push players. That is much needed. Consistency from the team would help though. Getting on CBS more than 1 time can seriously help player exposure . Personally, I think we need to expose the media department more. I have met a surprising amount of fans who have never even heard of the Season or season highlights and such.

Coming from a non-Ole Miss fan, you guys should get a new band director and invest in that department.

I don't mind dubstep, but I felt like I was at Tommorrowland the last two times I was there for games.

It sounds petty, but I guarantee you the Vaught would be more rocking with a badass pregame and something like LSU's "Hold That Tiger" before the start of the 4th. With that said the hotty toddy chant from the celebrity guest gets pretty loud at least


eta: I'm sure that's a collaboration between the AD and the music department, so I'm not sure exactly how much sayl Bjork has in this instance

They could do a better job of firing Matt Luke

I don't know about the director. I couldn't even tell you who he is. But I guarandamntee you that whoever it is, is a frustrated SOB. I've been saying for years that we need to pump some money into the program. Our band is embarrassing when compared to others around the league.

I've been so wanting to have a much more exciting band the only god thing they've done in the last 10 years with the band was move them to behind the goalpost instead of on the side of the stadium.

I agree. Maybe something gothic or stencil if we use an "M." My other complaints are half-assing the Vaught expansion, not addressing shitty parking situation, and lack of day-time fireworks, which should be aimed at the nearest electrical cables.

Those are rough. I still vote we keep the script.

Now the Vaught expansion pisses me off.

The script is the best. I'm not in favor of losing it.

I like Ross's current idea much more than his original idea but I still hate his idea I can already tell the north endzone not going to the top is going to really piss me off. Also the fact that all 4 sides of the stadium are going to look different. Also I'm still pissed that they didn't build the basketball stadium on the tennis courts right across the street from the current basketball stadium construction then it wouldn't be such a cluster frick between the football and basketball stadium.

Ross original idea:




Ross current idea:




I may have disliked Pete Boone but he sure has hell knew how to expand a stadium a lot better than Bjork

Swayze field pre expansion:


Swayze field now:


Boone's original football stadium idea:

I like Pete's football stadium concept. The current concept looks half assed with the bricking and stuff.

Literally the only differences between Bjork's current and previous "ideas" is brickwork below the big scoreboard and the size of the jumbotrons by the south endzone suites.

Y'all muhfrickas will find anything to bitch about

Disclaimer: I think the brick work in the original idea looks better than the currently proposed brick work.

It has always irked me that VH has completely different features on all 4 sides. It looks half-arsed, thrown together and like shite.

Was Pete Boone's idea cost feasible?
Tearing down existing buildings and adding all of the additional required steel, brick and mortar to construct that entryway is kind of a waste of money.

It looks sexy tho.

Maybe we can make it look like that when we add a club level on top of the NEZ to match the SEZ and an upper deck above the press box when we win 3 straight national championships with Shea Patterson.
