That reminds me. We all have ideas to make the gameday experience better in the Convo. How about some "on this date" videos in pregame or during timeouts or place monitors around the concourse with videos like this and others (highlights from the last game, ads for the Bobcat Club, etc.)

Anyway, cool video. Coop was on fire. Love the adulation from Ric after his steal and dunk. Not featured in the highlight, I remember a breakaway layup from Tunji that set the place delirious.

I LOVE this idea. It would be a great use of the pending arrival over center court.

In terms of the concourse, we already have a few screens at the concession stands and the rarely get used, which for me is frustrating, and shouldn't be acceptable to those running the show. Highlights like this would be a good use of them, as would showing a couple out of town MAC games, or OUr game. Frankly, having them turned on showing anything related to Ohio Basketball, MAC Basketball, or Ohio University would be a start.

That would be perfect content for the new scoreboard. Or even better, how about a short highlight video before player intros that feature highlights from past games (Maryland/UNC wins, NCAA wins, MAC title games, etc.). No reason why new students and fans shouldn't know that FLOMO blocked and dunked the hell out of UNC and that DJ threw a ridiculous oop to Devaughn against Georgetown.

I like the trip down memory lane as much as any fan, but it's hard not to be wistful. Think of all the guys in that video who were or still are enjoying some time as a pro. That kind of roster feels like eons ago.
