Love the idea of the Glee Club singing some of Soup's old football songs somewhere before the game.
Gameday Traditions you miss/want to see dropped/would like to see

1)get rid of "tell me something good" for replays. Feels like a 70s porn song
2)don't know if this is a tradition but can we actually hear the refs calls for once
3)when the PA announces commercials the energy comes to a standstill
4)I remember the team coming out to Hells Bells, fired the crowd up good.

I'd like to see a better sound system. I'd also like to see the band play to both sides of the field.
We do.
One of the interesting things about my complaint is that when Julie was AD
and asked fans the same question as this thread
she replied to me that she had no control over what was put on the ribbon boards.
What? The AD has no control over the ribbon boards in the stadium.
Didn't believe that and thought she either 1) didn't think it was a battle worth fighting as she had other issues,
or 2) she was one of the ignorant p.c. proponents
Couldn't agree more.
It's something that is unique and cool to Rutgers. The student section gets absolutely pumped up. The only issue is getting the older part of the crowd to participate.
For YEARS now, we've had an ongoing issue with being able to actually hear the refs penalty calls. Game day experience problem number one...(btw, not a sound problem, but a wireless mike issue)
My brain's a little fuzzy on this but I remember that the trough was accessible from lines on both sides with a wooden dividing screen between.
No I don't want this 'tradition' to return.
Kudos. What a measured, civil, well thought out post with no ad hominem that politely disagrees with your position. You are to be congratulated, especially since you are new to this board with only 84,000 posts. Are you the progenitor of said tradition or did wifey piss in your cornflakes?
For me, I'd like to order "lunch" from the menu. Can you post it or are you too busy getting ready for the season playing guitar hero.
I totally agree with points 1, 2 ,and 3. Not sure bout 4...Hells Bells is beginning to sound so last century. (This, coming from a guy who still likes when they play Elvis Costello's "Pump It Up". How come the students don't know this 1976 masterpiece?)
1) Visually is the only way the air guitar thing works. We need noise, especially now that everyone runs a no huddle/hurry up offense.
2) Did the air guitar 3rd down song really start here?? I know I've seen other teams use it so I just assumed it was a thing throughout college football.
No Jovi...
We need something that instantly gets students up and moving and making noise. (I'm not even sure if I'm talking about third down or taking the field anymore...). But something they all love and gets them moving like all that techno crap...WAIT, THAT'S IT. I watch the student section and its techno music (or dub step, club, or whatever it's called) that gets them up and dancing...instantly. I think most of us hate it but if that's what it takes then I'll endorse it. I'm not kidding. I think we need to best techno crap song out there to get them going.
I think you'll agree if you give it some thought.
