I don't know how much more of that I can take - er endure...........

Maybe it would be bearable if the music was different/better - or at least the tinny sound system...........

It's so bad it just feels like it goes ON & ON - unbearably long. Look around - people start just looking around waiting for the lameness to end (even the players)...........

It changed from the one that had old highlights (Gary Trent, Sweet 16, etc). You talking about that one or the new one?

It reminds me how great Evan Shaw was at that job when he was doing those.

I agree.

The new music video that is played just before our lineup announcement isn't very good. The highlights are okay, but there is no build up. There is no hype up to it.

I think all they have to do is change the music and add a few Russ snippets?

Bang! It needs to be something done to hype the crowd. Prior seasons videos have done this well IMO.

Ditto. It's awful and embarrassing. The only good thing about it is there are often people standing in front of it so we don't have to see it.

Some of you will remember when the lead-in was the Bobcat racing down 33, ending up plowing through the Miami banner, or when the Bobcat started out at the College Green and ended up at the Convo? Those were unique, exciting to watch, and pumped up the crowd.

I loved that video. I think it should be used during MAC play occasionally. Because it was animated, it didn't look as grainy on the video boards as some of the actual video does either.

I don't think the current guys are any less talented or have any different abilities or vision. I got a feeling they ran with something that is not working but have not adjusted yet. Could have happened to Evan just as easily and may have early. Evan is talented and i love his stuff but let's not sell the talent we have in place short. They are very good.....and extremely unsung.


never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I think all this does is outline how much Ohio needs some new video boards/scoreboards in the Convo...and Peden for that matter. If the video was clearer, it would be better. I was sitting courtside and it looked terrible.

They usually produce a new video for conference play featuring highlights from the same season's non-conference games.

I would love to see an updated version of the bobcat blasting through billboards along the highway, P.O.D. and all. I would also love to see the old version if it exists online anywhere.

Young Mike Tyson didn't need an intro video. Just some black shorts, black shoes, and sometimes a towel. Then he knocked your ass out.



Save the intro videos for Miami and Akron. Everyone else, let the band play something inspiring.

Sometimes I wonder about this line of thinking. Short of playing Stand Up and Cheer, which they already do, what is the 110 going to do that's going to get The Convo "pumped up"? I'm being serious. I think sometimes we're asking for too much 110. I think they'd be better than the current videos for sure, but in terms of getting people excited, primarily the remainder of the students in the building, the 110 isn't the answer in my book. For timeouts, however, I'd like to hear the 110, but I want to hear music selections that's consistent the the pace and energy of "Long Train".


The answer, and some may disagree, is a real pre-game music/video combination. The music should be the same thing every single week. The lights should go out. A spotlight should be on the home bench. Maybe have green lights flashing on the roof of The Convo. Above all, it should be LOUD enough that I'd have to raise my voice to talk to my neighbor. Before you poo-poo such a concept, remember the idea is to create a loud, exciting home court atmosphere. And not just for "big games", but for EVERY GAME.

Anyone remember how the building absolutely rocked from beginning to end for Ohio vs Akron two years ago? Not only should that be the goal for all home games when students are here, IT SHOULD BE THE EXPECTATION.

That said, it starts with music that engages the most folks in the building that stand up and make noise. In general, those folks are students. So the music, and the pregame video should be chosen to be in the students wheel house, not the wheel house of folks who are my age (nearly 40) or nearing retirement. That means modern hip-hop music, rock music, or whatever fits the students. I'm not a music aficionado to know specific songs, but O-Zone leaders are. Grad Students working the games fit that too.


Here's an example from a couple years ago that is INFINITELY better than what we're seeing and hearing right now in my opinion:

http://youtu.be/6Y943vmwdEM

And Here is a piece that someone did as a follow up to the 2010 season that would also fit the line of thinking I'm describing:

http://youtu.be/z1bqGSSKS08


The stuff that was done in the prior 3-4 seasons, other than the limitations of audio and video quality, was very good I thought. The bottom line to me is that there is room for improvement in terms of things that could be done that create a game day atmosphere that really engages fans. They just sent out surveys about football after the season. Why not send a survey in the middle of the season and ask about some of this kind of stuff?



Afterthought:
Another thing I remember being done in an arena that has gameday atmosphere mastered was at UD Arena. They played "Shout" during a TV Timeout. Fans of all ages were up and singing and dancing. I'm talking half the arena gang. I was 20-22 at the time and was impressed. We could do that too.

AD = Athletic department. I asked several people in the AD if they would post it online. The closest thing I go to a "yes" was, "Oh, THAT video. (exasperated sigh)." Some thought it was embarrassing.

Oh, it was Schaus's department, too.

Before we play any music loud we need to buy new speakers. The current ones sound like a Kenner Close and Play.

Fair enough. Lights out with a video is a few minutes where I get to sit down and relax, or hit the concessions, or make sure my kids have what they need, or maybe hit the bathroom. Of course, I'm old.... and no fun.... But, I do stand and cheer during games....
