So how was it last night? (I'm out of town and couldn't make it.) From the photos on ougrizzlies.com, it looks like there was a decent crowd. There seems to be more excitement surrounding the start of this season than any I can remember, so hopefully some of that was reflected last night.

Arrived a bit late (10:30) so I'm not sure how the first 30 minutes went but there was an appearance by the Piston's Flight Crew, the hoop teams made their introductions (not sure what the theme this year was), Coach Kampe and Francis rode out on the court in a golf cart, and Jones and Reising made some inspirational speeches on the upcoming season. Had some prizes to give out towards the end including tuition. Couldn't make anything of the team just yet as it was just intros and dunks for a few minutes. Don't know if there will be any scrimmages coming up.

Anyone else notice that Nelson wasn't participating in the layup drill or any other activities? I hope he's just being cautious and the foot injury isn't lingering. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

It was a great night, definately one of the biggest Midnight Madness crowds I've ever seen. Did anyone else notice the new guy on the bball team (at least new to me?) I think he may have been a walk on or something

Travis Bader was the guy I was referring to. He may have been recruited and I just missed it.

Not the best quality, but good to see that someone took some video of the Pistons' Flight Crew during midnight madness:
