First a little background if you will allow.
Titan
The mighty Titans were a powerful race that ruled the world before Olympians, in a time of the Golden Age of men. They were immortal giants of incredible strength and knowledge of old religion rituals and magic. They are also known as the Elder Gods and their dwelling place was at Mount Othrys. In Greek culture they were interpreted as personifications of the earth (Gaea) and the sky or heavens (Uranus).
Eventually, a son of Uranus, Cronus, rebelled against his father and won.
Cronus and Rhea gave birth to younger gods, Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, Hera, Hestia and Demeter who rebelled against Cronus and his followers. They called themselves the Olympian Gods, after Mount Olympus which was their main dwelling place.
The Titans were imprisoned in Tartarus after the war had ended. Tartarus is the deepest spot known in the Underworld, where the most evil beings would usually end up in.

Why is this important?
We have Titan in the run. We have team competition. This could and I would say SHOULD be seen as Olympic Game references (as Eagle also mentioned).
god darkness -the Titans were imprisoned in Tartarus. Tartarus,[1] in ancient Greek mythology, is the deep abyss that is used as a dungeon of torment and suffering for the wicked and as the prison for the Titans.[2] As far below Hades as the earth is below the heavens,[2] Tartarus is the place where, according to Plato in Gorgias (c. 400 BC), souls were judged after death and where the wicked received divine punishment. Like other primal entities (such as the Earth, Night and Time), Tartarus was also considered to be a primordial force or deity.
signs hold titan finish- Hmmmm a reference to how the Titans ended up or is it just a HUGE finish for an Olympic Game participant or a large medal count for a country? The Titans were gigantic in size. (Note that Titanic ship came from the word Titan, which might also foreshadow a ship incident like the Titanic).
class score stable bird team competition feel dream- this longer grouping of words indicates a possible inference to the US Olympic team.
shabby works session helped kick crowd disappear -This might have to do with something at the Olympics but it may be day residue. There was a horrible incident which happened at a Snoop Dog concert last night. A railing failed near the stage where the concert was held and the crowd tumbled down to the floor injuring 41 people, 1 critically. If it is Olympics related, a similar incident could happen as the Games have been plagued with shabby work construction.

Have to agree, TB9. This run drips with Olympics references.
I also agree with the "shabby works, etc." run being about the incident at the concert. If it is so, then that makes it day residue.
An idle thought: We've had "eagle" in the run and now we have "titan." Both are names of NFL teams.
