Emporia State vs Wichita State Game Thread

[shockfather]

As for the batman intro,I think the doctor said it best. Theres no way that's going to intimidate the opposing team...
On the other hand,Coach Marshall's piece was very inspiring...def got us pumped!

How about this for a nickname..Anacreon = Spiderman

I was telling a buddy this morning that I had gotten used to omly having three or four players that were capable of carrying the water. We now have ten or twelve that I know of that you have to guard or they will make you pay.
I also wasn't initially too impressed with A-nac. I opinion changed quite a bit in the second half when I saw him swatting away shots like a madman, grabbing rebounds and putting them back up in traffic easily. We are loaded!

Missouri's exhibition game.

I think our turnout was very solid!

What a joke. I could hear the crickets chirping when I looked at this picture.

Wasn't that game televised?

[ShauXTyme]

The narrated intro was awkward because any/every time you wanted to clap, there was more commentary.

[shockerfan]

The narrated intro by 3G gave me chills and got me pumped. I look forward to that each game!!

BatWu....not good. I would rather have IronWu back than watch that!

[hutchshox]

whats the status of ede?

[ShockerFever]

I think the whole cartoon production thing has run its course. The BatWu failed on a lot of levels. There surely can be a better way of pumping up the crowd before the team comes out of the gates.

I do agree that the second video was good. I think it'll grow on me even more. It is a little different actually having Marshall delivering the commentary, but it's different. And unlike last year, they actually had HIGHLIGHTS in the video. That is always a MUST for a pregame video.

Still, the in-game production is very poor. Like F - poor. The music selections and timing are always off and questionable. There were lots of delays and periods of random, awkward silence, especially before the game. The 3-point sponsorship is regrettably back. That is probably the one thing that peeves me off more than anything. I absolutely CANNOT STAND that cheap jumbled-sentence that Don Hall rambles out at the make of every 3 pointer. It's a total buzzkill.

Again, just a poor production compared to that of the previous administration.

And lastly, the ball bouncing into the ball-holder thing has to go. That was hard to watch, it didn't work, and apparently it failed so miserably that Hall just gave away whatever they were giving out.

End rant.

The UAB game is technically at a neutral site, right? Does anyone know if we'll be able to do the videos at IBA?

[SubGod22]

IBA will be considered a home game for RPI purposes. It may or may not be considered neutral for other purposes

Sub answered the first question. Yes, on the second question, or I'd assume yes, since the intros were played last year for the Tulsa game. Then again, this game is technically put on by an outside promoter, so who knows.. Wow, that didn't help much afterall..
