Jacked Up! - Opening night at the EnergySolutions Arena

by Basketball John on Oct 28, 2008 3:00 PM MDT

I can't wait for the new player intros. Dimming the lights and having a kick-a start to the games is something that has been missing for a long time. But this has cause for worry,

We will be showing off our New "Light’s Out" Player Introduction….be there early, you won’t want to miss this, when we go completely overboard with the new lights and sound, for a player intro that will jack up the crowd like you’ve never been jacked up before. It’s something new that’s never been done in the NBA!

I have to admit it piques my curiosity, but at the same time it kind of scares me because I think it might be something so incredibly lame, it will bring much embarrassment upon the Jazz and fans. Or perhaps we'll see some mortal injuries as the fans get jacked up. If it hasn't been done before in the NBA, maybe there's a reason. Anyone have a guess as to what they'll be doing? I hope it's something cool, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

My reason behind my skepticism is that not only will Collin Raye (he's still around?) be singing the national anthem (the huge flag will be cool), but he will be performing the new Jazz theme song. I've always thought that the Jazz needed a great song that can be played at home after wins. But this song scares me.

Also, please let me see this on TV.

Danger! Danger!

Jazz theme song: Let’s hope Deron talked Little Miller into allowing Lil-John to assist in the team song instead of Achy-Breaky Dad slut.

The Allen Parsons project must live on….

Who Are You?

I’d go with the same clip of the WHO that CSI begins with… I think that was the soundtrack to the Big Bang bazillion years ago. It’s like everything is falling apart and then suddenly starts exploding with every Pete Townsend windmill…. I would be pumped if they played that crazy loud with the lights out.

At Dodgers games they play a song clip per batter. Jeff Kent gets Van Halen’s Unchained riff. Very loud; very cool.

I hope they will show the intros on TV tonight.

Leave the ball, will you George?

Check out that guy ringing a fake bell in the photo. Could the Jazz be going the “Hell’s Bells” route? It sure pumps up the fans at Duke football games.

The more you try to erase me, the more that I appear.
