Mentioned this a few times in the game thread.. Tonight was easily one of the WORST uses of the jumbotron/hype music/generating atmosphere.
1. Advertisements - There were more tonight than all year combined. So many commercials and at the wrong time. I believe we had a huge stop in the 4th quarter and the first thing I hear is Renasant Bank..... Unacceptable. The tron killed crowd energy tonight.
2. Recognitions - There were so many of these. 85 Bulldogs and Armed forces members go for it... But there was one point tonight that we actually started some music that was CUT OUT to honor some cowgirl. W.T.F.
3. Silence - When there wasn't a commercial or recognition there was often...... crickets...... The silence was deafening.
4. The band - Ole Miss does this right. They have microphones at the band which plays through speakers around the stadium. Our band as it currently exists during the game is the most useless thing ever. Make it to where the crowd actually hears them or just let the band play at half and have no seating in the stands.
Just an amateurish night all around regarding this. Energy the first three quarters was abysmal. We are seeing our team ranked #1!!!! Act like it. My section (faculty), for the most part, was a morgue until the 4th Qtr. Completely different from A&M and Auburn. Fix this Scott!!! Ads and recognitions before the game and at halftime! We had been doing so well here, yet reverted back to the old BS tonight which was as bad as ever.
