Sosa's new look just scares me.

Is Tracy Morgan the most topical person in this list?

Seriously.  What happened to his face?

Tracy Morgan is hilarious.  He's good on 30 Rock, but if you can find the opportunity, listen to Morgan get interviewed by Howard Stern the last couple times he was there.

Is Sosa trying to tap into the 'Twilight' market?

Is it possible to vote for "Please make the big noggins go away forever because there's nothing funny or clever about them"?

Sosa's skin

If you guys pay them more than Big Noggin does to sponser them, maybe they will listen.

I honestly don't understand why everyone has such a problem with the big noggins. All the students love them, they add to the distraction in the second half for free throws, and they're just all in good fun. Do they really have to be hugely clever if they make students cheer harder?

I think it would be better if they started to get rid of some of them or keep it to really famous people... last game I was looking at them and realized there were a decent amount that I didn't know, so either 1) I'm just getting old or 2) they are starting to use just anybody for them... 1 being the most likely  >:(

The students cheer harder because the JumboTron camera is on the student section, not because they're amped up to see an oversized Golden Girl's head.

IMO, when they announce that it's unveiling time and there's an audible "this again?" groan from the crowd, that should tell someone that it's a gimmick whose time is up.

I'm very sorry to tell you that it might be 1 because a lot of those are pretty famous people.  The worst experience I had was when a student asked me about the person he was holding and after I looked at it I asked him if he was joking.  He said that nobody knew who it was and the person wasn't famous. . . the face on the Big Noggin was none other than Travis Diener.

WOW!!!!  Really?!  Pathetic/depressing story!!  I had a feeling though that it was 1, but I also am not exactly the most knowledgable person when it comes to actors/actresses, etc... I know sports though, lol

I'm not against the big heads per se but I get the impression that there are A LOT of other schools (Even high schools) using big noggins/heads.
maybe it's time to start the process of looking for the next gimmicky fan thing
