We need something to improve pre-game atmosphere...... |

As I watch Virginia Tech's, I realize this is something that's been severely lacking in the
Croom Era. Sherrill's wasn't bad, but they normally had some kickass music playing and at least the mascot would fight on the 50 yard line to Bad to
the Bone.
Now all we have in the giant helmet and some smoke. What do you think could be added, that fits MSU?

Championship.

we need to take advantage of the Air Force base and have some serious fly overs. I'm talking stealth bombers people. When we get the new video board we
need to have a pro-done highlight video. With good music and combo of Jack/Sly talking with some kind of dramatic music.

Even Ole Miss has a good thing going with their celebrity-of-the-week doing the "Are You Ready.." thing to start hotty toddy.
How much would we have to pay Will Ferrell to record some kind of "hello mississippi state gimmie more cowbell" thing? That would go off like a rocket. I can't see him refusing for a paltry sum. Come on... This is not hard. Mostly we need to something, pretty much anything, that's new (new to us) and fun. |

And I know we couldn't get the stealth bomber. I've seen it at an airshow years ago. Very strange. Even knowing which direction it was coming from
you could barely see it until it got right up on you. And you couldn't hear it at all until it flew overhead. Even then it was just a faint whoosh sound.
It was awe inspiring, but not in the way that would work at a football game. More in the way that just makes the crowd go silent.

here we go again? What do you want to see? That jackass with the microphone on the 50 again? Yea that went real well. Flyovers happen at hundreds of stadiums
around the country and in every sport. I bet your the guy who blows up the helmet every game. Way to go..........seriously way to go...........

Call it a training exercise | #8 | ||

The MS National Guard has access to several Army helicopters, they can call it a training exercise. I cannot remember which game it was, but a Chinook was
doing circles over the campus before the game and then left. The Egg Bowl game was neat too when the Blackhawks did a real flyby! All the school has to do is
ask, and I am sure it can happen. The Air NG has a lift unit, and having one of those cargo aircraft scream over the stadium would surely get everyone's
attention!
I don't think the gameday experience will be the same without those amazing flybys by our previous president! You aren't satisfied with the mascot riding a dog house to the fifty? Me neither. Hopefully he isn't wearing a 7 jersey anymore either! Perhaps retire Tonka and put a bulldawg out there without arthritis. I seem to remember "Bully" leading the team to the 50. |

and gets everyone to at least cheer before the start, which I guess is the point. Of course every now and then they do a completely lame one, like Kermit
the Frog. But Snoop Dogg was awesome.

but we need like 5 of em'. Doc in his bi-plane was just embarrassing. Just like everything that man did. Up to date music would help also. I can remember
one game in JWS era we played "Get Ya Roll On" or whatever and the whole team was doing the hand thing that went with it. I bet the legions of old
people that make up our fan base would object though.

Of course they would object. Look at Bama and Sweet Home Alabama, do you
think anyone on that field gives a crap about that? Strictly for the musically challenged to show off their ability to insert RTR into any piece of Americana.

I think the gameday atmosphere could be enhanced simply by coordinating it better.

Hey new to the site, but I think we should play who let the dogs out a minute before our entrance...I mean when they played it at the egg bowl last year alot
of people joined in and it got pretty loud. I've got other ideas for pregame stuff but none are worth mentioning until we have a new
videoboard/soundsystem. Oh and by the way I find the blowup helmet kinda gay.

How about waiting until the visiting team comes out on the field before MState comes out? How hard is that?

Our whole pre-game is just embarassing. Our band is miserable they get out there and play some musical number about songs from the 50s or something that
nobabody cares about instead of just playing stuff the fans can cheer to. I still do not understand why they will not play the "Hey, Go State" song
before the game. It is the only cheer that everyone loves. Also when the team runs out the band should have their backs to the players and playing toward the
seats. You can't hear a damn thing they are playing because they are playing at each other. Of course I do not expect the band to do anything right cause
that whole department just hoped off the short bus.
And the inflatable helmet, pop that SOB and tear it into a million pieces it is horrible |

Jackie used to do the same when he was a visitor - run out while the home crowd is cheering and avoid the boos that way.

..anything to make the visitors come out and run onto the field first.
Even better, do individual player introductions, like in basketball. That way, the visitors HAVE to come out and run onto the field when the HOME team makes them. |
