My own speculation on all accounts, obviously.

Seems like something an intrepid Taylor Eldridge could inquire about. Being out of town, I am not privy to the game experience, only what I see on TV. It seems like they filter out more of the crowd noise in the sound mix than they used to, but most of the timeouts are covered by commercials.Wichita State, home of the All-Americans.

I completely agree with the initial post. Been a season ticket holder since the early 80's and haven't seen it this boring since sometime in the 90's/early 00's. New sound system a few years back started out quiet, and after enough complaints/suggestions, it got better. This year, quiet as a mouse. Seriously, can't hear the player's names over the quiet background music. The Hats for Heros piece is really cool, but someone forgot the basic, appropriate style of introductions, tell about the person before you mention their name. Once you mention their name, people clap (appropriately) and you can't hear anything else about the person's contributions. Intro video is very weak this year - I used to get goose-bumps during those, this year - I don't really even watch. I texted my brother last night about 3-4 minutes into the game saying it was a weird atmosphere in there, really quiet - just weird. It stayed that way throughout the game. Hopefully, it gets better.

How about going after the advertisers? Is it Emprise Bank that does the kiss cam? Anyone that has an Emprise Bank account write to them saying you will be cancelling your account due to the fact that they did not request that their promotion not be played during a momentum time out? Cancel accounts, go to competitors but make it be known that its because their stupid promotions aren't wanted. Donate .. but do just that ...donate, not purchase a momentum killing segment.

That's dumb. Emprise Bank doesn't control when the kiss cam is used, the athletic dept does. In exchange for money (probably a lot), Emprise gets their name out there, i'm sure the agreement specifies a certain number of times the promotion will be run but not when.

I guarantee that if they really wanted to the athletic dept could find a way to not kill the atmosphere and still give their sponsors the exposure they paid for.Its a good landing if you can walk away, its a great landing if the plane can be reused the next day.

I guarantee you that they would get more out of their marketing dollars if they just requested to use their promotion during momentum timeouts and just put a big sign on the board that said "This timeout and Shocker Sound is brought to you by ....." and just have the band keep the crowd fired up. That would leave a MUCH better taste in people's mouths than supporting something plays slow jams during critical times of the game.

The athletic department should take a trip to OKC to see how the Thunder balance making money and getting the crowd hyped. As stated earlier the solutions are so easy and obvious.1.) The band need to automatically play beat the hell out of you when the other team calls a timeout to stop a run. This should be so automatic that even the team calling the timeout knows its coming. 2.) Kiss cam is fine if we are up by 30 if we are on a run forget the kiss cam and go with the "Get Hype Cam". 3.) If you want to put birthday wishes on the video bored fine but don't need to announce them. Finally the crowd was ready to get loud for most of the 2nd half all they needed was the opportunity. I remember during big games where they used to encourage everyone to stand up and make noise as the teams were breaking the huddle.
