you hit gold with the last 2. i cant disagree more with the first 2, though i know most will argue with me about this. i like thursday nights, its my opinion.
It's hard to not try and drink as much of that last beer as possible before going in to the stadium though...
I know, I know... I'm as guilty as anyone else.
I guess as I get older I would like to see the environment inside The Jack be just as good as it is outside.
Aaaaaah, 1985. Nothing says "confidence" like a 54-point loss followed by a loss to...Drake. Thank goodness gas wasn't $3.50 then. I don't think I could have afforded 2500 miles in a 6-week period.
Nothing pumps me up more (besides great football) than the drum corps. I don't think they do it anymore, but the corps used to go through the parking lots during tailgating and also through the stands during the games.
Drum corps = college football atmosphere.

1. Scrap the pre game cheers. It's lame and poor participation makes it lamer. (Is lamer a word? Anyway it has a high degree of lamness.) 2. Better Music - There are TONS of songs that would get the crowd jacked. I really loved the mortal combat theme when the team entered. GO find a good local DJ and turn him/her loose.
AMEN! I can't get real jacked up about Neil singing "DA DA DA..." with the drunk sorority girls three rows down. Let's get the crowd pumped and ready to go get us a lead! I hate how we play easy listening to pump us up. Might as well throw some James Taylor and Michael Bolton on too...
Come on, Sweet Caroline is about the only song that gets everyone up and participating... Anything that would get us 'jacked up' would likely irritate people more than pump them up.
I'm more in favor of scrapping Sweet Caroline completely, but if it must be played, how about only at the end of the game after wins, ala "Go Cubs Go"?
It just doesn't work to play such a slow, lazy song anytime during the game, and if we're losing I don't want to hear about how "Good times never seem so good".

I'm fine with that... at the end of the game. Or maybe at halftime... just not during the course of the game. It's a buzzkill... I enjoy singing that song while hammered as much as the next guy, but that doesn't mean I want to do it during a football game.
I think they tried it at halftime. The problem is with the band playing and other things that go on at halftime, the only chance they had to play it was as the players were coming back on the field, which really doesn't work either.
