Weird timing for me to think about this

Did anyone notice this season that they changed the diamond vision pregame video to a montage that showed past stars like Mean Joe Green, Abner Haynes and Ron Shanklin, Brad Kassell, etc? I really liked what they did with that and ESPECIALLY liked the background music they used (Won't get Fooled again by the Who)... my only thought is that you should have the music go much louder and through the entire stadium instead of just the video board. I feel like we don't always use the video board to the full advantage, kind of like buying a nice TV but not hooking up the surround sound speakers for it.

Are there even any other viable speakers at Fouts other than what is on the jumbotron? I didn't think so. And when I say viable, I meant "don't sound like crap". Those megaphone looking things don't count.

Does anyone know if that video is posted on Youtube or anywhere else on the internet? I would like to find a version of it.

I preferred the "Thunderstruck" intro by AC/DC much better and agree, crank up the volume. The residents of Krum should be complaining!

Thunderstruck was the best.

Forget Krum, let's make Robson Ranch collectively turn down their hearing aids.

SOUNDS LIKE A JOB FOR SOUND MAN!

Thunderstruck's video also had past players like Greene and Hayes on it.

One of the recent Season Highlight DVDs has the "What time is it?" and "Thunderstruck" videos as one part. I'm sure someone can rip it and split it into the two parts.

Thunderstruck will always defeat me because of that dork at the Mavs games.

How bout Kid Rocks Bawitdaba, sub Mean Green for Kid Rock and you have a bad a$$ intro that everyone can yell along to.

And I agree that the band needs some new tunes. Conan would be good, there has to be some good sci fi stuff that hasn't been tapped. Didnt the Klingons have a tough tune? Or something from Terminator.

Finally...someone who agrees with what I've been saying for 2 years.

Forget Krum, let's make Robson Ranch collectively turn down their hearing aids.

I think we have the quote of the day.

Do not knock Robson Ranch. I visited a BBQ bout there once and found many were NT fans and attend the games. It would be a good area to do a little promo work in. Maybe a bus to the games. Some of the retirees might life to leavfe a legacy for the university.

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol

      Most uneducated post I read was someone saying we could end up being a quad 3 blemish on the gophers tourney resume. 🤦‍♂️ gotta keep winning games like this. Only way to get past the stigma.

      We're considered a mid-major I believe. P5 are Big 10, SEC, ACC, Big 12, and Big East.
