The old guy? Dont know if Ben has ever been refered to as that. In fact, I think think Jerry (new music man) might actually be older. (not 100% sure on that)
twas obvious we had a new guy, there was no hit the road jack

I think the player introductions should be done just before the game and only introduce the team when the run out onto the floor.
It would have been easier to introduce the crowd to the players when they did it last night!

Jessica Simpson was a mistake and Toxic by britney is more of a cheerleader song than a game song. Sexyback was good but didnt get enough play. I think the Dj needs to go back to the earlier music thread that he started up and take more of our suggestions. Oh and the old school tracks were a bit weak, theres more energetic Elvis songs that could of been used.

Yeah agree 100% with the earlier post re: no hit the road jack with an opposition foul out. Big oversight at a B/ball game.Good to see the crowd still remembered.
I am in an agreeable mood today and totally agree with the post about the old school stuff as well. They were pretty lame. I thought prehaps Mal had picked the old school stuff personally.
More KISS please. Suggestion. Rock and roll all nite.

While I understand that Fox telecasts change the usual routine, I think the players should be introduced as realistically close to tip off as possible. There are far more fans in their seats to cheer the players as they are introduced one by one then there are when they first hit the floor. In my opinion, introducing the players then having the national anthem then right into tip off builds a nice amount of atmosphere to start the game off.
Does any one sit near whoever boo's the umps straight after the last umps name is called out before the game? Give him/ them/ her on the back for me.
I think they sit south side. It is hard to pick.
Most of the stadium used to get involved, now its down to 1 or 2. Keep up the good work. Old school at its best.
Sorry, that should of read give them/ him/ her a pat on the back, not punch in the back. (unless your an umpire)
Got to get that song from Remember the Titans (that's where i remember it from) when the players get fouled out. Classic
