[Husker] Moore: Fans Too Loud

[Rod Wellman]

Kathy's post is somewhat tongue in cheek, I'd guess.

But I do have a legitimate issue to bring up.  In the 4th quarter,  
there was an instance where there was some "down time", maybe a TV  
time out or something, and the NU band started playing.  After  
awhile, the Husker vision folks decided to play some loud, blaring  
rock music WHILE the band was playing, totally drowning them out.  I  
was amazed.  With the Husker Vision stuff, the band hardly gets to  
play at all now during the game, and the one moment they found to do  
so they get drowned out by however many thousands of watts of the Foo  
Fighters or whatever it was...

And, can't they wait a few seconds before showing the replay of the  
play?  They showed it, like seconds after the play is over.  Half the  
time, I'd miss it.  And they never show them more than once, even for  
"questionable" plays, where you'd like to see it a couple of times.   
When Anderson got injured, I didn't see it happen...and I missed the  
replay.  They could have shown it a couple of times, kinda like the  
TV guys do.

One thing that is really weird about the new giant screen at a night  
game, is that when it shows something that has a mostly white  
background, the ENTIRE stadium gets lit up.  It's like a giant light  
bulb.  They should do that when opposing QBs are running their  
offense to that end zone...blind the guy :)  Or just flash something  
really obnoxious when the opposition runs a play.  Now THAT would be  
a home field advantage type of thing...without hurting our defense :)
