Just a thought from the Nicholls game...

[CajunZ1]

I had no problem with the music being played, when it was being played, or how loud it was.

We have no gametime traditions (besides "Hey Baby" and the ESPN theme...) so might as well play some music.

[Zeebart21]

I can confirm that the music and how often it was played was exactly what Hud wanted.

Git NO problem with the piped in music.. It was done at OK State.. I do have a problem with "Ebby body clap yo hanes'" Gotta be the worst e'ffing tune ever made... Hud is a fan of classic rock....that is awesome.

I brought this question to the table earlier...


If you have to drop anchor at a game.. what do you do? Grin and bear it? Leave for the port-o-potty route?

[CajunDreDog]

I waited until I got back to the RV. I WILL NOT go in a stadium unless I 100000000% have to!!!

Now that's how you hijack a thread. Take notes, people.

[ULvictory]

it would be uncomfortable pooing at the stadium, the stalls have no doors.

That's what shower curtains are for . But I must say that the band needs to step it up. If one has to play a song on the PA after every single play, then obviously there's a problem.

[cajun67]

Who gives the band the OK to play and when? Does the band director just decide I will now toot?? Or does someone else radio in a toot?? Trying to combine both threads?? I hear that tooting is signaled to the band. If so, the band may not have the final say on when they paly.

When the day comes that I'm too proud to hover over the urinal and drop a deuce in front of all of the rest of you... then I'm going to just wear a diaper to the game. I'll at least make it a celebratory event and when the Cajuns score... I'll high five everyone around me... and drop a load at the same time. There's always ways around these things. You just have to put pride on the shelf... for a short grunt or two.

Oh... and screw the piped in noise. I've got to stop bopping around when that junk comes on. I think the alcohol makes me think it's music for a second or two. Anyhow... the band needs to get with it. They need to start learning quick riffs that plug into open spots. I think they've dramatically cleaned up their play... but they need to become an integral part of the football gameday experience... besides just halftime.

I'm considering volunteering to help "boot camp" the Cajun brass. I'll probably have to overcome a lot of mothering protection by the band director... but horn players at UL need to be shown what it's like to have balls. I'm pretty sure that someone within their band leadership is giving them some esoteric lesson on proper intonation... but that shat don't fly in the stands on Saturday night. If they need me to show them, I will. I'll also make sure no one with too much femininity interferes. Drums and brass need to try to destroy themselves on Saturday night in the stands.

I remember a Southern Miss game in the early 90's where our drumline was having a little in-game competition with the USM drumline. It was a close contest until our guys broke out a rendidtion of the guitar solo from Metallica's "One".

Needless to say, the USM guys were left speechless by that one.


Kind of a different mindset, huh J1M?

While the game itself was up and down, a nice victory for the Cajuns in the end. As always tailgating was great as was the turnout. But what's with the Arena Football atmosphere once inside the stadium? One of the reasons my wife will sit and watch college games on TV with me at home is the BIG TIME COLLEGE ATMOSPHERE, with the bands blaring and so forth. So what's with the deafening recorded music between plays at Cajun Field? Who came up with this idea? A topic for discussion that came up with some of us old school old guys in the press box last night. Bottom line: Are we just being old fogies? Oh, and at this time, I'm watching Oklahoma St. and Tulsa LIVE at 1:16 a.m., Sunday, 9/18...a game delayed because of weather. Is this insane or not...Not that I'm watching, but that the game is still being played?

I agree with the piped in music part! It was kind of funny watching Surgent dancing to it though......They could play anything and he would start doing a little jig. It's kind of cool that he is that comfortable with himself to dance in front of 25K. My 6 year old son is a tiger scout and we got some free tickets to the game. All in all good experience. We got to go on the field before the game and Hud came around to all of the boy scouts telling them thanks for coming.

The music though.....At one point they played some song named Bumblebee. My son was like "DAD, IS THAT BUMBLEBEE FROM TRANSFORMERS?". I honestly didn't know, I can't keep up with this trendy hip hop and don't care too.

Oh yeah, we sat right behind the band and I did think that was pretty cool. The Tuba's were blaring!

Gorilla fingers are a private experience only to be had from the house.
