Game presentation turned back up to 11

Postby JasonB » Sat Jan 21, 2017 6:59 pm

What is going on? Last two games are night and day to rest of year. Sure more students but the band is actually miked up properly, music is great, everything at the right lelv. Why can't we do this all year? Do we share that many people with the cowboys???

Jason B - you nailed it amigo. This was a game and presentation that was in all ways beautifully executed.

"I'm coming home" gives us good karma. Sets the tone for the night. Have we ever lost when the ICH intro is played??

One of the reasons we don't have the atmosphere we've had in the past is that only 40% of the gym is filled before tip off. The Introduction requires energy and excitement builds with a full house

The odd 830 pm Wednesday start time will be interesting for vs ECU. Should be full at tip, but then could see people start leaving at the half.

I want to know the reason why the game presentation has shifted up several notches. Are we not paying for the production crew the first half of the season? Do we share so many people with the cowboys that we can't get it right until their season ends? Do we only rent speakers and choose to put the money in when the games are important?

Or, even if it is just that acoustics of the building are horrible when it is half full, I want to understand what is going on. Because it was vastly different from the tip yesterday, even when the seats hadn't filled in yet. SID? Someone has to know. I want to be able to set my own expectations and the expectations of my guests appropriately.

I think this is more of a logistics problem than people give it credit for. Moody garage can be slow moving not to mention I30, Woodall, and 75. Saturday nights should be a bit easier but still. Ive gotten to Moody garage with 25 minutes to spare before and had trouble making it to the seats for tip. They have sped up the metal detectors.

Lets be honest though, the motivation is for big time games and the AAC is lacking now that UCONN and Memphis, the prior name brands, are down. UH cant replace bc of the lack of name brand recognition unless they are top 20

If both teams keep winning, Cincy Feb 12 will be as electric as they come.
