So did anyone go to the Izzone open forum?

  • SIAP,

    Just wondering if anything got done there tonight? Unfortunately, I had another obligation and couldn't go.

    The farting birds will stop when the crappy topics do

  • It went well. I don't think there were any suggestions that hadn't already been made on tRCMB.

  • Was there anything that they'll be changing?

  • we decided that since last year wasnt a good as expected and that this year is a down year for the izzone as a result, also lots of freshman this years compared to other years and its taking them a while to get it going. But regardless we need to get things going and hopefully with confrence play the izzone will pick up.

    the main ideas discussed were.

    1. they're gonna see if signs can come back, it looks like most people in charge want them back and the only problem is that the administartion might not want them back for now.

    2.Get better at communicating with students and fans, maybe through more emails, youtube videos of the players speaking to the students to help encourage them, get a facebook page and a twitter going for the izzone, etc

    3.Getting the section leaders more involed in starting chears and keeping the crowd going.

    4.See if its possible to show clips of previous msu teams and have videos about our programs history playing on the jumbo tron prior to the game so kids can learn more about our programs history and hopefully people will get more excited if they are know about the great history and legacy of the program. There are some great stuff on BTN about our msu basketball history that we could show.

  • - Basically, MSU athletics employees support signs. Everyone else (adminstration, Breslin, etc.) doesn't.

    - The text cam is in the works.

    - Priority seating for conference games based on attendance for non-conference games was discussed.

  • People need to take charge and create their own flyers, not that bull shit stuff the SAF puts out. There used to be someone who would actually do homework on the opposing teams and have that info for the izzone to print and would hand some out. Hell I used to look up opposing players parents names for the big games to use during warm ups and what not and pass them out to everyone around me. Need more shit like that, need more heckling.

    I like number 4 it seems like everyone has just been sitting around for two hours and are pretty bored by the time the game starts. They need yo do something before tip off to get the crowd goin

    RIP tRCMB

    Did you notice the post about changes mentioned on tRCMB were brought up at the meeting? Either you did and you're just trolling, or you have the reading comprehension of a 2 year old.

    so what exactly did you guys put on these flyers? and how did you figure it out?

    The director of basketball operations said he will address the SAF Izzone directors.

    it didnt really come up, they might make the section leaders all sit together and that could lead to less people saving seats.

    Just wondering as it seemed to be a fairly large complaint that people on tRCMB have made.

    It's an open forum. They were getting student ideas. The whole premise of the meeting was to get student input. Changes will be coming.

    But good work hatin' on the Izzone, champ.

    There was just different points to heckle about depending on the team, sometimes it would be girlfriends, or a player getting in trouble or whatever. I didn't make the actual flyer, they were forwarded to me or posted on facebook, can't remember but I would print a bunch out to pass out. They also would put parents names on it.

    When I printed up the parents names I would just go to the opposing teams official site, they have their parents under player bios. It was always good when father would say unknown or not be listed.

    A player was getting heckled about his gf during a game this year and Breslin staff were going to kick them out

    "Text cam" - Put a texter on the videoboard and have the crowd count until they notice.

    sounds like it was a "Golly geez guys come on we need to cheer more. Leaders you need to start chants, are we good.????Great."

    That sounds like another way for more Izzoners to get on a TV. Not a deterrent.
