It's Midnight Madness Baby!

If you are a big fan of college basketball then last Friday was a very big day for you as the new season kicked off with Midnight Madness celebrations all over the country. Like preseason in another sports this gives fans a chance to just see their guys in action and get their first look at some of the new talent. It's also a great time for teams to simply have a good time and put on a heck of a show for the fans that help make the game as great as it is.

Like they do every season, there were a number of teams that went all out for their Midnight Madness events. There were MC Hammer impersonations, incredible dunks, guys in tutus, more incredible dunks, a Jackie Moon sighting in Pittsburgh, parents getting involved, suspect country music singers, and so much more! Of all the videos from all the celebrations the following four videos are the best of the bunch:
