to myself “There’s no way. I’m hearing things. It’s from the construction the neighbor is doing.” Sadly it seems I forgot that We Are ND. Of course we did something so cheesy.

Horrible.

I read yesterday that OSU was showing movie promotions.

It is the same story everywhere. The powers feel the need to have their fingerprints on the gameday.

For instance, the OSU band has played Hang on Sloopy between the 3rd and 4rth quarter since the early 1960s. It was the same for 40 years and it was fine. Now, there is a whole PA announcement and video montage before they actually start playing like you are about to witness something mystical.

Or do you still have to bring your own?

What are 'words that don't go together,' Alex?

I heard the beeping sound on TV too and thought it was from construction. That's embarrassing if they are actually playing that sound in the stadium.

It's like they go out and pluck the biggest dweebs on the planet to run these things.

How many schools would you say have that now? I could even hear it in the background of the WVU/ISU game listening to the game on the radio on the way home from South Bend. I was thinking that even ISU shouldn't have to stoop that low.

Band plays it not the jumbotron.
The students seem to like it.

I'm not a big fan.

Or a commercial break song (where they ask the players to vote)?

I don't mind that. That means it would happen once per year. That's different from making it a tradition, or a victory celebration.

OSU beat Michigan in 2016 in close hard fought game that went down to the final moments. The crowd rushed the field to celebrate. Rather than the students cheering and singing the fight song, the DJ cranked up Sweet Carolin to volume 100.

Talk about taking a dump on the moment.

I don’t know when things went so wrong.
