The insane horn on third down

[NotInRHouse]

It is clear that the "powers that be" will stop at nothing to stop the students' third down chant including deafening the entire north side of the stadium.

The DJ or someone else is clearly holding down the horn button like a 5 year old who got his first Casio music keyboard through the entire duration of the Bells music.

This is a college football game. It is not a library. It is not a religious service. 18-22 year olds are allowed to swear. Have the "big donors" or whoever been to a Wisconsin game?

Please, the other 99% of the people prefer the chant to the horns. Let the students be excited. Give it up.

If RU fans chanted like that there would be an investigation by the school and the star ledger would probably do a three part series on the psychological damage caused by the students. Then RU would ban fans from all future games until they could establish safe zones in SHI stadium. Not joking.

and BTW - I like the horn.

Good For You

 

[RUTGERS95]

NOT is right, spot on

 

[ScarletKid2008]

The over done horn on 3rd down is rediculous. Please stop it.

 

[RUfromNJ]

Is it a coincidence that the guy in charge of game production is a grad of the institution that chant targets?

 

[JayDogSmooth]

The horn is flat out awful and needs to go. It’s the epitomie of little league and a complete embarrassmet. I literally cringe every time I hear that damn thing

This was my first thought. I don’t believe the story about “donors” complaining. Why would anyone complain about students increasing stadium noise and not all of the nonsensical piped in chatter.

 

[ClassOf02]

Uh oh, NIRH is getting old.

He’s also spot on.

 

[jtung230]

Until we have fans in the stands, they can do whatever they want.

Wait… Say that again… Is that serious??? WTF would we hire someone from there?? I seriously hope that isn’t true. I’m sorry… NO ONE from that school should be trusted when it comes to football. GS is so worried about the media having access….. JFC…

 

[FastMJ]

The horn is so bush league and stupid

 

[koleszar]

I have to agree with @NotInRHouse it was pretty fvcking ridiculous. They just blasted it from the 3rd down call to a few seconds before the snap. Besides that, this psu guy Hobbs hired sucks.

I actually like the horn, too. Don't care much either way about the chant.

PJ Mullen .. PSU apologist, same guy who played Sweet Caroline today aka PSU stadium official sing along. I thought we were over that after people brought that up with him but guess not.

 

[RUskoolie]

If I find out who is the person who does it I am going to gut punch them. It's obnoxious. My 2 girls who come to the game go sprinting to their parents with their ears covered. Why even yell on 3rd down when that jackass is just holding down the horn button for 10 second clips?

Does more to inhibit crowd noise than to increase fan volume.

 

[fluoxetine]

Not a huge fan of third down horn. But..

why are people chanting “**** Penn state” during a game against.. anyone but Penn state? That’s stupid

 

[RU-AGK]

For the record, I've been bitching about this loudly in here and in my Fan Experience Surveys since it became obvious vs. Iowa.

And yes, it is almost assuredly PJ Mullen defending the faith.

Hobbs hired a state Penn guy?

Because we f**king hate them 365 days a year. They're arrogant c*nts.

Why is that so goddamned hard?

Because it’s stupid. And kind of weird, frankly.

 

[The RUT]

What library plays a loud train horn?

 

[RU-AGK]

Because it’s stupid. And kind of weird, frankly.

Says who? You and 3 or 4 other guys in here?

WGAF?

 

[koleszar]

You know what's really weird? A psu guy running our gameday sound system and trying to bring his psu skit here. Remember the Lions roar last year? That was a classic.

 

[fluoxetine]

Says who? You and 3 or 4 other guys in here?

WGAF?

Yes, me. It’s my opinion. If you have such a boner for Penn State that you’re regularly chanting “**** Penn State” on third down during a game against Indiana you’re a ****ing weirdo.

 

[The RUT]

Purge all PSU people

 

[KeithK7624]

so is covering up child rape and then saying Joe Pa didn’t know.

 

[RU-AGK]

Comes into thread bemoaning how the horn drowning out the chant is harmful to what little organic atmosphere we have during a game.

"Everyone's weird but me!"

 

[fluoxetine]

so is covering up child rape and then saying Joe Pa didn’t know.

Ok. So chant “**** Penn State” during the Penn State game like a normal person.

 

[fluoxetine]

"Everyone's weird but me!"

…

what?

Have you ever gone to a NJ Devils game?

 

[fluoxetine]

Have you ever gone to a NJ Devils game?

Yes, once. I’m guessing they chant “**** the Rangers” or something?

Likewise - always complain when I do the fan experience surveys too.

 

[Sir ScarletKnight]

Rob Roselli was great here, and he was a psu grad.

Got an RU degree while here though!

 

[75liteweight]

Find it ridiculous that the scoreboard is imploring fans to 'Make Noise" while that obnoxious horn is drowning them out.

 

[fatsam98]

TRAIN HORN! ARE. YOU. REAADDDDYY!?!?!

 

[kupuna133]

TRAIN HORN! ARE. YOU. REAADDDDYY!?!?!

One of the most ridiculous things I have heard during pre game. Fans sitting next to us from Iowa laughed out loud. It’s embarrassing how Mickey Mouse the game day operations are.

 

[RUfromNJ]

TRAIN HORN! ARE. YOU. REAADDDDYY!?!?!

BLEGH 🤢
