Tonight was something I had never experienced. Apparently they went full football mode with volume on 100....all kinds of Ozzy nonsense, all aboard, make some noise. God I thought I was going to hear a train horn. They played Bring Em Out over the fight song. That infuriated me. The incessant dance club, the one horrific one latin type song they played maybe with a minute left was the absolute worst. We were spared the Ay Ah Ay Ah at least

Whoever was in charge should be FIRED. Its not a football game. I understand that there will be a lot of piped in music but tonight was ridiculous and it better not be the norm going forward. Take that shit and gtfoh

Ok, grandpa. I didn't even notice a difference.

Considering you’ve already made it known you prefer canned to fresh, I’m going go with @bac2therac and the others who have commented in the thread.🙂
 
God nothing more cringe then the stupid Ozzie and make some noise.

That's only true in football. Not a big fan of marching bands but I like pep bands. Plus I mostly just pay attention to the game not the other stuff.
 
Does anyone not like the band? That's what makes a college sports atmosphere special. I don't get it and it's not bc I'm getting old. I loved the band at games when I was in college
Band is necessary and IS a college atmosphere as far as I'm concerned. There are times when I wish they would be quiet, but on the whole it's a part of the atmosphere that lets you know you are at a college game.

The sound of the band in our confined gym sitting amongst the students is priceless.
To not be aware of it or not care is out of this world oblivious.
I also love the dance team and piped in jump up and down music.
Room for both, keep your traditions
 
I weirdly didn't notice what you guys are talking about outside of a couple of the cringeworthy make some noiseeeee. And I despise this kind of thing more than anyone.

it was noticably worse last night than any other game I have ever been to


there needs to be a balance...the wonderwall thing is good, a few other songs but whoever had control last night must be stopped.

But that’s just it.

The “other stuff” you continue to poo poo in Football and now Basketball IS what makes it different and more importantly makes it OURS.

We all realize the canned stuff is “hear” to stay whether we like it or not.

So I think what many would like to see is more of a balance. With a slight lean to the “ole’ college try” aspect of the experience.

* and obviously not true. since you were outed with your t-shirt begging. LOL

Wish I could like this post 1000 times. Noticed it right away at the St. John's scrimmage and it continues. Just let the RAC be loud everyone there knows their job and makes plenty of noise any time we need it. Pumped in stuff actually quiets the crowd.
 
Can never really hear the Jim Valvano introduction. Shame. It’s unique and cool.

And why in the world R they still using Our House, our State, video, when it should be R House, R State? Attention to details. Fix it.

At the risk of sounding like an old man much rather hear the pep band. Our fight song is better than most. Should play it as much as possible.

This is the part they don't seem to get

Has anyone complained to whoever is in charge of this sort of thing? Maybe they are just oblivious bc they don't get feedback about it
 
It was horrible last night. Hardly ever gave the band opportunities to play. This is a COLLEGE athletic event. It isn’t a Nets game, it isn’t a minor league baseball game. The obsession with the scoreboard CRAP for football and basketball is a disaster! I hate it. The volume is nuts. I’m begging them to stop. Went to USC and lots of band and scoreboard used sparingly. BAC you are dead on with this. Something to be done!
 
Maybe it is what the players want.
LOL! If the players don't like what's being played they can stuff $100 bills from their NIL accounts in their ears.

And before anyone jumps on me, I've already voted with my wallet and dropped football season tickets because the atmosphere just pisses me off at this point. I'm getting into games on a buddy's kid's guest pass for students when I'm able. Up until this year I've had some kind of ticket package since '92 but it was hard for me to justify as I do not agree with NIL at all (I know it's going nowhere) and it became impossible for me with the advent of the PJ Mullen era at RU.

When that clown is fired I'll probably look into renewing on some level but not before.

My Wife’s cousin, who is a Minnesota alum, joined me for the Football game.

I told him early prior to kickoff, jokingly mind you, sorry about the volume. We’re in 219 up and away from the scoreboard. Before the first half was over he had paper stuffed in his ears because of how loud it was.

Maybe a bigger crowd absorbs it but it was loud enough to him he needed to do something.

They get plenty of feedback. The guy in charge does not care. He also has nothing and no one to fear now that there is no AD. He was bad to begin with but this year he is off the rails.
