The PA volume was appropriate tonight. As a crowd maybe we needed some caffeine shots. But the PA volume is better.

The PA volume was appropriate tonight. As a crowd maybe we needed some caffeine shots. But the PA volume is better.
The problem IMO: The band playing that irritating tune between plays:( Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. they need to be more creative imo.
Not a band expert, but they have a tune for each down. All college bands do that.Quote:

I reckon Dr Maggard got the message and that won't happen again.Quote:

In addition to the volume being bearable and allowing me to hear the person seated next to me, four songs were played that I actually knew. Those songs were, I Love Rock and Roll by Joan Jett and the Black Hearts, Bohemian Rhapsody and We Will Rock You by Queen, and Dancing Queen by ABBA. All the other auto-tuned stuff by artist with very little talent I could have made on the computer in my studio in about an hour.
Anyway, great job Dr. Maggard.

Geezus, some of you guys need to read what youre posting. Do you know what you sound like?
I just wonder... if ESPN had anything to do with the volume being turned down for a national broadcast?
Probably just Maggard responding to the people. Hes been doing that for a while now. I know we arent used to it, but its happening.Quote:

We were certainly not used to that with previous administration, but get used to it now.
This is pretty darn close to practicing law without a license here. But I like it.Quote:

Jay, in defensive of those who complained about how loud the sound was Saturday night, you're sitting in an enclosed area and you have headphones on. So, you were not getting the full blast of sound.Quote:

I totally agree. But this was addressed on the board on Monday. I said it would be turned down and then here comes someone threatening to sue. If he had read the whole thread he could have saved his fingers. That was my point.Quote:

To be fair, Dancing Queen is a garbage song to be playing during a football game. The other three you cited are good in stadium songs.Quote:

Do you know if our athletic department has any input with ESPN regarding their showing footage of our campus and athletic facilities? ESPN did show about 10 seconds inside the lobby of the APC, but that was it. Seems like filling their air time with a couple of minutes promoting UL would be something they would want. I remember past interviews with ADs at half time, but didn't see that either. I would hope they would give the university a couple of minutes to showcase itself on national tv. I suspect UL marketing people are all over this, but curious as to ESPN's response since it is not being shown.Quote:

Both schools are given a :30 to promote themselves. Most of the time, but not all, you see those at half time. Those are not paid for, ESPN gives that time.
