Just as many thought the Harlem Shake craze was coming to an end, the Gonzaga men's basketball team gave it a gust of relevancy in the Inland Northwest.

On its way back from a WCC championship run in Las Vegas the Zags recorded their own Harlem Shake video with Naismith Award finalist Kelly Olynyk serving as the leader of the shake, (which, if you aren't familiar with the fad, is the guy who starts humping air first.)

"Don't care how late we are, had fun doing that video! lol #betterlatethannever," point guard Kevin Pangos tweeted.

The Zags did their shake on a plane, which has raised eyebrows before when a Colorado State student led the dance on a Frontier flight. The FAA said it would investigate that case, no word yet about the Zags' video.

This year's team is no stranger to the viral video: Guards Kevin Pangos, Kyle Dranginis, Drew Barham and Rem Bakamus made a popular trick shot video that is brought up during most Zag broadcasts.

The loud explosions that scared your dog and may have woken you last night were not a re-enactment of a Red Dawn scene, they were from Gonzaga, which was trying to commemorate its new holiday.

Residents from neighborhoods spanning Spokane called, posted on social media and emailed concern Thursday night about the loud noises originating on GU's campus. Confusion reigned as the 911 center received “just about 70” calls reporting shootings that were later revised to fireworks after officers responded.

“The officers went to the areas that called, looked around, and I can see in one of the officer's comments that it 'was probably just Gonzaga's fireworks,' ” 911 center supervisor David Affeldt said.

The 911 center reported receiving calls from 10:20 to 10:42.

The popular Dirty Dash opened registration today for the 2013 “race” to be held at Riverside State Park on July 13.

Loyalty registration, which runs until Jan. 30, costs only $35. After that the price to sign up steadily rises the closer we get to the event.

“Resolve to make 2013 your dirtiest yet and we guarantee to make that happen for you in one unforgettable morning of feasting on filth, groveling through grime, delighting in dirt, and wallowing in mud rather than self-pity,” a news release from Dirty Dash said.
