The Homecoming & Hoops show in GIA was pretty spectacular

I walked into GIA tonight not knowing what to expect.

On one hand I feel like Homecoming & Hoops has never really lived up to the hype but on the other hand I know how much OSU paid for this event and I know who was putting it on and I know that they’re very, very good at what they do.

What took place was over-the-top great though. The transition of all the old courts in the video was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. The spoken poetry, though difficult to hear, was the perfect complement to an all-time production.

Here’s the ending of the lyrics (first video)…

These are the champions
This is our establishment
We are the Cowboys
This is our best year
Ladies and gentlemen
Let the games begin

You want a season for the ages? You got the kick-start you’re looking for tonight.
