I am excited to announce that I have accepted the Director of Live Programming & Entertainment with the @PelicansNBA! While I am grateful of and sad to leave the great people at @LSUsports, I cannot wait to get back home and work for this great organization! #doitBIG #ForeverLSU


Does anyone know what this position is? Judging by the Title I'm hoping it might be someone that can get rid of Dayo.

Yea good dude and I always remember he was pretty funny. He's not in his late 50's so I can only assume the "Dayo" and "Wooo" will be no longer. Praises!


Also in case anyone wanted to know, his nickname in high school was 'Skittles.' No idea how he got it though

That baw has the easiest job in the world. All the creativity from an in game atmosphere plan has already been thought out.


He just needs to watch the 2014 NBA All-Star game that was held in nola and emulate every single thing the NBA did for that game. Not talking about halftime show but the everything else.

Only the court is lit up.
Organist to play throughout the game. Very limited or no piped in music at all.

A few other things but those are the big ones.

This two things alone would improve the arena atmosphere by miles and miles.

I've been screaming that on this board and elsewhere pretty much since that night. It was perfect.

Like seriously how can this dude STILL have a job. He was literally doing the same thing for 16 years. Same music, same everything. Unbelievable.

No the 90 year olds like Tom Benson thought the status quo was good enough.

It's time to actually make an effort to improve the atmosphere in the arena.


You realize the organ player plays current pop and hip hop music right?

I can get that on my tv, phone, radios. Surfeit.

I'd rather not have muzak interfering with the flow of the game. Cheering is enough.

I do want cowgirls though.
