      I have no idea why the KDOT is wasting our precious tax dollars in such tough times. You've got to think that they are doing similar things elsewhere. What a waste.

      BTW - Does the kid get anything if he 'wins'?

          Pass through federal funding. If it's there I am glad it's being spent on my alma mater's teams.

              Yep, that's the one.

              Quick Change on the other hand has probalby gotten really expensive since their time on whatever that show was.

                I don't care where the TAX dollars come from, it is still a huge waste. And just how does this benefit the team?

                  That was bad last night... I guess it was in keeping with the teams effort in the first half. I had to get up and leave half way through the "performance".

                  Bring back the college kids playing musical chairs. That was fun and cheap.

                    I wasn't sure where to post this, but this half time show is absolutely amazing! Well done West Virginia marching band!

                    Don't skip any of it, including the very end ... there is a surprise around each corner.

                          Like Wu's post. I've always wondered why the band couldn't provide more of the halftime entertainment. Just like a football game except on a much smaller scale. Instead of paying an outside entertainer, put that money into the band. Increase the size of the band, put them in uniforms and put them on the floor. Basketball is our football.

                            Of course, you are right, BUT still a waste of our precious tax dollars at a time when our government is broke.

                              In reply, see some of the posts here: http://shockernet.net/forum/showthre...after-halftime

                              The band has been marginalized. We used to play 3-5 songs before the game as the crowd came in for the game. But know it is all about marketing and promotions.

                                Not half-time, but advertising related

                                I noticed for the first time that during some time-outs the advertising board under the scorer's table has shown some individual statistics. If this isn't new, then I guess that might indicate how "effective" the advertising board really is.
