It's these same old people that complain about there not being any "hilton magic" anymore.
actually...most of the blame can be placed on McDermott with a little on Morgan for killing Hilton magic.
I also blame these people. The solution I have suggested for years is that "standing encouraged" sections be created near the court for non-students who want to stand and cheer most of the game. Start with the sections right near the student sections. If demand becomes large enough, make it a sideline.
It was alive under Morgan still.

Amen the song at the ISU wbb game Sat. was Rockin Robin, Seriously a song from the 1950's lets make a lit bit more current please.
I think the magic will flash tomorrow night, as it will against Kansas and Baylor. We saw flashes last year (with Coach Orr) and we will see stronger flashes this year, and I am pretty sure Hilton Magic will be in full effect next year. I seriously believe Lucious, Babb, Clyburn, Niang, and White will have the power to bring Hilton Magic to a place it has never been before. As long as the smile cam gets taken down. Maybe get a noise type contest for the crowd involving everyone.Or we could just play sandstorm during every break...
If you can force the students to give up their smart phones during the game, this could be doable. However, a lot of the students spend just as much time texting and surfing as the the old people do sitting on their hands.
Terrible idea. 1. They start promotions to get students into the building. 2. The athletic department had to seriously reduce ticket prices to get people in Hilton for the Texas game.
Students can rock the place, and it starts with Cyclone Alley getting students there.
As a final note, Cyclone Alley this year now requires students have their shirt with them to enter Cyclone Alley, but they do not have to wear the shirt.

THIS! I am guilty of spending too much time on my phone or laptop at home, but I wouldn't dream of sitting on my phone during a game and I only graduated 3 years ago. Screaming your *** off >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Twittering as far as having fun at a game goes.
The football student section is 10x better than the basketball section. Cyclone Alley discourages students from showing up in my opinion.
It was certainly dying during his tenure. It certainly had flashes of life, but it was on its way downward.
However, Mcdermott took something that was dying and stuffed a pillow over it (and then burned the body, dug a hole and buried it, etc)
I'll be honest, i'm guilty of following twitter during the games. There's usually some good posts from Williams, Blum, and some of the other media in attendance.
You're right, my bad. Misread an email. Still think the email is poorly written. However, the people wearing bananas and gorilla suits have shown you can get away with it
Maybe it's just me, but I spend all week staring at a phone or computer screen. If I'm paying to go to a game and driving down to Ames, that's my mental health break from that ********.
