one team did this Haka war dance up to the 50 yard line and then their captain stepped across, grabbed a hand-full of turf, threw it up into the air
Wow, kind of like a Ray Lewis with a Polynesian slant to it. Woulda like to have seen that.
I don't know about a pre-game on the field, though. We get to the game site at least 1.5 hours before kickoff and for the early season games, I have my crew there 1 3/4 hours early. This way you can get all the talking and crap out of the way, get dressed and do a proper pre-game, then have a little time left over to collect your thoughts and walk out there.
Once we've examined the casts, talked with the coaches, briefed the chain crew, and spoken with the clock operator, then we get into 'hurry up and wait' mode.
