With all the talk of down time at MBB games, Hilton offers a variety of little pieces of entertainment....frankly, I find some of them highly annoying and it takes the intensity away from me really getting into the game....anyways....vote for the one you'd love to see gone


-my vote was for the hamburger race....i can't even watch it

PS: I WANT THE SHOOT 5 FOR 5 BACK!

I'd eliminate prime seating for students. Stick them in the balcony.



WOW! a risky thing to say on here haha. While I am a student who does have that premium seating... I am not offended. I would gladly take your offer if you and your fellow non students could guarantee to all wear red and stand and scream the whole game.

While money obviously brings players and coaches into the program.....down the stretch when the other team is shooting free throws, i'd rather have students behind the basket

I actually enjoy hamburger race mainly because I'm really sit there and hope that someone takes a fall in the hamburger suit.

I can't stand the basketball dance or the apple shuffle. After 3+ seasons, it gets old. Keep one but we don't need 2. I liked the Apple Race better. So I'm going to vote for the Apple Shuffle to be gone.

Also, I'd like to see the 5 for 5 back as well.

That's about the dumbest idea I've heard yet. Let's get the students are far away from the action as possible and turn this place into Carver Hawkeye Arena! Great idea. :rolleyes5cz:

I think the basketball shuffle always ends up being #2, doesn't it? What's the point? Yeah, get rid of the shuffle(s), and if you have to keep one, keep the Apple shuffle. Having the basketball shuffle just gets redundant.

I'd have to vote to get rid of the apple shuffle, especially when the apples look like pumpkins....:baffled5wh:

How about elilinating the ability to see the court while standing on the concourse right above the parquet. Too many damn people leave their seats at the end of the game and watch from there. They are mostly the old people that wanna make sure they "beat the crowd" and can get outta the parking lot on time so they dont miss Matlock.

I agree that 5 for 5 needs to come back. That is part of "old school Hilton Magic". We will need to find a good Ed replacement.

Replace the students with fans who care enough to attend games. We're only talking a couple hundred students here most games.

If a hamburger race at a time out takes away from your intensity during the game I would question how big of fan you really are??

Why would you want to replace the students who want to be there with other fans who want to be there? Your logic is blurred.

You obviously have some grudge against the students, and maybe something should be done, but this idea is just ridiculous.

I love, LOVE, love the hamburger race for much the same reason as cycloneworld--I hope someone takes a big digger--that's why they wear helmets, right?? Perhaps it is the commentating from Angie and myself that makes it so special, but I would keep it. I do advocate a better prize like actually receiving a gift certificate for a hamburger??

I like everything, but on that list, I would eliminate the smile cam.

Keep the students, actually, find more if you can to fill all those empty seats!:wink0st:
