Gameday Host

[aeroclone]

Junior Cyclone Club. I dont think there was anything else though.

She introduced the dance cam. Then I believe she did an Iowa Corn promo. I think that may have been it.

 

[Cyclone06]

Pretty sure at the end of JCC she said let’s go Iowa. That was it.

 

[BillBrasky4Cy]

They clearly coached her on voice volume and tone and phrasing. They also went to her considerably less.

Jackie is very good at what she does and it’s all off script. She wasn’t coached, everyone read the room and figured out that we don’t need/want the minor league type entertainment. Kudos to everyone for adjusting.

If that happened and the video footage of it starts floating around that won't be good for optics.

Did anybody else catch when she introduced a T-shirt toss, but there were no t-shirts that were thrown/shot after the introduction? We were waiting, waiting, but they never came.

I saw plenty of t shirts tossed on the video board. Maybe just not from the plac she did the promo.

Why not use student athletes to do the promos, and let them receive the payments? NIL anybody?

Most of the women’s basketball team would be better at this, but especially Audi

Credit to the athletic department and game day experience teams - they listened and yesterday was infinitely better. Well done.

I still don't understand why her or her role exists, but as others have said, she was better than the previous game. When she first showed up on the video board I was really disappointed she was back. But either her, her mic, or both were at a more appropriate volume. She didn't act like she was hopped up on amphetamines every time she was on camera. She wasn't used as much as previously. It was an improvement. She's still not necessary or wanted, but she wasn't offensive and an embarrassment this week like she was previously. She still has a lot to do, in my mind, to overcome her week 1 issues. That first impression will haunt her for awhile.

Also, we're an engineering school. We should be able to design a tshirt gun that shoots into orbit, not just 20 rows in the lower bowl.

Engagement is why it exists. People are naturally going to pay more attention to a live person talking than just a random ad played on a Jumbotron. ISU can charge more for this type of advertising.

After being yelled at by her every time she was on during game 1, I have no desire to engage with her and my preference is to avoid her. Maybe I'm alone, but judging by the number of audible f-words the second she showed up this week, I don't think I am.

I saw a bunch throughout the day, but didn't see a single one when she made that announcement. Everybody in our section was laughing about it, we looked all around the field, there were none.

Saw plenty shot into the upper deck this time on my side. I was impressed.

 

[AlaCyclone]

The new Gameday Host did not bother me one bit yesterday.

They shoot them over the upper deck sometimes.

 

[NickTheGreat]

We sit in the lower bowl and were showered with t-shirts. Using them as wash rags I have so many.

Seriously, it seemed like a lot of them in the NW corner.

Do you mean the authentic brand t-shirt toss? I had one land by me after it bounced off by those around me.

(I offered it to those who it bounced off of. No one took it.)

Her vibe still just doesn't work IMO. Way better, but not good. After witnessing Laura Vandenberg in Iowa City, we got a minor league version of what the do over there...
