So we've heard 3rd Down For What for the last time this year, do we keep it next year

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

Honestly, I think we should keep it one more year. It gets the fan base fired up, the team loves it, and it's gotten some media attention. The subtle things like that definitely play a hand in recruiting, especially when players are on campus to watch the game.

However......

I will play my own devil's advocate here. Does anyone think it's counter-productive on 3rd downs? What I mean is, right when it's 3rd down, the music cues up. The crowd isn't loud until the music stops playing, they are too busy dancing. This gives the other team time to discuss the play. An effective crowd gets loud while the other team is trying to discuss the next play. You don't want the offense to be able to hear what the QB is saying. The crowd isn't loud until they line up to snap the ball.

But I'm digressing. Keep it? Or leave it? And is it counter-productive?

It's run its course

 

[Boca Vol]

I hope that was it! Enough!

 

[Dustin4Vols]

Next year will be foreigners song "feels like the first time" to "feels like a first down"

Trash it, all it really does is make the fans dance...they need to get loud quicker instead of dancing like a bunch of bafoons

 

[Hacksaw]

I think it's time to move on.

 

[cwbytruckers]

I'm kind of sick of the whole thing. Everytime you watch a sporting event someone is playing it.

 

[GBO1988]

Move on! It's a fad. Bring back rocky top! GBO

 

[Slydell]

Be gone.

 

[jonnon111]

Well, not what I expected from VN, but I am truly never surprised on here.

Keep it. Gets fans up and moving. Players like it. And our 3rd down D was pretty good this year if I recall correctly. Its not like we quit playing rocky top.

 

[Remy]

1 and done, move along.

Next year will" kick those nuts" by Richard Draggen

 

[Other_Guy]

Little tired of rivala making fun of it...

And the fact they play it, there's a penalty and immediately play it again

 

[GrowVol]

Bury next to the smokey greys.

 

[majorvol]

It got me fired up... but I'm old.. Whatever it takes we did improve on 3rd down D..

 

[Ten_Titans]

The players like it?

Yeah yeah, there's nothing college kids like more than rocking out to songs over a year old.

We are done with it.

 

[camp_steveo]

I say keep it, but use it sparingly. Mix it up a bit.

 

[GAVol]

Kill it so I don't have to watch that awkward stadium dance that goes along with it.

 

[Biopsyman]

Kill it so I don't have to watch that awkward stadium dance that goes along with it.

Kinda hoping some flashing by the ladies would have mixed in

 

[SDV]

This alumnus wants to keep it

Have you seen the video?


video needs to go.

I couldn't disagree more. One of the funniest videos I've ever seen!

 

[Brojan]

I loved it....keep it....or find a replacement....I liked having something for 3rd down.

 

[Coug]

I say we probably don't get a vote regardless and it'll be up to Butch and company to decide.
