On one hot night in the summer of 2013, the Ironheads equipment manager Sean "Boa" Gillespie invented the "Seannie Shuffle", in which he danced while wiping the floor of sweat and condensation while also getting players and fans to cheer uncontrollably. "Seannie Shuffles" are usually followed by a lengthy towel wave while full sprinting back to the bench.
