Gotta get the Clone Cone. That’s one my favorite Hilton traditions. Also SIAP but the “running of the flag” around the interior concourse is a fun thing.
Hilton Noob Question
- Thread starter Didley
- Start date
No phone reg for me, although we did have phones when I was a student. They were black and hung on the dorm room wall right inside the door. Unless you were an engineering major and then you did all kinds of cool stuff with phones and stereos and lights.
But I digress. In my day, we got turn cards. Didn't understand that until I went to Beardshear and realized the time on the card was the time you got to stand in a line. We'd compare notes after trying to get into classes. Some of the ladies behind the tables were more helpful than others.
Years ago the pep band used to play "Happy Trails" whenever an opposing player fouled out.
Conference series in softball are usually Fri-Sun, but the Big 12 already makes exceptions for Easter weekend, scheduling those games Thu-Sat.
They nearly blew up March madness a few years back because they were put in a bracket where their second round game would have been on a Sunday. Maybe they've mellowed, but I'm still wary.
And I really don't care if it's "only" WBB. If they choose to participate in a secular activity, their religious rules should not be imposed on the rest of the institutions. And I'll drop it now, before I cave this thread.
I'll keep it out of the cave and just say that tiny little changes that may have to be made in scheduling are far outweighed by the things they bring (large, national, engaged fan base with lots of disposable income).
Wrestling has a decent number of competitions on Sundays including the second day of the conference championships.
There is also a lot of Thur - Sun scheduling in soccer as well including the conference championship which is Sun-Thur-Sun.

It goes back to at least the 1960’s; this was going on when I started at ISU in 1970. Back then the opposing Head Coach got three claps.
As the season(s) wore on, "Let's Go State" also became, at various times:
Let's Bake Cakes
Let's Pet Snakes
Let's Buy Rakes
...and "I-S-U" morphed into just vowel sounds ("ah-eh-ooh")
Which might be a concern if BYU hadn't dropped their program 20+ years ago.
That started after Steve Stiponovich “Stipo” (pronounced Steepo) accidentally shot him self in the foot with a real gun.
We morphed it into "Let's get tanked" as well. "Shake and Bake" occurred a couple times too.
As long as the other team doesn’t have a guy named Christodoulopoulos I feel like I could keep up with that though.
And it was glorious when they came to hilton and when he was announced the student section all let go with cap guns.
Wouldn't happen on several different levels today
I don't think they do anymore. That was always one of my favorites growing up, but now we've settled for the high schoolish "left, right, left, right, sit down" thing. Just kill me if we ever start chanting "You can't do that!".
