players intros & crowd chants

[cabse5]

First, I admit I've got why too much time on my hands..

Last night during the Iowa vs. Wisky broadcast on the Big Ten Network, an announcer said: Basabe-wasabi-does Melsahn like sushi?

I think wasabi is a sushi dish.

Then I got to thinking about a favorite comedian of mine: Bobby Lee from Mad TV. He used to have a skit where he was a late night talk show host. Over and over again, he'd say wasabi then laugh. He'd talk in a raspy, choppy voice that reminded me of the boy in the Shining when the boy would say murder backwards-redrum.

When Melsahn gets introduced before a game, the PA can say:
number 1,

Mel-sahn Ba/Sa/Be in that raspy, choppy voice.

When Cully Payne gets introduced, there could be a sound effect - pain. Or a sight gag-a bandaged jock.
Whatever. I'm not sure this will make Cully play better. Maybe this type of thing would be more effective on an opponent - like Bo.

The crowd could come up with some more chants. Liven the place up more. Intimidate the visitors.

You're absolutely right. You do have too much time on your hands.
