Why does the student section screw up

[57stratdawg]

The Maroon and White cheer now? It sounds awful. They don't pause after the last "Go State" and it throws the entire stadium off.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Cause they are special. Buncha snowflakes.

 

[EngDawg]

Because Millennials...

 

[BigMotherTucker]

Now?? They've always done this. It's terrible.

 

[Bcash2]

I think its a combination of poor rythm,...

The Maroon and White cheer now? It sounds awful. They don't pause after the last "Go State" and it throws the entire stadium off.

And the fact that the sound travels at different speeds throughout the stadium.

 

[QuaoarsKing]

I think it's just impossible to get everyone in that big of an area on the same beat thanks to the speed of sound. It probably sounds right in the student section.

It doesn't. They do it on purpose, and yes, it's really dumb.

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Over on the student board, they are asking why the old folks care as they are sitting the entire time anyway.

 

[Dawgbite]

Premature enunciation! It's a real problem.

 

[notoriousD_O_G]

It's because they do it on kickoffs and it has to be fast for that. The students got used to that speed so that's how we got where we are now.

Did you forget sarcasterisks? Shirley you jest about this student board...& don't we have a few current student posters?

 

[MaroonNation]

LSU can pull off their T-I-G-E-R-S chant after TD's in a stadium roughly twice as big as DWS without a problem.

Long time Pack reader, never posted. I'm a current student and here's why we 17 up all the chants:

1. It is so damn loud in that endzone. I usually sit two or three sections away from the band, and it's usually so loud that I can't hear the band play

2. ~75% of the student section is hammered

But most of it probably has to do with how the sound travels through the stadium.

 

[WeWonItAll(Most)]

I graduated in May. The problem is that the students do not pause at all in the entire song. Like they're trying to do it in a single breath.

Most of the students being drunk does not help the problem either.

 

[Junction John]

I know you're not complaining, but enjoy the loud and hammered time you have there. It won't last forever. Trust me, in a couple years you'll be in your 40's with a mortgage and a bunch of kids just hoping their frickin saturday am soccer games are over in time to watch the game.

/Which is good too, don't get me wrong, but... let's just say it's a different kind of 'fun'.

Needs to be practiced at a Pep Rally.

 

[57stratdawg]

It's definitely a pause/no pause issue. I don't know when we decided not pause after the last "Go State".

 

[MadDawg.sixpack]

They screw it up on purpose just to be dumbasses. Fact.

 

[aTotal360]

I was told that as well. I just don't know what sort of gratification you get from screwing it up. I hate us.

 

[Junction John]

I hate it too but I'd also admit I thought lots of stupid stuff was funny at 18.

I was told that as well. I just don't know what sort of gratification you get from screwing it up. I hate us.

Drink less and smoke more weed. Problem solved.

Apparently the LUS bastards only pull this off when you are listening, because I've never heard the coonasses do anything other than "rush" the "E-R-S" every 17n time. Having said that, it is still awesome. Love that cheer and also love it when their band hammers out "Hold that Tiger." Best in college football.

 

[DudyDawg]

I doubt that

 

[The Peeper]

They aren't smart enough to coordinate a screw up, bunch of dumb arse kids, get off my laaaawn!

 

[MadDawg.sixpack]

I doubt that

Then you would be wrong. They speed up at the end on purpose just to be "cute". No blaming poor sound, or speaker placement, or echo or any of those excuses. They just want to be asses. It infuriates my daughter as well who is a student.

 

[dotcomdawg]

Then it would be too slow

Drink less and smoke more weed. Problem solved.

 

[Quasimodem]

The quicker they say it the quicker they can have another sip of Evan Williams?

 

[EngDawg]

1. It is so damn loud in that endzone. I usually sit two or three sections away from the band, and it's usually so loud that I can't hear the band play

This probably does play a factor. The students' section is loud (in the first half at least). At times I struggle to even hear the jumbo-tron audio.

So 10,000+ students coordinate this every game? Get real.

 

[aTotal360]

The quicker they can leave the stadium.

Coonasses have an advantage over the rest of by the fact they start drinking for the game Wednesday. ****

I've never once heard a student say they were going to do it faster than anyone else for any reason.

 

[PBRME]

Wasn't there some students that popped up here a couple years back that said it was done on purpose? Seems like I remember that.
