Can we please have "Angry Flannery" sitting courtside-ish behind the visitor's bench at the basketball court?

I created a montage of the many faces of Pat Flannery around 2007/2008 and posted it on the old board. Will see if I can find it in the archives of my computers at home and/or thumdrives.
Do we get to select where they go? There has to be a Crossports Section F - set-up in the new section I. I'll come down from the chairback comfort of section 8 and drag Tom and sader1970 with me to join HCFC45, DiMarz, HC92 and his kids, and of course NAD.

I wish I had a good photo of my dear departed friend, John Meegan. I'd insist they put it in the seat he had, which was the first row upstairs above the manager's office (near the visiting bench). At some point during every game I attend, I look up there.
Two or three seats away from Doris Joyce, a Worcester school teacher who always wore a purple dress.

Sometime in the early '80s, he vowed never to set foot in the place again. His feet still aren't there, but his head and shoulders are. |

From the disclaimer:
1. Any images depicting medieval military imagery or knights. (so no bringing back the Crusader in any way, shape or form, I guess. What about Bobby Knight (LOL)?)
2. Names, images, or likenesses of any players. (Current basketball players or current HC athletes as a whole? What about former players of basketball, etc.? Would be nice if Cooz and/or Tommy H were up there)

My son gave me a sweatshirt that looks like a suit of chainmail armor with a knight's tunic. I had thought to wear either that or my purple CRUSADER shirt. With that disclaimer, I guess I'll take a pass.

Wonder if someone could sneak Peter Dinklage in there.

If NAD has one, it should be like one of those greeting cards where you press a button to make it speak "You, you, you!".
Which reminds me, I hope ESPN+ is light on the fake crowd noise.

from a digital media website:
"In most states, you can be sued for using someone else's name, likeness, or other personal attributes without permission for an exploitative purpose. Usually, people run into trouble in this area when they use someone's name or photograph in a commercial setting, such as in advertising or other promotional activities."

Given the rivalry, the great battles, and the general vibe under which I'd entertain deploying such a cutout, I would hope Coach F. wouldn't be too upset. If he was, then I trust he'd understand my ability to not give a sh*t about it and still have it up under my undying HC loyalty first. The biggest obstacle I could foresee is HC admin being such wimps about it that they'd decline the photo. I'm sure they rather post a cutout of me giving the thumbs up, or holding a study guide.

I don't know Pat well at all, but I have chatted with him a couple of times. My guess is that he'd get a big kick out of it. |

Cutout Cru

Has anyone who paid for a cutout gotten any feedback or acknowledgment?
My concern was that I have some doubts some of the cutouts that I paid for will meet the standards (ex: I have one with a family member standing next to the Crusader - of course - so will they keep that or crop out the Crusader or reject the picture entirely at the last minute?).
And, where are they going to place the cutouts? At your season ticket seats or lower and near court side so will be more visible on ESPN+ and for the players?
Anyone know?

I tried to see myself on a hockey broadcast - to no avail. The athletic department should post pics of the “fans” in the stands! |

"I have to be honest, I haven't quite gotten the hang of the cutout people in the stands. I mean, that's an episode of 'Twilight Zone.' ... I don't even know how they decide the seating. Do the fake people have a lottery for where they sit? Because I know this, some of those fake people have way better seats than the other ones. ... In these funny times, even a fake person can get screwed. Live clean, live smart, and maybe when you become a fake person, you'll get good seats at the LSU game."
