ATTENTION PONYFANS - Please bring your "A" game with cheers and chants tonight as NIT rules prohibit some of our usual game presentation elements.
We can't turn off the lights for intros, no on-court promotions, no giveaways or t-shirt tosses, no halftime acts and more "neutral" music.
FANS SUPPORT IS CRUCIAL TONIGHT!

in other words, the NCAA does not want anyone to have fun. At least they didn't take our beer.
Thanks for letting us know SID
GET LOUD PONYFANS!!!

I understand the NCAA takes away a lot of the fun, but I do not understand why they would have the top seeded team host the game if they cannot treat it like a normal game. Can someone please explain their reasoning behind this?

Can the Lobster perform?
Note to Lobster: Don't mean to put any additional pressure on you but maybe you can perform a Lobster-dance in the stands for us all during some of the breaks.

NO T-shirt tosses???
Hope LB can come up with a new game plan before tonight..
But seriously, can you imagine an NBA game (Mavericks) with none of the theatrics going on at every break in the action?

It's not a sellout - yet. Take this as an opportunity to bring your friends who couldn't get into Moody yet b/c of the six straight sellouts - $10 is a steal.

If you don't like this, don't ask who gets to keep any revenues above the cost of running the event.

So the NCAA shafts us and then tells us we can't even have any fun.

Do we get to play our "coming home" intro video, or do I need to have it cued up on my phone to set the mood?

This is the lamest thing I have ever heard.
This is NOT the tournament (think we are all aware of that) - can't believe we have to pretend its a neutral court when the thousands in attendance will be screaming for the home team.
Unbelievably stupid rule.

Does the NCAA have their own tourney to mis-manage?
