To be fair, this is the same guy that also wanted Dancing Queen to play after victories

Funny you say that to awd

I don’t keep a list around at home of coaching candidates. I really do wish Pollard actually conducted a full blown interview of candidates instead of basically just bringing on TJ, who has failed at UNLV and hasn’t proven himself as a coach. Oh well, you’ll eventually understand in a couple of years.

If he’s still around Alarson might want an autograph

Yep. Troll status confirmed.

Guys, I’m sorry. Jock Jams is never coming back.

I’m not saying Jock Jams needs to come back. All I’m saying is that the current pregame isn’t working from a “hype the crowd” perspective.

 

[Prone2Clone]

Not specifically pre-game related, but I am not a fan of the "turn it on when we need to" Hilton that has evolved. Not nearly as intimidating.

We need the internet drummer sensation! The whole crowd would get up and yell.

Are you talking about the guy they had a haltime a year or 2 ago that was a WTF moment on why we had him? Probably the worst halftime act I've seen at Hilton.

I figured it was only a matter of time before we used something than the 2Unlimited song for the intro but I figured it would be something more modern with a high energy feel to it. The new intro doesn't really engage the crowd that well and when they finally do start playing the hype music before the tipoff it's just an awkward transition. Someone earlier mentioned the lighting, I am still not a fan of the arena lighting being darker the further up you get from the court. It's pretty noticeable on TV broadcasts I think and for as well as our fans pack the place and make the gameday environment one of the best in the country wish that would come off more when there are wider TV angles where you could see we have a packed house instead of looking like seats that are in the dark.

The "rebound!" lady could always start up then.

Yup. Talk about bringing the crowd down, the game against TT didn’t help.

You don’t need intros where everyone claps in rhythm. You’ve been trained like zombies for decades.

Well we do have one of the best atmospheres in college basketball. Guess the zombie thing worked
