Heard a first last night. Toward the end of the fourth quarter Mich fans in that corner were chanting "fire the cannon". Cheered when did as the clock ran out.
Enough with the train horn on 3rd down
- Thread starter Leonard23
- Start date
I'm calling BS on this alleged "F@ck Penn State" chant EVERY 3rd down?
Really?
And it's so prevalent they started playing the horn?
I'm going to need video evidence.
I sat Section 102 - Row 8 for Nebraska (literally next to student section) and never heard anything.

You probably thought they were saying “block that kick” like most of the visiting fans that come to the stadium.
Midfield, and never ever heard it, including the infamous navy game when it was supposedly directed at the navy team
Not saying it didn’t happen, but the sound did not carry well enough I guess
The crowd was excellent on third down first half. It was absolute overkill.
I sit in 229, and it is pretty much every third down for a number of seasons now... unless it's late in the game and the student section has already cleared out.
If it was only when we were playing Penn State, at least it would make more sense, but they even do it when we're playing FCS teams like Wagner.
Definitely harder to hear this year, because they drown it out with the train horn
Here is my though:
Eliminate the horn because it has nothing to do with Rutgers tradition.
Replace it with the real sound of the bells ringing atop Old Queens
The Bells Must Ring

Meanwhile at LSU, they gladly accept the NCAA fine. good ole New Jersey
Oh it happened.
Rutgers Tom, who was a student at Rutgers when it happened and is now an Editor at the NY Times broke it, and the f-ing jackoff who wrote the article about it, down beautifully.
Breaking — Rutgers Fans Hate America!
I’m getting something off the wire here, let me see what it says… Oh My! It seems that Rutgers fans, the very fans who once had a bad football team and and empty stadium and class, are…

Oh, and for the record, the F Penn State chant is GLORIOUS and I have already notified my ticket rep to make a note he can call me once in the off season to renew and I'll let him know if I'm satified with how they've handled the horn as the season progresses. So far, not too good.
Yes I don’t doubt it happenedOh it happened.

Some posters here said it wasn’t as bad as when they do it to Penn State because some students didn’t go along with it
Personally, I think we should have some medieval war drums. It would be awesome sounding, unique and fit with our mascot.
5 to 10 kids did it. It was a hack writer looking to go coast-to-coast that turned it into something it wasn't.
I was in the front row of section 206 when that chant started. It was more than 5-10 kids but as soon as it was loud enough for people to hear, the rest of the stadium began booing them and it stopped. I doubt the whole thing lasted more than 30 seconds.
I'll concede 15 and I think that's a stretch but that's it. I was right by the tunnel.
I also think 30 seconds is a lot longer than it lasted.
This is what I remember hearing and we got hammered in the press
I had somebody mention it to me not too long ago
I'm sure DiIonno's Orange masters bought him a case of Scotch when that drivel got picked up across the country.
This has probably been going on the past few years to some extent without my noticing it but - watching the highlights of the first half, after our blocked punt TD they even played the horn over the Cannon, drowning it out. Unacceptable (coming from a guy that works for the railroad).
Where is this fan feedback form everyone has been talking about all year? I'm a first year season ticket holder (young alumni) but haven't seen anything in my email all year.
Commented in another thread why announce a start time for the PSU game? Just wait in the lots for the horn to start and not stop once kickoff happens.
The Big Ten isn't fining schools for swearing or Wisconsin would have shut its doors.
This is someone in the admin or a "big donor" being triggered.
