Are the sound systems better in other stadiums? Stadiums are large enough for the speed of sound to be an issue.
Thoughts from the game after a little sleep.

I’m far from a prude but not sure we should be blasting the n word and the f word like that.
That's my point. In Knox Oxford and Tuscaloosa the speakers are above most sections. The sound only has to travel a few hundred feet in any direction.
State has one set of speakers in the south end zone for the entire stadium. ...and I'm pretty sure they're sparkomatics.

Earplugs or not, my ears still ring so I personally can't stand the cowbells.
But they are who we are and they are SPECTACULAR.
Someone posted earlier that it would be nice to get our other running backs involved. Agree, they looked good against ULM.
Perhaps they have not grasped the system well enough or can't block well enough for K1.

Can we get 'Shout' added back to the Playlist?***
My gripe is the fan behind me who holds their bell at my ear level and rings constantly. Hold it high dubmass!
Yep. It's not appropriate under any circumstances. Lots of kids at the game and after a while, it becomes their norm. And I suspect most adults don't find it OK in such a public setting.
My take on the cowbells. I was fortunate enough to sit in an endzone suite last night. However, three kids had cowbells inside the suite and rang them EVERY play with enthusiasm. Talk about echoing off the walls! It was miserable, but who’s gonna be the jerk to bust those kids up? Get off my lawn - right?
Agree on all except 2. I could hear everything. Not nitpicking you, but I do give credit to Selmon, I thought the entire atmosphere was great
Yes and super loud near them but with croud noise it dissipates. I agree with more better and then they wouldn't have to be as loud for the fans right next to them.
That's the worst. I've moved sections before because of that. That and he had the big aluminum bell. Miserable
We sit in scoreboard. The music is loud as crap, but the audio from the ref was the worst it’s ever been. I couldn’t understand a single call all night.
The PA I could hear fine except on a big play when the crowd drowns it out.

One thing. Our base offense is a read option offense. That means almost every play when the running back lines up next to the QB it can be either a run or pass and it is up to the QB to read the numbers in the box and a few other things. Missouri ran a light box almost the whole game. That calls for the QB giving the back the ball. K1 did his read and gave the ball to Fluff. He needs to learn that in that situation due to time left and timeouts he needs to go against the read and keep the ball for a pass or him running. I do think he is battling an injury and is being very judicious about running himself right now. It is not Lebby's decision at that time.
Pretty good. Had two good punts early, a third that probably should have been downed inside the 5 or 10. One got away from him and went 59 yards for a touchback. I feel certain coaches told him to punt that last one out of bounds so they couldn't return it, so it was short but served it's purpose.
What happened to Hill? Did he get injured?
I don't think he's had a carry since the first game.
He’s a 4th string true FR. Those guys don’t get snaps in the real games. His time will come. But it’s not this year.
From where I sit it sounds like we are trying to rattle the trunk lid on our charger with the bass. Sounds like the speakers are on the verge of blowing out. Turn the volume down a tad so there isn’t so much overpowered distortion and it will clear a lot of that up
Nope. That ad was for Bullock Toyota. Bullock sold and the new owner moved the dealership to Philadelphia and renamed it Docs Toyota. Crowson Ford now occupies that space outside of downtown Louisville
I also suspect we were trying to avoid a return on that last one. It wasn’t ideal, but there were much worse possibilities and we’ve experienced it pretty recently.
Reggie wasn’t a left footed punter. What about Ethan reminds you of Reggie??
btw, on a sad note, had no idea Roby died of a heart attack over 20 years ago.
Maybe the booming punts?Reggie wasn’t a left footed punter. What about Ethan reminds you of Reggie??

Other than the obvious, body type and the Way they wear their uniform. Single digit number and the booming punts.Reggie wasn’t a left footed punter. What about Ethan reminds you of Reggie??
Granted, it was ULM, but I figured he maybe moved up after that. I still can't believe he hasn't had a single carry, even if he is lower on the list.
We can't keep using Fluff as much as we are. He won't last the entire season.
I sit in section 2, the speakers are loud af there lol but yeah we're like 6 feet from them.
That was the best environment ive ever been in, hands down.
As an alum of the FMB, the band having lights on their shoulders and having an overhead drone shot of the drill was 17ing amazing to me.
The lights everywhere in general were 17ing amazing. Fantastic job Mr. Selmon et. al.
My cup didn't smell, idk what that's about.
The fans absolutely don't understand when to ring. I think we did about a B grade on ringing, BUT a lot of the snaps they only rang for a couple of seconds starting when the center was over the ball. Ring literally from the snap until the center gets back over the ball on the next play guys.
Why dont we do cheers anymore? There was one half a'd maroon white and we just don't do maroon white fight fight fight on kickoffs anymore. Why?
And yeah, incredibly glad we had so many recruits there that night.

Ive done this in the past to people in front of me who were being Aholes. Like this week where they tried to fight everyone who walked in front of them. How do you report fans be btw? No specific reason, just asking...
Yeah the lights on the band uniforms looked awesome and the halftime performance using the drone was great too.
I don’t think we have anyone who can come close to his blocking & maybe receiving too. If we think KT1 is getting a lot of pressure now…..
Smoot might have been one of the most fundamental tacklers we've ever had. Always squared up, and then straight to wrap up the legs.
We are getting so much better at this than ever before... finally. I've been complaining for years about our lack of organization and missing huge opportunities that are obvious, like this. Jans also had the two 5-star basketball recruits there, which is so smart.
From that kind of easy stuff, to letting the fans know there was an open hoops practice, having Hardy play a concert the night before the Bama game and NOT scheduling it against another school event, and many other things - we seem to be getting our shiit together and it shows. I guess Selmon gets most of the credit for this, but who woulda thunk it, maybe having intelligent, reasonable people who are willing to put in work around the organization (Charlie Winfield being one) is actually paying off.
I politely turned around mid-second period and asked her to raise it high when she rang it. She acquiesed politely and apologized, then left at half and ne'er returned.
I thought using the drone pre-game for over head shots of the stadium was pretty cool too. Gave it the feel of the big Goodyear blimp games I grew up with.
I had an obnoxious Tennessee couple in front of me last year and adopted the low ringing tactic and they relocated before halftime….I’ve got one of the 40 year old big bells and it comes in handy for situations like that.
On reporting fans they generally put a number you can text on the Jumbotron before the games.
