Dr. Joe is definitely right: Kickoff.

Instead of three or four speeches in a row, FIRST incorporated media and kept everyone guessing the whole way through. Even their game show format was interesting because it was chock full of things we needed to know for this year's game. This kept the audience interested and really made the Kickoff run more smoothly. Afterward, I heard many comments about how this year was really much better than the last few.
