Is a Love Train a drinking game like quarters?

I also know that the work remix by asap ferg should always be played for both fans and players. I think vegas would give any team an extra point for that extra hype. (Sorry to the non millenials that don't know a man named ferg)

Songs that should never be played at DKR:

-Sweet Caroline

-Livin' on a Prayer

-Don't Stop Belivin'

-Friends in Low Places

Any other shitty piano bar songs I missed?  Basically, if you can picture a 40-something cougar in a piano bar, waving her cosmo in the air as she screams the lyrics to this song, it should never be played at a football game.

This atrocity was in vogue the year I moved to Chicago as the White Sox anthem during their WS run.  I swore my allegiance to the Cubs that fall after hearing that god damned 'song' eleventy billion times.

Sometime circa 2012 godzillatron became briefly self aware and shut itself off for about a quarter, I can only assume out of humiliation. It was wonderful. You could actually hear things happening in the stadium again, like a real football game. I understand we can’t go back to that now, because morons, but it sure was nice.

JFC dude. This is football. Despite the defenestration of violence happening with the fucking sport, it's still all about bringing the pain. Fuck off with this love shit.

No. If they did play that shitty song they’d have to start at the “chorus”. That and the twenty seconds after are the only redeeming parts of that song

Someone needs to sit down with the new band director and explain the sport of football to him. He must be someone who has always thought playing at a football game was just practice for band competition.

I assume they just play after each down on a script because I noticed Saturday that they would play things at nonsensical times. For instance, I kept hearing them play the shortened Eyes at least twice after we gave up a first down on third down. Several years ago, the band only played that after getting a stop on third down. I also noticed them playing the little ditty they generally play as the offense seems to be gaining momentum (no idea what it's called, but they've only played it for a few years) after we got stopped for a loss.

Perhaps the moron could pay attention to the football game and see how the band could add to the atmosphere.

I always notice this. Like you said, we only used to play the first part of The Eyes after a big stop, usually on 3rd down. Now we do it all the fucking time and it’s lost its significance. And that fucking ditty they do when we are on offense is so terrible.

And is it me or did we steal a song thing from LSU/Florida? I swear I’ve heard one of things we play as the exact song one of them play too.

Yeah we've been playing "Neck" for a while now. But pretty sure LSU has banned it because the student section liked to participate.

The band needs to start to play Pat Green's Southbound 35.

I think you could make a full marching band version of that song badass (song is already baddass FWIW).

That could be a thing.

I don't care where you are but when Mo Bamba starts you know it is about to get hype.

I wish the song was better.

The horn riff from Jackson 5's Dancing Machine?

A lot of schools play that.  The youngins think it is a Yung Wun song, so it works for all ages.

Look at Jack Trice tonight for a perfect example of a phenomenal stadium atmosphere.

[RexWilson 1,348]

Band section was mic'd up. I thought it was a nice improvement. Now just give them more air time.

[Newdoc 3,457]

Way too much pumped in music vs band and chants. But overall, the game day has been cleaned up even more than last year. RIP hype-crew.

And official game attendance listed at 93k +.  No way. Lots of the olds skipped today as there was plenty of aluminum showing on the west side. Damn good seats sat empty the whole game. Terrace and club seats less than half filled.  Maybe boosters perceived they would melt in the rain and you can’t fill those seats and have the unwashed masses sitting with the established crowd.

 Crowd that was there stayed into the game pretty well though.

Yes. Adding concert monitors in the four corners was a welcome addition. First time all year we could follow the band from the north side. 

The were obviously working on dialing in the volume and delay but impressed by the effort and persistence to get it right. 

Top knotch 

[Longhorn Al 440]

They did a much better job getting the band onto the field and into their pregame show. No long pauses that ruin the atmosphere.  So, I must have been onto something when CDC saw my tweet, although a bunch of sunshine pumpers shat on me.

Also liked having the band mic'd up.

[Longhorn Al 440]

Was The Eyes just a tad slower today?

