    I see we have some recruits who will be attending today. It would be nice if it was packed and loud.

      I could better put up with the lackluster media timeout promos, if we could bring back some of the entertaining half-time talent. Nothing against our cheer/pom teams, but that doesn't do much for me every game.

        When does the marching band make its debut? Canned music sucks. Let the band(s) play; let the cheerleaders actually lead cheers; let the dancers dance; have all the commercial "promotions" at halftime and leave the timeouts for cheering , enthusiasm and fandom!

          I’ll be there. During intros I’ll be one of the 10,500 trying to figure out if I should clap to a beat I can’t decipher, or swing my cell phone light to a beat I can’t decipher. After each starting player is introduced I’ll do my best to hoop it up, even though the only reason I’ll know a player was introduced is because Don Hall, doing his best Peanuts teacher impression, has stopped making indecipherable noise for a sec.

          Should be an awesome 50-ish minutes of actual game and related, surrounded on all sides by an hour and ten minutes of #facepalm.

            The intro video music is not good. Period. It really depresses me that this can't be done better.

            And why can't we go back to Wolfmother for the team entrance? Something that rocks? Please? Please? Something!

            As someone who runs a studio and produces the Talk Angry podcast I'm in complete agreement about the intro music. Our crowd is easy to get hyped up if you know what to look for in a song.

          I believe the debut performance is scheduled for Saturday, December 8th, at the Women's game against Creighton. Probably will serve somewhat as a dress rehearsal.

            The intro video continues to be one of the worst I have ever seen. It's really hard to come up with a video that hypes the crowd less.

              Despite all of the deficiencies with the production, at least it was a sellout, as it should be. Nice going Shocker fans.

                The music is the biggest fail on that video. There’s no beat to clap for then the music(?) continues for player introductions. No one participates.

                  The flashlights are the F’ing problem. You can’t clap and hold your phone up. Dumbest idea...

                  Very good point... thought it was ‘corny as hell’ the first time I saw it.

                If the athletic department does read this site, like a lot of people imply, then it's even more douchy to not even adjust with the suggestions and complaints that have been made.

                But it'll catch up with them sooner than later.

                  First time catching the vid prior the team taking the court for pregame warm ups (always running late it seems). Music still sucks for that one (somehow?), but that video and it’s content is first-rate. Put THAT video as the intro video, and put some clappable music to it, and it would be crowd energy gold.

                  But, yet, it is all so hard to figure out somehow.

                  Somehow.

                    That music rocks, but i agree with the rest of your comments. Way better than the pre-line up video.

                • #41
                  The pre-line up video is lame. Hard to get the crowd fired up with players dribbling, smacking the ball and mugging for the camera.

                      I had not made it out to a game until Baylor... my that video is indeed terrible. I have been to high school games with better intros. Jeez Wichita State - get it together.

                        All you gotta do is change the music. Yeah, the video shots could be better, but it's the music that totally kills it. Literally hundreds of cuts that would make that thing work. It ain't that hard.

                          It's like whomever picked the music was trying to be so hip and cool with a music selection that they forgot the PURPOSE of the track in this instance. It needs to have the pulse of a haka - not slow but not too fast, the tempo of a heart pounding at about 90-100 bpm. And like a haka, the tune MUST BRING ENERGY. And if the goal was to NOT seem like it is a copy of someone else, like Shocktoberfest said, there are hundreds of tunes that fit the bill.
