The Victory Tree first made its illustrious appearance in the Spring of 2002. Inspired by the play of SUPAMAN. A group of Greek Lettered Men (Sigma Chi Omega Fraternity; a colony of Sigma Chi) decided that it would be an appropriate place to congregate prior to each home basektball game, so that they could enter the Dee in force and united in their brotherhood. The tree has, at time, been recognized by a purple paw, a W, and a really illegible marking made by bengalhater (he almost got arrested, but then again he was painting in the middle of the day). The tree has been a great spot to tailgate, get the crazies together, and a excellent place to park (great access to 42nd).
The Victory Dew made its first appearance after the victory over BYU in 2003, and since that time the crazies have made speeches after each home game at the tree. The tree has also been the spot where, prior to BigSky Tv and the Alumni Center, the crazies would listen to important games and tailgate.
I'm sure if Nancy Collingwood know about the tree, she'd do everything in her power to destroy it, since she hates Weber State traditions. Just saying Weber is a traditional college doesn't make it so. You have to have traditions, Greeks, Crazies, and DEW!
