Copycat

I don't know how many of you guys are Washington Capitals fans, but I have been for the past few years before they even got good, so I don't like to consider myself a bandwagon fan. I think it just lucked out that they started winning games when Ovechkin came along. Anyways, I'm from Northern Virginia and we get radio stations in the Washington D.C. area and one in particular was DC 101 with Elliot in the Morning. I listened to him every morning on my way to high school and even my freshman year at community college. When the Caps were on the verge of making the playoffs, the show would have people wait outside and come in to get mohawks as they were airing the show to imitate one of the players, Mike Green.

So as I was listening, I decided to become a true follower of the team and decided to join the "Rock the Hawk" cause my senior year of high school and I have been doing the same thing every year since. Unfortunately, now we watch the games while we are drinking and whoever is cutting my hair always screws it up. The good thing is that more people started to follow this trend recently and you don't feel like the idiot with the mohawk walking around campus.
