Where to begin.....The TV game did not help at all but here are the things that needs vast improvement
1) We have been in that stadium for 5 years and the sound system especially in 105 near the top is HORRIBLE. We can't hear anything being said over the PA system. We pay thousands of $ to get seats in that section and you can't hear a damn thing. Unacceptable !!! The Athletic department needs to do something immediately about the sound system. The top 10 to 15 rows in 105 is horrible.
2) Fan involvement in pathetic. Our fans didn't even cheer the team onto the field after half.
3) Band and Dance team same old pregame show...boring !!! Half time show was out of sync, looked like they hadn't even practiced together and simply was a mediocre at best show. HU had much more energy.
4) Intro was decent but it was to quite and in section 105 we could not even tell then Crazy Train was playing. The SOUND system needs major improvement immediately
5) The place felt like a funeral home...dead with no energy. Some of that was because it was a TV game.
6) I hate having the visitors on the home side. The last thing I want to see is the other teams cheerleaders, fans, and band.
7) Finally...replays Horrible. Replays of big plays should be played multiple times especially when the Defense does tackle someone heard.
How did yall like them HU dancer shaking it for yall on the home side!!! I like how the band came running out the tunnel. Miss the cannon and Jack didnt announce the team for the 2nd half. Sound system sucks in section 116 also.
8) Oh yes...no Howitzer WTH ????
9) Jack needs to go he does NOTHING to spark the crowd. Boring..........
10) Something needs to be done with the SOUND system immediately. If they have turned it down to appease the folks living behind the stadium...that is not right.

Our team clearly does not function properly without that piece of military-grade hardware to urge them on. We need it back. Now.
I'm about 1/3 of the way up in section 105 and it's like sitting in an old folks home during Sunday brunch. I'm almost afraid to stand up and yell...I'd hate for anyone to poop their diapers.
The university has not changed anything for the better.
This will be the real issue with attendance! Lack of any real Gameday Atmosphere!
I do not believe they have learned anything.
The concession stand even ran out of water in the 3rd Qt.
Totally disappointed in today.

You can't understand a word being said on the PA system in Sec 118 either.
Having a televised game is not worth sitting in that humidity in August! It was oppressive and sucked the energy out on me and many others in our section. Not to mentioned those unbearably long TV timeouts. No need to have that game on TV and should have kept our normal hot weather kick off time of 6PM.
The team has got to get back to their fast pace. They looked tentative and took too long to get plays off. I have great trepidation for next week in Raleigh.
Ankerson has got to go. Several times he announces it was 3rd down when it was actually 2nd down. The guy has marbles in his mouth.
We had better not build a new stadium anytime soon until we build some traditions and a more energetic crowd to take there. Someone needs to research ways to improve fan involvement. The Howitzer was a tradition...where the hell was it ????? The place should be jumping....before the team enters the stadium. Oh...did I mention
11) The sound system is HORRIBLE !!! I want my money back !! Can't hear a damn thing in section 105.
I'm in 118 and don't have much issue hearing anything on the PA system. Agree the crowd sucked .... Been saying it since 2009. Also agree that I'm not going to like TV games.
Basketball has the same problem. Need to get someone in there that knoes what they are doing ASAP

I thought the sound system was a known issue that they would not sink money into because of the costs to do it and we just have to deal with it sucking till the new stadium comes? The rest is spot on. Students were gone at half again.
I don't even pay attention to the PA guy. Why does it matter what he says, you can see everything going on.

Using your logic we should just have Krusty the Clown announcing. I mean what's his job anyways?

that's fine. I'm there to watch the game,I don't care about PA announcers and pregame hype ceremonies. Sure it would be nice if we had some, but I don't go to the game thinking I wish we came out to enter sandman.
The stands were pretty full, we lead the state in sell outs, and it was 85 degrees vs an FCS school with the game on TV. I'm not really concerned.
I may be one of the rare few but I liked the banging on the sign "Monarch Maniac" during defense. It was loud from atop of section 116

If you read any of my post you would see that I said nothing about pre game hype ceremonies (wtf is a "hype ceremony" anyways?). I clearly stated that the PA announcer can't even announce the correct down and distance. That's his only job as a PA announcer.
Time for a little Bobby Hollywood.
