    It's okay, but the action should be game footage. Dunking in an empty gym just reminds me of one Dayton did several years ago. I am sure X-Band has it in his files.

    I get why people like seeing old highlights - there have been some awesome moments. Everytime I hear "Crawford... gotta hurry... (weird high pitched gus johnson scream)" I get chills.

    That said, I think this is a good intro video. It feels... modern. Like TuClutch said, the students love it, and I'm sure the players love it too. It's, as the young kids would say, "on fleek."

    I think it would be great as well, but I'm sure the administration is likely trying to do all they can to treat this just like any other game.

    You think there will be X folks monitoring the student section? You think the students have been talked to? I bet they have and stern warnings and consequences have been delivered.

    It sucks, but its necessary.

    Not a fan.

    I cant think of one we've had that I like less actually. Maybe it is better in the arena with the lights off but on here it stinks.

    I think X needs a "this is OUR city" video for after the game
    We've come a long way since my bench seat at the Fieldhouse!

    Not a fan either. Especially when you compare it to last year's video, which was hype:

    I didn't like last year's video at all. The first half looked like it was pulled from the most boring part of a Jason Bourne movie with the camera shaking all over the place but nothing actually happening. The second half, I liked that they projected stuff on Cincinatti buildings, but the clips they showed were fairly dull.

    The players love it and they had fun making it according to my friends who know them. Thats what matters. When theres any question about something or its in the middle of a couple options, the deciding factor will and should be what the players like best

    Sorry, this is waaaay off topic, but anyone know how many seats per row in the lower bowl? I'm shoppoing for tix for Auburn game and have a bit of an issue being too far away from an aisle. Also, if anyone is looking to sell some lower bowl tix (I'm not going that far to sit up top, though I'm sure they're fine), let me know.
