ASU Curtain of Distraction

UW student section, you might want to pay attention to this.

I know one game earlier this year (possibly Nevada) there was someone in a speedo and everyone around him would sit down and let him do his thing, and that seemed to work actually, whoever it was seemed to miss quite a few more than normal.

That was great but then the next home game they didn't do it again. The speedo kid was there but the section didn't sit down and let him do his thing.

As far as the curtain. That is awesome but I have a feeling that that type of thing will be outlawed after the season. Watching the video on that article it looked like they had more props and support than just the student section could bring in. Our students need to come up with something like this though. That would be sweet.
 
Speedo guy works and it doesn't matter if the students around him sit down. The one game I watched, they would clear out. The next home game he was right down front. Either way, the opposing teams free throw percentage was much lower in the second half then it was in the first. You can see the expression on the shooters face as he tries not to look at Pasty McGrady rubbing his nipples in a speedo: then CLANG. They need a couple more unique people to join the party, but the speedo guy is a rock star already. There's always room for a heavy set guy with tassles on his nipples to whirl the free throw shooter into a bad miss.

As this program builds back to success the students are really starting to turn into a force. I gave them a hard time earlier this year, but they carry the building on a lot of nights.
 
Creativity is a wonderful thing, students, next Wednesday, last year when Larry went down with the dreaded knee, it looked like Cezar Guerrero was clapping and happy it happened, then he had a meltdown and started crying cuz the fans were on him and he left the court for awhile, sobbing and crying...students, when Cezar gets the ball, Cezar....Cezar...Cezar the whole game get in his head and make him uncomfortable in Laramie again.
What a smuck, he's easy to get into his grill!!!!!!
 
I have season tickets for ASU basketball and can tell you that the "Curtain of distraction" is awesome. It really keeps the students and fans involved in the game, also downsizing the seating capacity has helped the the game day environment significantly. The same thing holds true with Sundevil stadium also.

I think we need to get that stupid duck from the abc seamless siding in Cheyenne commercials in the front row. That'll be effective
 
When I was at USU, Wild Bill was the man. So many players came up to him before the game and gave him props. It was great.

2:45 is awesome

That was great video ha ha ha. How could you shoot a free throw knowing that something will surprise you behind the curtain. Good stuff.
 
So awesome. Come on UW students. Pick up the game a little. Go Start the Bus chant is getting a little old.

cheering and heckling is an evolving thing, you have to do your homework on the opponent use some creativity to get in the heads of the opponent and make it a hard place to play, can't just show up and stand there and clap once in awhile, it our home court let's protect it
