2010-2011 Introduction Videos

In any sport, not just college basketball, preparation is key. You need to make sure that by game time, you are mentally and physically prepared for battle.

But for us fans, there is little we can do to prepare for a college basketball game other than down a couple pints and paint our faces. But luckily the good people in athletics departments provide us with the necessary materials to get fired up for a college basketball game.

As somebody who grew up wanting to be a professional wrestler solely for the entrance music and pyrotechnics, I live for the ten minutes prior to tip-off. It's the time when fans can really start to get the blood flowing. The light's dim, the players get introduced, and right before "Zombie Nation" hits the loudspeakers, the pregame videos hit.

There's nothing better than a good pregame video.

Scouring the internet is one of the things we do best here at B.I.A.H, and we used those skills to seek out some of the better current jumbotron videos. There's no better experience that watching one of these instant-adrenaline-rushes and feeling the hair on your neck stand straight up.

This isn't a full list since clearly not all the videos have been uploaded onto the internet. If you find one, please let us know at CONTACTBIAH at GMAIL dot COM

Get Fired Up: 2009-2010 Pregame Videos

There are a lot of things you can do to prepare for a game, to get yourself mentally and physically ready play. To get hyped. To get fired up. To get the adrenaline flowing.

Whatever cliche sports term you throw in there, the end goal is the same. It is what makes the game feel like it matters, like it's your obligation to society to go out there and put it all on the line, regardless of the opponent or circumstance.

When I played competitive sports, I was an energy guy. The type of player who would smack the floor on defense, bang my chest after a big play, and spend the entire pre-game sitting in the corner with a black hoodie on, listening to war music.

Now that my athletic career is long over, I look forward to the ten or twenty minutes prior to tip-off as much as I do the actual game. With univerisaties investing millions in their athletic programs, it would make sense that even the pregame rituals are conducted at a professional level.

What does all of this mean?

The pregame jumbotron videos are spectacular!
