OK, that was absolutely awesome!
Nebraska's gymnasts were announced in a normal tone of voice. Suddenly, the lights went down and a video of a Nebraska bus played on the big screen. Out of nowhere, the bus gets thrown off the road by a cyclone, to a huge ovation. The video preceded to show, one-by-one, a photo of each Cyclone gymnast, accompanied by a map of North America with a star marking each competitor's hometown.
Following the video, fog started to rise from the stage, and when the smoke cleared, the Cyclone gymnasts were posed almost as if they were ready to take a media guide photo. The gymnasts were each introduced one by one and threw "Golden Rule" t-shirts to the crowd, capping of probably the finest entrance I've ever seen at a gymnastics meet.
Tonight definitely has the feel of a big time event, and I honestly think there's more fans here than in Boulder for men'sbsketball game on Wednesday.
By the way, the golden rule is "Beat Nebraska."
