And yet the whole franchise concept is to pawn this stuff off as "healthy" and "fresh". And people believe it.

..You might as well be eating garbage out of the dumpster out back.

Meanwhile, if I were to try and sell you some raw milk straight from a cow, a SWAT team would parachute in with guns and body armor to take me to jail.

It's turkey thigh meat with breast cancer causing chemicals that make it taste kind of like watery ham...

The big hardware upgrade to the soundsystem was done last year. This year was just tweaks to levels and direction. As for the selection...I seem to remember last year the opening game vs Clemson had a LOT of rap/hype music in between plays, before 3rd down, etc., but they seem like they toned it way down the rest of the season. I figured a bunch of old school and big time donors complained about that "loud rap music". I like it personally, gets the fans and players pretty rowdy. Anybody who watched the game yesterday on TV probably saw Lo Carter having a good time after a big hit, I think it was a sack or tackle for loss. Dude was was motioning for the crowd to get loud and bobbing his head all the way to the snap. For ULM

I wasn't at the game yesterday, but it sounded again like there was a lot of it. Hopefully that continues.

that "loud rap music"

I'd call this one a counter-productive downgrade.

Eardrum blowing jungle beats and grunting noises might make some idiots in the crowd bob their heads........but it actually reduces crowd noise and turns the Redcoat Band into an impotent novelty act. Everytime the bass and grunts stopped, the crowd was pretty much dead silent.

This was nothing as ridiculous as the group of ten white kids in short-shorts with croakies on their sunglasses standing in a circle-jerk with no women huddled on the corner of Hull and Baxter and blasting the jungle beats and "suck my dick", "frick a bitch ho ni$$a bitch suck dick" "My dick my dick suck my dick, my dick suck suck it" Dick ni$$a suck it" lyrics played at 500 decibals for all the families and mothers and grandmothers to have to endure as they walked by on their way to the stadium.

I wanted to throw a molotov cocktail into the white kid short-short wearing circle jerk..

Good-Bad-Indifferent

Good
Sound was def balanced better
Big arse fans looked cool
Que-put a jersey on that boy
Platform back in front of cheerleaders

Bad
Credit card machine system was delaying process in our area waiting on system to process

Ran out of ice 3rd qtr...frozen water

Cups-nice combo of scarlet and Crimson

Seatbacks covered in mold

They forgot to put out trash boxes anywhere near our tailgate area (like civilized humans we managed)

Indifferent
Scoreboard trying to display audio as text

Hype videos-too many just becomes noise at some point

pregame cheer from random rapper

Bathroom-didn't notice anything

I didn't have any problems yesterday. My biggest issue with the stadium is now and always has been the fact that the concourses and general facade look like I'm walking through a parking garage. So much concrete. The big fans were a nice addition and the sound was on point but, shite, class up the joint!

When used properly and not overdone, it is guaranteed to do the trick.

It was definitely overdone yesterday. To the point of being repetitive.

I guess the catalog of non-explicit jungle beat/grunt anthems without dick sucking references is pretty limited though. SO, they have to play the same two or three over and over.

That's probably a combination of the sound guy overly excited coming out of hibernation with a lot of new buttons to work with and trying to get his feet wet.

Thinking "he" blew his load yesterday. I believe this has a much greater impact when used less frequently. It wasn't even impacting the students for the most part. Less is more.
