Could the cowbell give the players a heads up on pass/run?
East side rings if it's a pass. West side rings if it's a run?
Just following up to get a conversation started about it.

Not my call, but I'd stick with the "free pass" on artificial noisemakers...Quote:

And just how are 63,000 untrained fans supposed to determine the playcall?Quote:

It was really good in basketball when it had rhythm.
Hack I agree with you. I hate the cheer now. My wife who is a bama fan and doesn't understand the cheer keeps telling me I am doing it wrong... No sabanite you and those milleniums are wrong.
Why are the students so fast. It wasn't that way when I was up there. I hope they are not fast at sex.Quote:

the problem is that they do it as the same speed they do it on kickoffs.Quote:

Naturally, this would confuse the fans when it's play action because it initially appears to be run but turns into a pass. Thus, we utilize our phone flashlights to signify to the athletes we are changing our call from run to pass. We do this with morse code. Hand over flashlight...two short, two long.
There is no way this fails. Great plan....
I see all of your points. I just thought we could discuss it and it would lead to something. Let's just ring randomly after the snap. It helps save your voice for before the snap.
