3rd down for what needs to die. It's atrocious and embarrassing. It's not good for recruiting either, Lil John is a joke to that generation.

Hey you think you can just jump in the football forum and no one would notice? What happened to deleting your account?

We need something that doesnt need to be changed every couple of years

A chant or a song the band can play to signal to the crowd to get loud.

I'm for everyone in the stands holding up 3 fingers and standing up. Everyone in the stands with their hands in the air yelling their asses off. That seems to do pretty good.

I like the three fingers, but would rather hear dead silence. Kind of like the quite in a movie when they add the slow mo effect. Then when the pads crack and we make the stop, roar. Will never happen, but silence is very underrated.

How about screaming to top of our lungs when opponents have the ball and educational video on how not to try to start the wave when we have ball.

I think Welcome to my house will be the new song on 3rd down. Tweaked up some of course.

3rd down for what would still be okay and not have burned people out so quickly, if they didn't play it every single damn 3rd down. It should have been used situationally... key 3rd downs, when the crowd is out of the game, etc.

4-5 times a games it would be more effective and people wouldn't get tired of it.

All those false starts and motion penalties on Oklahoma last year would suggest that insanely loud noise is also underrated. ;-)

Dead silence in a packed Neyland would be creepy as hell. I kinda want to see that happen at least once.

Third Down for What was fun and enjoyable for the first season that they did it, but it just needs to go away now. The novelty of it has worn off and last year there was a noticeable decline in the amount of people getting "hyped up" when the song came on as there was in the year prior.

Obviously not at the OK game.

Thought we were talking third downs. There will be plenty of noise and penalties related to noise on other downs.

Third downs have a psychological factor to them. Silence the crowd during a football game, on third downs, and let the opposing QB start hearing himself think? Feel everyone staring? Allow the QB to hear the huffing and snarling of men on defense inching closer to the line? I would bet money that if a hush fell over the stadium we would watch the opposing team commit false starts, forget play calls, burn time outs, miss assignments, run the wrong routes, etc. It would be eerie for them.

And no, no one is like the Sheriff. Especially not a young man in college, in hostile territory, in front of 102,000 plus orange clad fans. The QB would not be able to more easily run his offense under those circumstances and in that void.

You miss some of the games from 2008-2012? Silence was deafening, and definitely creepy. Granted, the NTSU game last year felt like I was sitting at home by myself watching the game, but it was also a late season nooner....and it was NTSU.
