Gameday Host

[Gorm]

Every time I saw that woman on the screen I thought of some sort of "WE ARE LIVE ON MTV COMING TO YOU FROM SPRING BREAK 2003!" type vibe.

This. Except also throw in a sponsor plug by her. "MTV Spring Break brought to you by Taco Bell. Head for the border and then head for your toilet!"

This is a phenomenal comp.

Whether or not she’s a hawk fan or whatever, they could have put out some social media post introducing her to get out ahead of any hawk stuff. Engagement is spot on. But people want to engage with people who are interested in the same thing. People aren’t going to want to engage with someone who next weekend could be rooting for the other freaking team, regardless of its Iowa or not. It’s just weird. And if she’s for real an Iowa fan just makes it 10x worse.

They send out an email about her a while back.

 

[Letterkenny]

I doubt she's getting paid much. In-game hosts are the norm in pro sports.

Thanks, I hate it.

One way to show disdain is to boo her incessantly every time she screeches into the mic.

Or yell "Shut the F### Up!

 

[BurgundyClone]

I don't really care either way if we have a host, but please turn her mic down 40%

Get someone who knows the gameday experience. She doesn’t have a clue what can get people going. When she was in the student section, they looked at her with the look of, is this Jimmy from down the hall’s mom?

 

[BCClone]

Well Jackie’s last name fits her. Pronounced smelling and that is exactly what her performance did, it smelled.

The answer isn’t to find somebody different, it’s either one of two things. Either just do the typical lame sponsor crap with the PA, recordings, etc, and get it over with or actually come up with some interesting and entertaining sponsored content. There might be 100 people on the planet that can make the existing sponsor filler crap tolerable.

What’s the most effective way for us to come together and eliminate this position? I don’t even want to make it about an individual, just the position in general. Petition, ‘Let’s Go State’ chants to cover up those segments, specific amount donation campaign to We Will in support of eliminating it?

We could go full Texas and have a DJ instead

A host seems very Class A Baseball

 

[dosry5]

Yes that wasn’t good either. Did we ever hear a complete call? LOL.
That at least can be fixed. I don’t think that screechy voice can be..

Heard way too many first down calls for ND….

 

[Aclone]

wtf is this…. Did they not think we would find this?

What, that she was supporting the Iowa Air National Guard?

Bring the Pole Assassin on board for timeout entertainment

 

[carvers4math]

I love the segments they have of Audi interviewing people. Either she or Hawley would be good at this if it has to be a thing.

 

[hiltonisheaven]

They have 3 weeks to make adjustments before the next home game. Let’s see if they can improve.

I was thinking about the same thing. Could the stadium overpower her shrieking with boos? Would boos look and sound bad on tv? Would a nice "Shut the hell up" chant work? Could we NIL the band to follow here around and play the fight song close enough to her that she can't yell into the microphone?
There is a solution to this problem, we just have to find it and implement it.

 

[SolarGarlic]

It was over the top in person too. I did sort of just realize it felt like the band hardly played 3rd down music, etc. today. Usually those songs are buzzing in my head for a while following the game (in a good way, love the band)

I do too. But this is what we get when the loudmouths who've been around for 5 years decide their opinions matter more than people who have been here for decades. We actually have young fans calling for less band like a college football game is supposed to be a house party aux cord.

 

[SolarGarlic]

Thanks, I hate it.

I'm just saying people who are whining about this being a waste of money are clueless. She probably gets paid a couple hundred bucks a game.
