I know the cowbell idea has been roundly thrashed here (it's been done by other schools, it's high schoolish, etc.), but I like the idea. Imagine how loud it would get if even half the folks at the Doyt started ringing cow bells as the opponents broke the huddle on third down.
Take it a step further ... how about if, as the opponents break the huddle, the announcer gives the crowd it's cue ... "Fullllllll Pullll!!!" and the crowd begins the cacaphony? Nice tie in to the community, I think. Plus, it'd be a lot of fun ... and create some natural sponsorship opportunities (Hello, John Deere? Wanna supply 10,000 cowbells?)

Dude, that would ROCK. That would, seriously, be so cool.1987alum wrote:how about if, as the opponents break the huddle, the announcer gives the crowd it's cue ... "Fullllllll Pullll!!!" and the crowd begins the cacaphony?
I've never ridden a tractor in my life, but a sense of place is so important.
This is a way cool idea.
I wonder if there is a song that would tie to that somehow...
Thinking out loud... what about "Bad Motor Scooter" by Montrose (which, incidentally, played Perry Stadium 30 years ago. Sense of place and all that...)?

Anyway, I think it would be cool, too. I mean, I don't know why some folks get upset when people poke fun at BG for being in the middle of a cornfield. We are. It's a farming community. I say, embrace it, make it ours and have some fun.
I can imagine the Bobcats breaking the huddle, hearing "Fulllllll Pulllll!" and the roar of a tractor engine going at 10,000 RPM followed by 10,000 cowbells rattling through The Doyt. I'm telling you, it would rattle a lot of players.
I'd love to get an e-mail off to those in charge (Mr. Krebs) with regard to Sat.'s format. My day was half ruined by the loud, loud, loud, rock music and the blaring voice of the annoucer (who. apparenty, still can not pronounce Omar's name correctly). SEND ME SOME ADDRESSES IF ANYBODY KNOWS THEM. I searched the program and found nothing. And yes, I SHALL BE TACTFUL!
