Bob Cole was a shitty PA. I'm sure he's probably a good guy. But it was an unnecessary, bad feature for the game environment. 

I recall he got all pissy on the air after we shitcanned Steve Patterson, voicing his displeasure with the decision.  So probably not a good guy.

Get rid of DJ DipShit and you'll have my interest. 

Mute the Jumbotron and you have my attention. 

 

Seriously, the only sounds I want to hear are:

 

Crowd roars.

Whistle blows play dead. 

PA announcer: Pass by ________ caught by ________ for ____ yards. Tackled by ___________.  ______ down and __________.  

Band plays. 

 

During timeouts I'll allow PA announcements about how badly OU or Piggie or Aggy is getting stomped. 

That fucking DJ needs to DIAF get gored and trampled. Fuck him.

I would subscribe to your news letter, but it sounds exactly like mine. Best thing I ever did was unplug my center speaker on my surround sound during sporting events. I get all the crowd noise and filed sound without the bullshit talking. 🤘🏼

It's amazing that Cole's annoying, clown-like schtick was allowed so long in the PA role. 

He's insufferable and that's putting it mildly. 

It was maddening.  His over the top corny Texas accent bullshit would irrationally piss me off during the game.  Especially when we weren't playing well.  I have no doubt we'll bitch about the next guy but there is simply no way it can be worse.  Every time I filled out one of the post-game surveys I complained about Bob Cole.  I know I wasn't the only one.  I'm glad our hard work paid off.   He can yap all he wants during halftime band performance - I'll be in line to buy beer in any event.

If I wanted to hear a "DJ", I'll go to a club. If I want to go to a football game, I guess I'll go to Friday Night Lights. At least until HS football has DJs and Jumbotrons. 

 

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go write some checks and read my newspaper.

The only time I think I cared what the announcers said was 1994 when we were wiped out after the Colorado game we're sitting there and I hear the PA announcer say "Colorado Rushing stats, Rashaan Salaam, 317 yards ...." and I looked at my friend and said "Did he just say 317 YARDS?"

And looks like they now have 2 "In Game Co-Host".  Because the one idiot last year announcing the first down Texas Fight shit wasn't annoying enough.  Baylor does that shit.  We don't need to celebrate every first down.

SMH.  Clearly we are all just a bunch of old men yelling at clouds, but I'll never understand why we don't just have someone to simply announce down and distance and whatever other factual information is warranted at the time without gimmicks or over the top emotion. It's really not that difficult.

Gameday at DKR can be such a beating sometimes. It's really only worth going these days if you know we're going to crush some lesser opponent (which hasn't happened much in the last 15 years), or if it's a big game (LSU, Bama, Georgia, etc.)

I attended every game 2007-11 as a student and while it was already very much candied up and riddled w/ taco bell gongs blaring, the gameday experience was still more about the actual game than DJ Douchebags and Gameday On-Field Hosts as it is now. This generation's attention span can be measured in milliseconds, but at least the students actually come to the games now I guess. Now get off my lawn.

Also, fuck whomever took away the Cronkite commercials. Criminal.

As long as they figure out how to black out the sky at the end of third quarter Saturday for the drone show, I’m happy 

You’re on your own for blackouts on this one, unfortunately. Or fortunately. I don’t want to judge.

I was bitching about this stuff at a home game about five years ago, and an 80 year old man in front of me turned around and said “This shit isn’t supposed to appeal to us. This is for the people who don’t come to watch football.”

He was very wise.

It’s better now than it’s ever been you boring fucking schmuck. The lack of boring shit you boomers bitch you want in a gameday makes for a shit atmosphere that you say stuff like “we had that one really loud game vs X opponent in 1992”

Yep. The blue hairs want the carpet and wood paneling back in the locker rooms too I’m sure.

I can live with or even enjoy the DJ and on-field hosts etc, but fuck whoever decided that crowd shots after every single play are necessary.  Especially at the expense of replays.
