very impressive stuff. Here is the video of it going up last night. I swear I’ll have some actual posts up at some point today, or this week (its an international week on the calendar so I’m taking it a tad easy).

I’ll get into the USOC final at some point today, I think. But I had to post this first. Just absolutely amazing Tifo from the Seattle crowd last night. (H/T to those on Twitter posting this…there was a couple of you)

There are only three weeks left in the 2011 regular season campaign and 12 teams are still vying for seven remaining playoff spots.
