How can you be a respectable program with out a blow up run through tunnel?
Answer: You cant be.
The kids cant get hyped up with out a blow up tunnel.
They need hype.
Now if you cant do smoke, I get that. Its on you. You are just lazy.
But what about the kids man??? Blow up Tunnel

The only reason we use one is because a parent bought it for the schoo before we took over the program.

If we bought one, I'd "accidentally" trip and fall on one while holding a knife. Repeatedly.

We run out down the 50 yard line through the middle of the field marching band as they play the tomahawk chop...

This is just a straight up troll job. No way can any of your posts ever be taken seriously now.

We have one. Our worthless ASB director forgets it every other week. He pins it on the coaches like it’s our job and we don’t have anything else to do. The guy literally doesn’t have to teach or coach anything. He has four periods of ASB and one of student store. Meanwhile, the coaches teach science, PE and special ed.
Every time he opens his mouth around me I want to cut him off and use the Mark wahlberg line from the Departed “I’m the guy who does his job, you must be the other guy”

One of the annual signs for me that it is almost football season, is cleaning the rat feces off the blowup tunnel and inflating it for the first time in months.
Ahhh sun rise, sun set.

Kids like it. Fans like it. I don't have to blow it up, store it, clean it, or anything else. I'm good, not quite sure why the animosity.
The entrance is a heck of a lot better than what they had before.

We have a hockey arena back to back with the football field, similar to the Boston College setup. All the changerooms are in the basement and we come out a tunnel/stairs to the field from under the stands so it makes for a pretty cool entrance. But it rains four days a week here and it’s icy eight months a year.
So one game the kids get fired up and storm up the stairs. The first five kids come out screaming and then someone slips and takes out the kids behind him, so there’s panic in the stairwell and five kids are now screaming on the field alone. One by one kids crawl over the fallen and trickle out and finally the bulk of the team walks out in a very careful, orderly fashion.
The game was over and we hadn’t even seen the other team yet.

Meaningless unless you shoot fireworks off while running though it.

Worst pre-game entrance I ever saw I was scouting:
team has a tradition where they enter the field by coming down from the stands and walk through the crowd...I don't know if it was always like or if this was the first time, but it was a complete cluster
so they have an old small press box with an elevator that probably holds 5 people max, the team walks out of the field house and gathers up around the elevator, then they all take turns getting on the elevator to go up to the press box
so the team is just standing there outside the pressbox for an eternity until everybody is up the elevator, then they play some music and the kids walk down the rafters toward the field while the crowd cheers...it took forever
make maters worse...there was a gate that separated the stands from the field itself, and somebody forgot to unlock it...so "enter sandman" is blasting and they are doing their slow intimidating walk down the stands, but they all get bottlenecked up at the bottom of the stands not moving, until they just start throwing a leg over and climbing the gate 1 at a time
not sure they got the intended result there
blow up tunnel and smoke is way better

You guys are forgetting laser lights with the smoke. and fire cannons. Definitely fire cannons. We may not win the game but I'll be damned if we don't win the entrance.

Tunnel, Smoke, and Fireworks is lame... Unless you have a "Hype Team" & "Fan Section" with a dedicated "Social Media Squad" armed with GoPros you are basically just JV.

The sad thing is, we are fooling ourselves if we don't think this plays a role when players decide what HS they choose to go to. What is worse is re-reading that sentence and realizing it is not a typo. |

We took this program over last year and had the best season in a decade and I was asked on numerous occasions why we don't have any of those things... |

Listen in this #NewEra you have to have hype. Blow up tunnels equal hype. You might win a bunch of regular season games but you’ll never get through the playoffs vs quality opponents without an inflatable tunnel.

It all depends on where you are. When I was up north we rarely saw them. In Texas, most schools have one. If they don't they run through a sign. Some have both. MOst have either a helmet or a giant mascot. Whether we have one or not has no bearing on performance on the field. Ours is small and not as fancy as anyone we play. If the size of the run through helmet or tunnel helped you win we would buy the biggest one we could get. If it made us lose we would get rid of it. It has no bearing either way.
