In my opinion, things ran a lot better last night.I think the gameplay planning is just scattershot. I don't see any real plan, at least any that I can understand.
Ditto. Get rid of that goofball, he's completely unecessary and frankly sucks.The sound system did play music over the band on third down at least a few times. I am not a big fan of the on field DJ/Host.
You really need to stop this.While we’re discussing this
- Aside from one-off occasions like the “all the way turnt up” night, does the DJ motivate the players? The songs do nothing for me as a fan. On the other hand, I never enjoyed the organist playing “charge” at baseball games—I thought the crowd was it’s own thing, and I don’t want to be bossed around by someone in the booth
- Likewise, if we can’t figure out to make noise on 3rd down, do we need a hint from the matrix board?
- I’d be happy with the bands, and possibly a supporters section like at Soccer games.
- One exception—UGA’s band. They can stay home for games at our stadium. They’re just rude,

I end up agreeing with EVERYTHING you say and that is messing with my personal identity.
Jack White in whatever iteration gets the pulse going.The night game production was so good last night. Loved the LED light shows and the DJ was very responsive to what worked (outside of drowning out a great, organic YELLOW JACKETS chant). The crowd ate up that Seven Nations Army dubstep mix. Last night’s game made me borderline emotional at multiple parts from pre-game to field rush.
Bet it sounds great down on the field!I have now heard Brent Key specifically mention at least three times that the music in the stadium was a big part of what he thought made the atmosphere so great on Saturday.
I was around the 30 on the home sideline, lower section (16 rows up from the wall) and I don't remember the music ever being excessively loud.Bet it sounds great down on the field!
Wonder how much those tickets cost?
Aside from the loss, Bobby Dodd is close to losing loyal fans. My grandpa has bought our 5 season tickets for 30+ years, and we have gone to pretty much all home games in the worst of years (Collins)
My grandpa started complaining about music choice and volume in the last couple years. It was bad but part of the “culture” so we wrote it off for recruiting. But,
This past couple home games have been an absolute ear violation in every way. The attempts at compiling modern songs at max volume has left us, and the people around us, simply covering our ears and shaking our heads. After all the years, up and down, I have never heard my grandpa mention disliking the atmosphere. Today he told me “can you actually consider this music?” and that it’s so unpleasant he doesn’t think he can do it anymore. He said this while we were winning, so it wasn’t an emotional lash-out.
I feel like I can speak for the youngish fans and say I absolutely despise the music. But I have to ask, who is it for? Are we trying to appeal and to the college age kids and just doing a terrible job? It’s seriously SO bad. There is zero chance the kids like the full on treble violence that comes from the speakers that are decibels from leaving the stadium full of bleeding ears.
Batt. If you’re reading this, please at least crank it down a notch.

I agree with this second paragraph. We need to be more consistent and even add some more traditions. Maybe a cheer lead or hype guy/girl for the student section. Lead cheers for the “swarming of the jackets” like the “calling of the dogs” or other cheers other teams have.I think the gameplay planning is just scattershot.

I always bring up the ND in game experience, but they do it extremely well. They do the same thing every opponent third down. They do the same thing every third down stop. They do the same thing on every ND first down. They do the same thing every time the opponent has a false start, offsides, etc. The PA guy knows what to do. The band leaders know what to do. The guy running the video board knows what to do. It is almost like they make a plan, then have gameplay planning/strategy sessions with all of the people involved so that they are all coordinated. Sarcasm intended. GT gameday looks haphazard.
