Fraud Noise Meter

[ShockerPhi]

I'm just gonna say it. I said it in a game thread a while back but I'm saying it again because I can't grow up and stop laughing about it whenever I see it.

The air guitar cam belongs on Jimmy Kimmels "unnecessary censorship" bit. It looks like a bunch of dudes pretending to play with themselves on the jumbotron. Lots of hand pumping around the waistline and lots of seemingly-appropriate accompanying faces.

:) It's not the guitar cam, it's the beat off cam. Sorry guys...

Having said that, I hope they keep it forever. I will never stop laughing.

I've noticed the same thing but am just too ashamed to point it out in good company. Quite hilarious.

Last night was probably the first time for many bandwagoners to see promotions in a game when WSU was getting beat. It should remind all of us how hard it is to raise money and sell sponsorship when you aren't going to the Final Four and winning 85+% of your games.

I hate to complain, but the sound meter does suck and if there was any doubt (not saying there was) it was removed last night the 2nd time (first time was great booing lol) it was "turned on" and silence reigned supreme. I laughed.

As @Rosewood: so eloquently said earlier, somebody's got to be able to call an audible.

On a similar note. I will preface that I generally enjoy the "Don't Leave Early" videos, but please scrap it when we are trailing. Who the hell is gonna leave early when we are down 8 with 7:00 to go.

The videos have generally been great. Last night's was terrible! I think I would have felt the same way even if the Shox were leading at the time. Given the fact they were trailing and everyone was pissed, it just made a bad video all the worse.

It was really, really stupid.

Also wasn't a big fan of an air guitar battle while Evan Wessel was down.

This x1000. An utter embarrassment to do something like that when a player is injured and still laying on the court. I thought it was great how most of the crowd (students included) just stood there like "no way am I goofing off while Evan is lying there".

There's enough Koch money. Just stop it with the stupid ass sponsor stuff during timeouts.

Yeah, but in retrospect, it was damn good advice, particularly if as a fan one wants to see terrific basketball and a fantastic comeback in the last 5 minutes, that would not be the case had one left with 8 minutes remaining.

What happens when u employ the sound level meter after a stupid turnover by carter? - sound meter FAIL

I'm so happy to have found this thread! I've been complaining about that horrid sound meter since the first game they rolled it out. Embarrassing!!! We're Wichita State! Not some low tech mid-major who can't figure out how a computer works. Do it right!!!

Sitting next to my buddy last night just as they were starting the video I told him I really hope this isn't a "Don't leave early" video. As you said, why in the hell would you play that down 8???!!! ...and it might have been their worst production yet.

Please someone link this thread to who ever runs our timeouts, they need to understand it's not just a few fans, maybe not the majority, but still a lot of people think they are failing on several fronts.

I don't think we need the words on the board of "you don't want to go to war " any longer. Enough people know them now. If they're not singing, it's no longer because they don't know the words.

The remote-controlled video contraption that they fly around over the crowd is worthless, too. The display on it is horrible. I keep on waiting for it to crap out, fall, crash and burn.

Its a great time to be a Shocker when this is what we have to complain about!! I Know, I'm complaining about complaining which will lead to someone complaining about me.

I can't hold my keyboard tongue any longer. You pansy ass babies who have nothing better to do than piss, moan & ***** about media timeout promotions, zoom cams, noise meters, blah, blah, blah. Stop it, really. Until you go to the concession stand near section 123, put 3 damn good dollars down for a modest size helping of M&M's to find only 9 of the 60 or so individual M&M's are green...then pop off you sissy boys and girls. I mean, really, come on now. We all know what the green M&M's represent. The fabric of our sexual performance is based on the volume of green M&M's we consume. A lousy 15% of green M&M's in the most coveted of all afrodisiac candies. There should be no fewer than 23% of the greens represented...period. I'm pissed. Fear not fellow SN'rs, I have authored a scalding letter to ADES about this issue. I am demanding a better product from our college on the hill athletic department. I'm just going to say I have a feeling that a better effort, as it relates to the green color ratio of all M&M packs going forward, will improve at good old CKA. And you all will have me to thank for it. Your welcome.

Ummm, I had 15 and pretty sure @pogo: had at least 14. Did you ever ... you know ... consider ... maybe ... it's only YOU that ... you know ... got only 9? I didn't want to be the one to ... you know ... break it to you ... but before you send that letter ... maybe ask your bros how many they got. Don't hate the messenger, man. Don't hate the messenger.

Not exactly. @SHOXMVC: tee'd it up for @Jamar Howard 4 President: to explain why there was actually 9.2 green M&M's in his box, and then for @ShockerFever: to explain what he did with JH4P's mom's box.
