The little boy can do something that won't make the cannon so loud. IT'S CALLED COVERING YOUR EARS!!!!!

Humm, come football time I think we will have to sign a little petition to get that thing back in there. All of our voices together should be able to drown out the screams of that scared little kid.

I bring my two little ones to the games and they love the cannon. But then they are not weenies.

I'm with you REDBUG58. I usually bring 2-6 kids to every game and they were VERY disappointed that the cannon was not in action for the last two home games.

My niece and I nearly jumped out of our skins on several occasions because of the cannon. Isn't that part of the fun of having a cannon? She's 8, and I'm 33, and we would both laugh our heads off afterward. The cannon brought out the kid in me.

Now that football season is approaching, I have a question about the cannon at Cajun Field. To my disappointment, they stopped using it at the end of the year. I heard somewhere that they stopped because the person using it needed a pyrotechnic license or something to that effect. Well, I was just curious to see if anyone close to the University knows the fate of the cannon.

BTW, if they need someone to volunteer, sign me up!

Actually, it was over a dispute between Kappa Alpha Fraternity (owners of the cannon) and the University. The University decided to start charging people to park along Fraternity Row, including fraternity members. This ____ed off the frats, so they began to boycott the football games. I hope that all is resolved on the cannon is back at The Swamp.
