In Game Pipe Music

[facelessjonmoon]

Didn't we used to play the players "juice" music on standalone speakers on the field before the game for them and play different music over the PA? I usually go and chat with my dad when I get in the stadium and we can barely hear ourselves think this year. Maybe I'm misremembering.

I also thought the mix was much better this game, and even though it's not my favorite, I preferred the players third down video to the goofy assistant one.

I did noticed that stAte converted every mark hocke 3rd down while our defense stopped them on most of the player video 3rd downs.....Because of that, I biggly liked the player 3rd video


I'm probably in the minority here, but the bass beat on the 3rd down videos is AWESOME

This is coming from someone who listens to metal while lifting weights and would prefer a little metal thrown into the mix during the games..... Ironically Appy state played mostly rock and metal during their game last week and most here loved that atmosphere

___k the millennial soy boy students. They're not showing up anyway. Whatever gets the players going needs to be played and played loud

I like the bass beat too. I also like hell's bells!

Don’t know where you get band sits on their hands, I was there last night and they played often. AND they sound great!!! Probably the best band I’ve heard in 10 years. Their growing every year too, almost 300. So quit with the band bashing cliche’s of the past, everything at UL is getting better.

The band was GREAT last night. Loved the halftime show

Regardless of your choice in music, is what's being done now (music, volumn, over the top forced DJ voice ETC) add or detract from enjoying your in game experience?

Students are another matter...with the majority of frats on campus in some sort of university double secret probation, including at least 1 sorority, it's going to take clubs, dorms, and GDI's getting involved...hello Utah, we're stealing your idea!

It doesn’t detract from mine or my families’. At the same time, I don’t judge the folks that don’t enjoy it. I personally think none of that would be as noticeable or important if we had 30,000 fans making a ton of noise.

So you must have enjoyed Motörhead as much as I did to start the game? Also there is a different fan demographic in Appalachia, lol.

Yes sir I did. Ill just say I was pleasantly surprised

Overall, I think the mix of music was much improved last night. I would still like a little more metal mixed in but JMO

As far as the mountain dew men, is it a coincidence that they play with an aggressive physical style of play? Maybe but we need a little more of that and need to make that mindset more of our football culture

The majority of the music played last night during breaks was Zydeco/Cajun....exception was kickoffs....

I was told the players want the Hip Hop/ Rap during warm ups. I have no problem with that, it gets them excited. During the tailgating, people close to the North Endzone can't carry a conversation with the crap so loud.

All I know is, when we we got the fourth down stop at the end, they played "Jump Around" on the PA.

And, watching the team jump around was a beautiful sight.

Watch any P5 game and the band controls the music. Do we not learn anything when we play schools like Texas A&M, Alabama, or even LSU? Their bands play music that has the fans engaged like spelling out C-A-J-U-N-S. Play it over and over for every big play or score. Have something specific to great defensive plays that also gets the fans involved. If we are going to pipe in music from time to time, play Cajun music relative to our culture. Fan interaction is missing and attending games is often boring even when we are winning. Fans and particularly students are simply not engaged and that is priority one if we are ever going to get them excited about Louisiana football again. And, black out home games on local TV so people have to come out to see our games instead of sitting in the comfort of their living rooms. And when they do attend, make sure they are engaged in the atmosphere and play on the field. And lastly, we must do something with our students. Student attendance is pathetic. There is absolutely no reason that UL athletics is not a prioriy for all students. Our athletic department needs to quickly figure out how to make that connection and instill in the students the pride in their university and when they do show up, again, get them engaged and involved thru cheers and music played by our college band, not rap music piped in at the most inopportune times. Is Lafayette a real college town or just a pretender? Time to find out.

Please send this directly to the administration

Yeah I noticed that too. They play deep bass beats on third down too, which doesn’t bother me. But I noticed plenty of zydeco. That’s why this thread confused me. Hell they played Motörhead before the initial kick off. My head was nodding.

I imagine the majority of our players and visiting recruits prefer the rap as well. I’d also bet the University plays that to get more students in the stands. Not that it has worked...

Players on the sideline were moving to the Zydeco beat.....they go to clubs in the area too.....

Amen to that.....

Most programs have enough crowd noise to create a disadvantage for the visiting team when they have the ball. We have to pipe in music. And it’s terrible
