Hi Terry--

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. This all sounds completely fine to me. You can go ahead and inform the Wikipedia folks.

Thanks!

Matt

I'm looking to use some of the content from the MMB website to

expand/create a couple Wikipedia articles.  I'm specifically looking

to use the MMB history copy.  There are a couple of other items like

the notable apperances.  If this sounds OK to you please let me know

and I will direct the Wikipedia user that posted the copyright 

violation your way.

[edit] Back Bend

The back bend and visitors fight song are done to opposite directions. The visitors sit on the south side, and thats where the fight song is done. The back bend is done on the north side of the stadium. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.227.233.54 (talk) 01:28, 9 January 2007 (UTC).

I have made further clarification to this section of the article. The back bend is done in the North end but the DM starts by facing south (or back towards the band). The DM then bends over backwards so as to face the North end of the stadium. Also, the DM doesn't always perform the back bend without a hat (see 2004 photo) Terryfoster 15:16, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
