I wasn't at the game Friday so last night was my first time seeing the intro. Meh.
The lights off with the ribbon board was really cool. The light "flash" effect went on way too long. The video is the worst part, IMO. The one from the last few years highlighting the history of the program was a lot better
I will argue against that 100% of the time. The videos from the last couple years have been "meh". This year has great production value and is up to date. Decent special effects (except the glass shattering). I like showing our history, but the actual videos from the last couple years looked like they were put together by a high schooler. (I know this because I used to make videos in high school that were better than those).
The combination of the lights off, ribbon board, and the video is by far the best intro we've had. Next step: get the app that syncs with students' phones to get a synchronized flash (as seen in the purdue video) and destroy the jock jams mp3 they downloaded from Napster in 1999.
If we really want to drop some cash, get the 3D court projector like most NBA teams have these days. (that will never happen).
