What's up with those card board face cutouts?

I don't get it...it's for distraction right, but it seems kind of lame.

agreed, I think they are a terrible idea.

and to be honest, somewhat embarassing.

completely uncreative.

I don't mind them. Occasionally an obscure face will make me laugh.

I have to differ-some of them are pretty clever.

I'd love to see a Doug Gottlieb cutout with a X through it

What about a floating laptop for tomorrow night? Or has it been to long for that to be funny?

I thought all the urinals at the BC had Gottlieb's big head picture in them.

For a while they were fun and creative. Now, I find them to be somewhat annoying and the idea is pretty played out. They've gotten boring.

I personally felt the one with Huggis grabbing his hair and screaming at the WVU game was hilarious.    I think they still have their time and place.

Would you rather have our student section wave their arms around like every other place....

Cardboard Cut-Outs are where its at... just need to get the right ones...

For Thabeet we should get DeJuan Blair's head... Thabeet has to be scared of Blair after Blair tossed him over the top ropes like a mid-90's Royal Rumble.

Relevant (to the game) cut-outs like this I like. Same with the occasional opposing coach heads. However, random celebs - not so exciting anymore.

I thought the one of Bo Ryan screaming next to the one of the Grinch was inspired.

I think one of Ken Krayeske would be hilarious (the "reporter" who asked the salary question)

I think it's really cool, but only because Indiana does it too.

My wife and I cracked up over the Rod Blagojevich cutout!  We went back to look at it again during the next stoppage of play!

As a now "older alum," I think the cutouts are pretty funny, but mostly when they apply directly to the teams we are playing.  I read something recently (I think it may have been a thread here on "Hanging at the Al") that on of the ND guys had a nightmare about the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man.  Please ... Please ... let me see one of those when they shoot foul shots!

I love a rowdy student section, and MU's has always risen to the occasion!

 I think for the syracuse game MU should have Rhianna big heads and other beaten women in honor of Eric Devendorf

Any way the laptops can be brought back for tmrw in honor of A.J. Price?
