Money down is not something that has caught on no matter your generation. My son and I finally agree on something. He is a 2014 graduate from the institute.

It’s something that catches on when the team is playing well and the crowd is seriously into the game. It’ll be great when we’re playing a top 10 team on a Saturday night. Not for you and me but for the 18 year old who wants to be the next big playmaker at BDS.

Did money down return again on Sat? I was watching online and didn't notice it. I'm not against having cute lines but "money down" is just so stupid and it also shows a generational gap. Maybe we said "oh man, that's money" like back in the 90s... and for us to be blaring money down, it seems so out of touch. At least update it with something more current. Just ripoff some popular lines from Tik Tok.

It beats being young? No, I’ll take young all day long every dayAnd thank God for that. As they say, it beats the alternative!

They mixed it up. Some money down and some third down.
FWIW, I’m 62 and prefer “It’s Third Down!”
Money is like a card game or a demand from a lady of the evening. That’s what I’ve heard.

I should hope it never catches on, and I have yet to see a good argument as to why recruits would find it appealing.
For what it's worth, my issue with "money down" is that it cheapens the thrill associated with the anxiety and anticipation of a crucial third down situation. What should be something serious is thus turned into a farce. It is as if you are watching the climax of some historical epic and the Benny Hill theme starts playing.

Completely disagree. In fact I was at a local high school football game in NC yesterday and every third down the announcer called out "money down". So yes you and a lot of older fans (and some younger fans) may not like it but it is apparently a thing that has caught on at the high school level now so there is obviously a generation that does like it.

College football is all about tradition and pageantry. Let football take care of football. The fans will take care of the cheering.

Whether it’s MLB, the NCAA, the NBA, or another sport, the environment is the best when the announcer is a background job and the fans make their own cheers.
The main thing to focus is that on Money Down vs NIU they were 5-12. KSU was 3-15. So we are winning Money Down by a wide margin yet yall still complain. I'm not saying everything is rainbows and unicorns, but we have been begging for a defense to get off the field on Money Down or 3rd down or whatever you want to call it and it looks like we got it......so far. The schedule does get exponentially harder from here on out, so can't we enjoy what we've done?

If we're going to do something unique over the loudspeakers, we should do something with the Wreck's "AAAWOOOOOOOOOOOGGAAAAAA" horn. While still playing Chords.

We need an analysis of 3rd down performance on "Money Downs" and when the band plays Chords. This is very important to performing at an ELITE level.The main thing to focus is that on Money Down vs NIU they were 5-12. KSU was 3-15.
