My name is Andrew Dolian and I work with Dan DeVos and Game OperationsâŚ
We are looking for suggestions, ideas for time outs. For Example Contests, favorite halftime shows etc.
Were the balloons behind the baskets a good add?
Please post ideas.
One we thought of having norm run as many laps as he can with the Huge! Charlotte Flag during a full Time out. Possibly having the wave go around as he runs in front of you.
Let us know, as we are open for your opinions!
Thanks and GO NINERS!!!
Just posted one in another threadâŚtake a look:

AlsoâŚFWIWâŚliked the Intro music and hilite reel MUCH better last year!
I asked one of the security people and they told me I coulnt bring my Charlotte flag in with the stick. I think making a few laps waving the flag would rock. If we cant, let norm do it or something, around the ring.
Also, I wanted to ask the U times to donate their old papers, so we could pretend to read them and shuffle them during freethrows⌠but it would probably go over better if you guys worked that out.
the balloon things rocked, now only if we could get more bodies out there.
Also....FWIW....liked the Intro music and hilite reel MUCH better last year!
Ditto. Didnât care for the new music/video intro at all. Last yearâs audio and video was much better. Just something about seeing the highlight reels from the 70âs-present that got the hairs up on your arms. And despite it being pretty old now, the Dr. Dre player intro music was much better.
As for halftime shows, I really enjoyed the BMX guys on the launch ramps. Thatâs always a crowd favorite.
I second that notion JCL. Anything like that, thats gonna get people to go WOW.
I dont see the new Intro Video going away. Sorry guys.
hey Jason, anyway to get those highlight reels or atleast those clips of the student section you guys recorded at basketball madness up?

pessimist
Thatâs a shame. I understand tweaking it a bit each year to be sure current players are represented, but I love seeing the nostalgia.
I did like the new band song where they twirl around during the drum beatâŚmaybe a little silly but I liked it

Put the spotights on Norm as he pumps the crowd moving around the ring. Maybe, with some high 5s and some chest bumping, waving a flag/banner and maybe handing out some sort of goodies. I hear T-shirts are popular. LOL. Oh yeah, REMIND Norm heâs to pump the crowd.

The intro video this year is TIGHT, but I would still have to place my vote for including the old clips. They are some of the founding fathers of Niner Nation and have earned the air time. Plus Iâd rather see some of the oldies do their thang rather than Booker falling after getting a rebound. Furthermore, Charlotte has a big problem with tradition and I think we need to remind everyone, new and old, that we have been good for a while and have a history of success.
As for the Dr. Dre song, JCL is right. That song is a GREAT intro song. Unless the players want something different that might pump them up, I would have to insist we reinstate Dr. Dre.

You are one to talk haha:lol:
how bout the acrodunks⌠if anyone knows they did opening night. We could also try to include norm during the halftime. THese guys are incredible trampoline dunkers!
What about having like a student dance off for like a time out. dance to a song for 30 seconds then vote on the winner.
I do believe frekdog is now the MFâN BOYYYYYYYYYY
And yes, that means he is Officially TR Endorsed!
I said it in the shoutbox but Iâll post it cause an ideaâs an idea, right?
How about for halftime we get a band to perform a Niner Nation song? I certainly can help write lyrics for it if this goes through. I love music.
I also thought we could do a Niner Nation rap since we are in the dirty dirty. I already have some lyrics for that lol (see signature).
It may be odd to some, but I think itâd be pretty coo.
I sit in Alumni sect 216. Cheerleaders on the track was a good idea. Connects the upper level to lower.
-Norm circling the track during Timeouts is a good idea.
-Send the t-shirt guys around the track. Nothing ever gets up to the 2nd level. My son jumps up and down but no chance. Same for the Vic card things.
-Turn down the PA a bit. Music is fine but the PA is way too loud.
Overall, good production. Band was much better with the twirl thing. Liked that the Sorority girls joined in. Good stuff.
Video is here to stay... new footage may be added but it will be about the same
Thatâs a real shame. Last yearâs video was superior in every way, shape and form. Giant step backwards in my opinion. Is there a reason why weâre settling for so much less quality this year?
Any chance last yearâs video can be made available for folks whoâd like to have it?
Yeah, last years video was awesome!
Agreed with Lefty. Nice sound system but a tad bit loud. Hard to hear what he is saying.
I agreeâŚthe âRight here, Right nowâ song playing while Maxwell, Dinkins, Williams, Diego, Hayward, etc. clips being shown would get me so revved up last year. This year isâŚeh.
The Dr. Dre song is the best to do the opening line ups to as well. Although I thought the Little Jon one with the sample was pretty good a couple years ago too.
I liked the cheerleaders in the middle section, we need more stuff going on there like Lefty saidâŚ
PLEASE, get rid of fan of the game. It was not properly executed today, but even when it is, I think its terrible and embarrasing.
Whatever happened to the guys with the unicycles (or am just making that up)? Thats from back in the day, I think, but always though it was goodâŚ
