Monmouth's Bench Steal The Spotlight For Celebrations

As the college basketball season gets into full swing, one team, unheard of by most, has been making waves for something unusual -- their bench celebrations. This season, Monmouth University's basketball team has pulled out impressive upsets over teams including UCLA, Notre Dame (ranked no. 17 at the time) USC, and Georgetown. However, rather than the team's starters and high scorers, Monmouth's bench players are the ones who have found fame with their over-the-top bench celebrations.

The bench is led by Daniel Pillari, Greg Noack, Louie Pillari, and Tyler Robinson, who meet after team practices to brainstorm new routines. Noack keeps a card with a list of celebrations in his sock that determine what they will do after the next big play.They've become so popular that cameras immediately zoom to the bench after the team scores. The Monmouth bench even has a Twitter account with over 12,000 followers. Former Wisconsin star and current Hornets center Frank Kaminsky III tweeted, "Monmouth's bench mob is my spirit animal." Check out some of this bench mob's most creative celebrations below.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.
