We Need to Email Stricklin

[ArcherSPS]

We all need to email or tweet Scott and tell him the pregame basketball stuff is awkward and forced as 17. On top of that the marketing department does the dumbest **** during the games that just suck the life out of the building. That water bottle game and musical chairs make us look like some A baseball team from Des Moines.

yeah also we have some of the most bland and boring B-ball jerseys.

You email him.
I think it's nice that we tried to do something to interject a little life into pre game. Bully starting the slow clap on the drum was pretty cool, would have been a lot better if the fans had participated.
Loved having the DJ there.

It is terrible

They even screw up the National Anthem.

They generally have someone perform the National Anthem during pre-game. The person that performs is at center court. They have the American flag in the endzone behind one of the baskets. As a result, someone is giving a performance at center court and 50% of the crowd has their back turned to the performer because they are facing the flag in the endzone. It is awkward/weird/stupid.

They should present the flag at center court so the entire crowd can focus on both the flag and the performer. Is this because the state flag must accommodate the US flag when being presented? If so, that is comical. And if so, hang a flag in the opposite endzone of the stadium to solve that issue.

What planet are you on to think any of that pregame stuff was in the same universe as cool? It's so awkward and forced.

If farmland , waffle houses and distractions make that much difference to you mr vanassterbilt, stay your *** at home.

This kinda **** is why I won't be sad when Strick's time as AD is done. All of this in football and basketball is embarassing.

 

[dannyripms]

I remember watching the Bulls intro when Jordan and pipkin was there, the light show and build up was awesome. I'd like to have something like that

Pregame has some awkward transitions that simply don't work.

I'm just glad we finally won a SEC game

[tatedog]

Wonder how long "but Howland hasn't beaten any SEC west team besides the worst Ole Miss team in (fill in the blank with some 3 digit number) years" will be the rallying cry of Ole Miss fans.

 

[civildawg88]

I plan on emailing him as well about the basketball pregame. It is terrible and I'm actually embarrassed when it is going on.

They need to bring this back, yesterday. Best game. And funny too.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

Agree 100%

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

They still do this

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

We need the full court graphics that you see in the NBA

 

[natchezdawg]

Yeah, let's bring Larry Templeton back!!

Some of you people are so stupid.

 

[fishwater99]

They still do this

Saw it earlier this year at a game.

 

[A$APBULLDAWG]

Does anybody even know what the proper response to Bully beating the drum is besides just staring at them dumbfounded? Slow clap then wait another 7 minutes until the players run out?

Very forced and awkward.

 

[ArcherSPS]

Yeah, let's bring Larry Templeton back!!

Nobody is saying that. We are bitching about an obvious weakness our athletic department has. It needs to be fixed.
