I traveld to oklahoma this past weekend. Some say its a waste of the 1450 milies i put on my car for the round trip from boulder to norman.
non the less i had a ball and came away with these observations. and why CU should follow suit.
Video board- The size of this thing in norman is insane. its in HD and obviously expensive. when we have the money, lets please update our scoreboard and video boards please.....
Presentation: here is the big one. Prior to going into the locker room the players all meet in the middle of the field and get amped while crazy train is playing, they go into the locker room. after the band does there thing it follows with player introductions on the 40 yard video board. sunday night football style. the player introduce themselves on the board and the crowd gets rowdy.(other schools do this too, alabama is one) then a video comes up of the players exiting the locker room all syked and pumped up and follows them to the sooner schooner bubble where they are all jumping up and down and follow there little wagon out to the field and hit a sign. then the boomer sooner chants start from each side of the stadium.
it was the coolest, and best way ive seen to get both the fans, and the players amped.
The kicker is as all this is happening the recruits are on the sidelines watching. if im a kid, i couldnt help but imagine myself on that huge board saying my name and postion and the crowd cheering after it and being apart of that type of presentation, non the less a program of that stature, no matter how crappy norman is.
CU has the ingredients to do all of this. Think of the games at folsom, obviously ralphie is the best thing ever, but we dont exploit it enough. fans were more pumped to see a wagon in oklahoma than a buffaloe in boulder. (dont say its because we are a worse team) were in boulder, an awesome top 5 place to live! lets use what we have to recruit and get people amped.
lets get creative, lets get with the times, lets recruit, and lets win some football games!
