Can we please stop with the cheesy pre-lineup highlight video (buzz kill really), all you need to do to inject MAX excitement is just cut the dang lights off and crank up the song from 1997 Bulls lineup intro!

Simple and sweet!

Agree, I’m not a fan of the intro video either.

Let me suggest as an intro right before the game begins: Darkness falls in Timmons Arena as a hologram of former Furman coach Joe Williams wearing a white 3 piece suit appears at center court and all of a sudden the song Takin' Care of Business blares on the loud speakers. I can dream can't I?

I thought pregame hype vids were pretty standard. I like seeing the highlights. I sometimes see the other team’s players watching the video, getting a good subliminal dose of the ass-kicking they are about to receive.

How about a hologram of Coach Williams' wife entering the courtside seats at the old BBB in that white sweater she used to wear.
Fred needs a heater right now!

Generally they are to long/dull and kill the excitement level, our players are just kinda standing around waiting for it to be over................. They don't really add anything.......
Whatever we play it needs to be shortened and we need a good lineup intro song and light show, something that gets the blood pumping lol.....

plus add this new ritual

Wow, talk about boring!!! A middle school drill.

Good segment on WYFF. “Furman basketball's one person production powerhouse.”
