Halftime
Didn't see this mentioned elsewhere, but the halftime "entertainment" hypnotist has to rank as one of the worst ever for a UD game. I wonder who thought booking that guy was a good idea. The PA announcer telling everyone to remain in their seats to witness "something never seen before at UD arena" wasn't kidding. Hopefully we won't ever see it again.

Who was the hypnotist? I have an old college friend who is a hypnotist. I'm curious about the guy's reputation.

The horrible hypnotist was a topic of discussion at the Royal Roundtable this afternoon and UDPride Nation can be assured he will never return.
Dilly, dilly....

On a tangential note, did anyone else notice on I think Trey's dunk the PA announcer said "Trey Landers with the one-handed jam!" Did anyone find this rather odd? I know it was not the usual PA guy but it made it sound extra homerish and completely unnecessary to those watching the game. Weird.

Younger PA announcer. He'll be a good one with some seasoning.

Do you mean ERIC Suttman? If so, he passed away several years ago.
Jeff Stevens is the normal announcer at mens games.

I just watched the game replay. All I heard on Trey's dunk was "Trey Landers from Josh Cunningham."

Only when the cheerleaders were handing out the jumbo boxes of Lee’s Chicken, and the DJ ended the promo by playing The Chicken Dance.

You might be getting that confused with the pregame hype video, when they show a replay of Trey’s slam against SLU last year, and they use Larry’s call from the radio broadcast as the voiceover.

Pre-game entertainment for me was Rudy trailing behind the St. Joe’s Hawk who was was flapping its wings and Rudy with his arms close to his body was flapping his hands.
I thought the hypnotist was a joke....... really a hypnotist, seriously!

On the big video board did they show one of those pocket watches swinging on a chain while the guy said - you are getting sleepy?

That's right. My bad. Last night it sounded like Trey Landers with one hand.
Better head to the ear doctor...

He also handles the PA duties for volleyball and women's basketball. Not always an easy job, expecially understanding the volleyball jargon. I happen to think he does a nice job all the way around. But maybe I'm just getting a little tired of Jeff Stevens...
