Originally posted by amckillip View PostWhere did I say it was to entertain them? I said it was to serve them. And if you one of those people who thinks education happens primarily in the classroom, I couldn't disagree with you more. I was a very good student, but I can tell you now that I learned far more and took more away from my experiences as an RA, as a president of organizations, and going to basketball games, than I did in differential equations, and I use those things I learned outside of the classroom quite a bit more too. And despite what many on here believe, a large number of students are busier than us alum(at least me and my friends were, and for comparison I work 60 a week with and hour total commute each day). While this is simply about a video, the underlying question should be first 'How does this serve the students?' A distant 2nd 'How does this serve alumni?' and then a miniscule third can be 'How does this serve everyone else?.' Now sometimes these decisions can be intertwined, as in serving alum helps the current students, but a modern video isn't going to drive away 'the blue hairs' and it will create a better, more exciting experience for students. So someone tell me again why we wouldn't do that?
I don't see how a video creates a more exciting experience... just wish they had a better intro... BU has long had a problem with student indifference at sporting events.. Basketball included... I would be interested in knowing how many attend events regularly.. softball, baseball, volleyball- all are poorly attended by students- and they are withing walking distance from campus...???We all want Bradley to win. If our methods and visions for that are different, then so be it. Don't ever attempt to tell me I am not a fan!???

After seconds upon seconds of searching my brain, here is what Big Lance has come up with as far as a video introduction to get the crowd fired up before the game. Envision this:
Turn off all the lights, scoreboard is black
Begin playing O Fortuna by Carl Orff
Instantly, a glamor shot of John Wilkins appears on the new scoreboard
Fade that into a laughing Reggie Redbird (of course he's just miming a laugh, you can't hear him over the rockin' O Fortuna and cascading boos)
Splice in very quick, nearly subliminal shots of Coach Mo, Mike Vandegard, Dan Muller, the stolen bobcat and maybe Coleco Buie's game winner at the Valley tournament.
Show the scared, despondent faces of the BU players on the bench with Coach Les and the new assistant coaches 25 feet away drawing up basketball gold on the clipboard
Show Jimmy emphatically imploring the boys to overcome and take this program to the next level
Then as the music nears the end of the song (where it starts sounding like victory) show about 8-10 rapid fire dunks, then the players running up into the crowd at the NCAA tournament, then have all the current players holding up the NCAA regional nets with the words "next stop: The Final Four" at the very end. This should get the crowd pumped up.
If this somehow does not work, then I have devised a surefire Plan B:
Play "In the Mood" by Glenn Miller
Show a live video feed from the club room where the heavies are getting their beers
Finish with video clips of quickchange's 47th annual appearance"That is a dangerous game, friendo" -Kevin Malone on "The Office"

I'm a fan of showing the team in the tunnel before they come out, I think it builds anticipation. I would also like to see more along the lines of tradition and history rather than current players just dunking the ball. A nice mix of both would be good."How do you go from where you are to where you want to be? I think you have to have an enthusiasm for life. You have to have a dream, a goal, and you have to be willing to work for it." - Jim Valvano
