that too, but, that was part of the flash mob thing?

but yes, I agree. I’m all for doing what you gotta do to get students to go. but, don’t just do it for big games. get people to go to the “crappy” games too.

Here’s BYU’s last year, they kind of struck out in the contrast department but i like the move where they’re all bent over going different directions.

We say this so much it’s a worn cliche — and yours truly is as guilty as anyone — but this is why college basketball is so awesome. Sure, the game is great. Sure, the stories of the players and coaches can captivate us, can break our hearts, can maybe, just maybe, teach us something about ourselves. But at the end of the day, the thing that sets college basketball apart is the fans. More specifically, it’s the students — their big cardboard heads and silly costumes and their just-shy-of-foul chants and their silly dances. They’re why this sport is what it is.

What I’m trying to say, I guess, is this: Shine on, you crazy flash-mobbing diamonds, you. Shine on.
