New Norm:
I am glad to see that Norm has his pick back. Now we just need to work on getting the pipe back.
New Norm looks to be from the Coke ads we had out last year. Any news on that sponsorship?
I love the new Norm! He apparently went back to the gym and hit the wieghts, and now he looks pissed and a Bad Ass! I hated it when we changed it and made norm look soft and huggable.

Terrence Williams is a Charlotte freshman from West Mecklenburg, and in the world, and family, in which he grew up fans had two choices - cheer for North Carolina or Duke. Williams chose the Tar Heels
.
Are you still a fan?
āWell, not really,ā he says. āIām here.ā ;D
On another noteā¦ Normās intro music.
Granted, I do not like Kid Rockā¦ butā¦
KEEP THAT INTRO MUSIC!
BleedsGreen beat me to it! Actually had copied with intent to paste the same quote from Terrence! Awesome to hear from your players.
Media day video. Good look at the players and their mindset.

I agree - they looked great.
Wow. When was the last time that weāve been universally positive on a marketing-like change that our school/AD has done? G-R-E-A-T J-O-B athletic dept. on making the change.
Ok, so whereās the commentary on the event?
I watched in online. Definitely one of the best in recent years. Nice production, liked the stage, lighting, music. Not many lulls in the action. Steedley and the other Garrett? did a nice job.
Dunks from JB, TW and that last one from Mayfield were sick.
Are their any video clips that show the manager doing the soccer rainbow flick to set up JB for the dunk? That could be ESPN worthy!
Yep. Uniforms, New Norm and Madness event - ALL GOOD STUFF.

Heh, yeah, I forgot to mention that I was specifically talking about the new Norm. But yeah, the new uniās are sweet. Now letās NOT CHANGE THEM NEXT YEAR.
New Niner is meanā¦ he could put a beating on any mascot I know. Those have to be 49 inch bicepsā¦ Iām sure glad he didnāt get rid of the classic beard. He would have looked like a fool. Sorry Paydirt Peteā¦

Want a write up?
Decent
Audio was god awful - couldnāt hear hardly anything.
Players intros were good but not spectacular.
The MCs either seemed to be mumbling or yelling into the mics.
Skills comp was good.
Horse game was poor and boring.
The dance skit was pretty funny.
JB rapping was poor because we couldnāt hear shit.
Dunk contest was solid.
Highlights:
New Unis
New Norm
A few dunks

THIS!
Observations:
-These guys look a lot bigger than I thought they would. I had only seen them from pictures posted here. They have hit the gym hard it looks like
-Agree with Lew, Kid Rock was an awesome intro
-The sound system has a lot of bass.
-We noticed that the team looked comfortable together. They seemed like good friends, relaxed and honestly have fun out there, good chemistry. Alumnus pointed out, compare this to last years squard who came out looking cold and unenthusiastic.
-Norm looks good. Tough, more like a football mascot.
-I think Braswell looks soft still. Of course he wasnāt in āgame timeā mode.
-I love the way the team supports each other. Demario had some missed dunks, team was there right away.
-Demario is QUICK on his feet. He appears to be on rails.
-The 3 point line doesnāt look as bad in person.
-There is a male gold duster.
-LED boards look great. They have really been getting better at the graphics.
I donāt know what else really, we didnāt get to see as much action as I thought we would of. Probably more player observations on Saturday.
