Those of you at the game on Saturday who sat on the visitors side or the bleachers (or who saw us on the jumbotron in the last minute or two of halftime) maybe have noticed the “Oderick’s Crazy 8’s Crew” sign hanging in section 530 — I take some credit for that one.

My friends and I have always wanted to make a huge banner. We were thinking of ideas when someone threw out the possibility of playing off of Turner’s number, 88 — thus the “Crazy 8’s”.

The Specs:

• Length: 29 feet
• Height: 3 feet
• Letter width: 3 inches
• Letter height: 2 feet, 8 in.
• Colors: Blue inside of black outline with yellow background
• Awesomeness: Immense

We hope to be in the same spot this coming week, so be sure to check it out.

(Lack of image quality due to pictures being taken with my cell phone…errrg. Next week I’ll have the digital camera with me for better shots.)

After the jump, a look at where to find us and how it was made.

Here’s where we’re at:
