I'm guessing the halftime show was similar to the first 10 seconds of this clip, over and over again?

Yup.

That must be a catch-phrase for them. Once (maybe twice for emphasis) is funny in some venues. 15 to 20 reps just got creepy.

Call me old fashioned but we need some like Ed to get the crowd fired up, not the dog and pony shows to entertain us. Went to a game last year and the acrobats were on. Some old lady ******* that I was standing up and talking BB and she couldn't see them. It's a freaking basketball game, not a circus. It is a break so that you can yell and scream and cheer for the second half.:realmad:

In her defense, you probably could have moved a little to the side, or gone up to the concourse to stretch your legs - especially if you're a young guy and she's older and may need to sit more. Some folks do actually enjoy the halftime entertainment. Granted, maybe not this one...but yeah, some of them are pretty good.

My halftime was great! I'd explain further but not sure the gf would appreciate me talking about the details.

This is why going to Creighton games, and like arenas, is fun because you go out to get more beer!

There have been Quick Change acts around for a very long time so I'm not sure its exactly the same "Quick Change"
THought I had a great view of them looking down in the curtain thing they had from the rafters of Hilton but I still couldn't pick out how it was working


Google it. It will ruin it for you...

Can we assume the poor half time show was the reason Texas was able to come back and nearly win? I imagine it shook the team's confidence.

It killed the atmosphere completely in all seriousness.

Sounds like every time the band plays a song during a timeout.

Last night was the first time I can remember being angry with the band. Most of the time I laugh or ignore them. But at the last time out, we had a really strong "Cyclone" "Power" chant going, and it was still building...and the band director decided to play Cyclone Aerobics right in the middle. Totally killed the moment, and not very many joined in with the band. He should have just left it alone and let the chant build.

The band director for last nights game was not the normal director. Not sure who he was or if that had any bearing on the song choice you're speaking of.

IMO, the best half time act is always the ISU drum line type group that does the woop woop faster song.

I do give ISU props for having the men's choir do the National Anthem, that was great.
