Player introduction music

Never too late to change it BU. Do the right thing and try something else. There should be enough talent at BU to give us a new intro every week, until we get one that sticks.
 
In 2006-2007 they used Blue Man Group's "Above". It is different than the music from the pre-game video from last season that played around the 8 minute mark before the game started.

I only remember this song because I had seen Blue Man Group right before the first game vs DePaul and they opened the show with Above, so it was pretty cool that BU was using it also. I wish the pre-game video from the 06-07 season was on YouTube somewhere.

Here are YouTube links to the song:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RAVemPIAtc - this is just the audio...the BU video music started about 1:48

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0h2h9-DRrTM - here is a live performance of Blue Man Group performing the song. If you don't watch the whole video, at least watch from about the 1:40 mark to the end.
 
I think the fans on this board need to get out of Peoria and experience college sports elsewhere. Team intro videos before line ups are to introduce the CURRENT team. The old highlights go elsewhere like before the team comes out so hopefully they will bring that stuff back soon. You only get :60 seconds so would be tough to fit anything else in by the time you show each player. I thought i recognized the song from the video and i found it- in a NIKE soccer commercial thats pretty cool. The rock feel is way better than the rap crap you cant understand anyway.

The song before tip off is White Stripes 7 nation army that so far seems to get the students jumping which is what its about. Zombie Nation is about the most played out song in sports so at least we changed to something a little better. We went from the Penn State signature song to the Ohio State signature song I guess... Either way, its a very popular sports fire up song.

Also, if Im not mistaken Bradley used to use students to do a lot of their video and audio stuff. Not sure it thats still the case but sometimes you get what you pay for.

In the past year I have been to games in Champaign, Tucson, and Tempe. All of them had a MUCH better intro. In the past I have also been to games all over the MVC and Big Ten and don't remember seeing an intro as poor as BU's is this year...

Just a couple intro videos I've seen that I can think of off the top of my head that have old to new highlights.

So maybe your not the expert of intro videos you thought you were BaldEBrave.
 
Actually, my points are still valid because none of these meet the valleys requirements of :60 second max to be team intro videos. Most schools play their big video as a build up to the team coming out of the locker room for the final time around the 5/6 min mark. Thats why you see the longer videos that feature more history and that type of stuff. Then they have the short video that shows players on the current team if they are a place that can turn lights off. You are looking at different things, all I am saying is that you arent comparing apples to apples and there are times and places for the history/fan fire up stuff and team intros/tip off stuff.

Right now, Bradley only has 1 of the elements and I dont think its as bad as everyone says. Heck of a lot better than other MVC stuff Ive seen but not near the "big leagues" in terms of atmosphere.
 
I have part of the intro recorded on my Droid but the video is hard to see due to no zoom on Droid X's. You can still hear how lame the music is and I didn't bother recording our whole starting lineup, the music is just lame, doesn't get anyone pumped up at all. Hardly anyone claps at the end of the intro video, thinking "what the hay was that?" LOL

I'll get the video uploaded on youtube sometime tomorrow or Thanksgiving probably and post the link here.

Alright, here is the player lineup intro video and sucky song choice. I stopped recording soon after I heard the same ole song start playing again. Was hoping they would change it up after so many negative complaints but they not listening to us.

This was recorded using a Droid X that doesn't have zoom, so the video board will be a little hard to see....

One positive of the night was they played something different than that horrible song during the intro tonight! It wasn't perfect but a upgrade for sure!

Just trying to think good thoughts
