Andrew Bogut's Squad 6
On my travels in cyber space i stumbled across this blog entry from FRED BIERMAN of the New York Times about Andrew Bogut and his 'Squad 6' cheer squad at Milwaukee Bucks home games in the Bradley Centre this year.
Have a read.

It actually made me instantly recall those over enthusiastic New Zealand Breakers fans in the stands behind the Breakers bench at Brett Maher Court last Saturday night. And what about that over exubarent chest thumping by one Rick Rickert in the dying seconds of a game that the 36ers threw away? It was like he was going all Mama Cass on us and trying to give himeslf a heimlich!?!?
Maybe Balls should start a Squad 54 at the Powerhouse, Adelaide being renowned as a town full of spazzos who will do anything if something free is on offer, just don't expect me to join!.
If you go on YouTube and put in 'bucks squad 6' you can see what the 100 odd folk get up to during a Bucks home game.
Sqaud 6 must be so well received in Milwaukee, after all it is a city where the NHL ice hockey team is even named after brewers!, they are probably as beer loving as any Aussies.
I can't, however explain the New Zealand fans excitement to be in Adelaide, maybe they were intoxicated by the 'bright lights' of Hindley Street!
