OK, I promised this explanation last night, and I think as this thread wore on some of it got self-explanatory, but I will give a cliff notes version of some great, unintentional mojo (the best kind).
Pull up a chair, crack a rolling rock and allow me to relate to you "The Ballad of William Shea" :
It all started last Thursday against St. Joes.
We had a rough start to game, St. Joes looking like world beaters. Not but 6 minutes into game a thread by a person who had not posted here much at all (thats OK, everyone has to start somewhere) appeared at the top of our board:
The title of the the of the thread?
"No D, Heartless and Gutless"
You may read the thread and William Shea's initial post here:

It is required mojo reading. He bragged about how he had it in his bracket.
Obviously most people seeing this thread at the time hated this post with a passion. It was 6 minutes into the game! People were up in arms.
Well, as I sometimes do when I see such a ridiculous post I answered it, not with a post of my own, but an over the top "copy pasta" (many here probably dont know what that is, there is a link in the thread above explaining it).
In this case I used the famed "Navy Seal" copypasta. The irony is that after 3 minutes I actually edited my post and removed the copy pasta thinking that it would probably go over the heads of many and thus be taken as mean spirited and inflammatory. However I noticed that users Bryan Lord and Phillionaire at minimum knew what it was right away. Phillionaire in fact not only recognized it, but quoted it and then added the "Hank Hill propane variation" of the "Navy Seal" pasta. (as an aside: well done, Phillionaire!) So now even though I had deleted my Navy Seal copy pasta, Phillionaire had already quoted it and it was there for everyone to see.
William Shea took that copy pasta as serious and in the patented self-serving blowhard way that he is quickly becoming an instant boneyard legend for challenged me to a 50 yard run with the implication that he is tougher than a Navy Seal (namely, me).
More hilarity ensued as he tried defending his initial post.
Meanwhile as all this was going on, our beloved Huskies sacked up and got 'er done against St. Joes.
It was just beautiful mojo as recognized by many longtime posters in that initial thread.
After beating Nova, esteemed 'yarder prankster recognizing the amount of unintentional mojo surrounding William Shea after reading that Mr. Shea will be at the Garden Friday, asked if he had a smartphone so he could make more dumb posts from his seat to keep the mojo running.
Well in his typical fashion, Mr. Shea answered " I will be in Section 106 and I have TWO Smartphones"
In this thread:

More hilarity ensued.
Mr. Shea has continued to make some incredible statements since then (including two beauties in this thread) and all of them bring the laughs (and some incredible mojo along with it).
With the combination the jurrdges Senhor Testiculo decree and now William Shea, I can see us beating UCLA's winning streak. Ride, Senhor, Ride!!!