Game presentation now compared to what it used to be is fantastic. I think they have the right mix of piped in music vs band. You need to have some recorded music with bass to hype up the crowd on big downs. Can’t be just the band.

[crash_davis 23,121]

agreed.  to much techno dance contest shit during time outs.  fucking just texas fight that bitch.  fuck that music shit.

band keeps playing 3rd down music on 2nd down. Bothers me

Yep, the band director obviously doesn’t understand when the band is supposed to play. They played the taunting music after we gave up 8 yards on first down.  Even the blue hair lady in front of me was looking around and saying “wtf is the shit?”

Yep.

 

The student section was disappointing again.  The remodel is going to take away all their end zone seats it seems and that’s probably for the best.

ACL this weekend. Empty seats were inevitable.

[taybo20 2,887]

Atmosphere wasn’t bad. Getting the band mic’d was nice, bit often I couldn’t hear them and sometimes they were drowned out by the music. Then during the ref explanation of a Baylor timeout, all I heard was lil’jon instead lol.

Looked like the same amount of empty seats that were there during Tulsa and TCU too.  I know Herman threw out the ACL excuse but that appears to be our average student attendance and the USC game was above average.

It’s not a good look, taking away the student seats in the SEZ and moving those students to the large group on the East side will look at lot better.

[taybo20 2,887]

I felt like the Tulsa game had more students. But ACL definitely took its toll

[Pato del Muerto 52,663]

Next game ought to be a good crowd. Especially if we’re 7-1. 

[Longhorn Al 440]

There are always going to be empty spaces in the student sections unless we oversell tickets.  Everyone stands and just crams down as close as they can.  There could be as many bodies as there are seats, and there will still be open spaces of bleachers.  I have no idea how you fix that.

We chain the students to a certain location once they've identified where they want to sit/stand.

I couldn’t make it to Austin yesterday and was delegated to TV game surfacing during our (numerous) TOs. There were empty seats at the swamp yesterday for LSU-Georgia.

[troph 24,916]

My girlfriend looked up at one moment while my boys and I were watching the game and said, “is that a Jumbotron?” I said, “yeah”, she said, “that’s stupid.”

Glad they’ve toned it down. Might get back into season tickets soon if they keep it up.

I think your note about the olds is an important one and I'll add the lower number of students yesterday.

This was the weekend after Texas v ousux. Many had travelled to Dallas for that game. ACL was going on. A niece of someone who sits next to me dropped by, she's a student. (Neg please no pics) Students we're also in Dallas at ACL and had tests.

I was beat from last weekend. So were the olds. (I sorta am an old)  Students we're beat down from ACL, Texas v ousux and tests. It was 80 something and humid as fuck, just like last weekend.

People both students and olds didn't want to be in the heat.

Make this an evening game, olds show up a little stronger due to less heat. Students show up drunk, and I'm not grumpy as fuck about weather being hot and humid.

The time of this game was fucking terrible. Yeah yeah, TV contracts, don't we have our own fucking station?

These are the types of excuses that make our fanbase soft.   There is nothing wrong with a 2:30 kickoff.  Hell, it's the prime time game in the SEC.   

[Halohal 504]

Enjoyed the game. First for the season and on the cheap. Close enough to hear Baylor band and fans complain about homecooking. Upper deck still backed up the team. Texas Fight chant always seem to quiet the BU fans in our section

[ChickenSandwich 9,856]

Some great cringe worthy student sections shots during some of the early horrible rap songs. Like a Lil Wayne concert at a Bushwood. Yikes. 

[Patricio Swayze 17,058]

I thought the jumbotron and music had regressed a bit into the excessive category.

Also, dickhead longhorn with the annoying Baylor girlfriend, leave that bitch at home next time.

No shit. Let's not act like we were packing DKR for Baylor during the VY/Colt years, because we weren't. 

[Walte464 450]

Have to understand that ACL was this weekend, with half the student population in Dallas last weekend, this was the only weekend they could go.

[Liquor and Poker 3,659]

I like all of he people complaining about the students not going to the game because it looked bad when they saw it on TV.
