Bleh While I love our traditions I think we should have taken the opportunity to bring in new blood and ideas. The Pride is but a shadow of itself, though the marching was much better this year and the shows, in general, better than recent past. However, we are STILL doing the SAME Circle Drill we have been doing since pretty much I retired from the AF (Did it twice (bamer and the Bowl game). We tried some new stuff this year but there really wasn't much imagination in the design. I do think there is little to tweak in the pregame but I am a bit tired of playing the opposing team fight song (especially since that is the only time in pregame they are playing towards me). Oh, and while we are on the Pride: Somebody at UT needs to totally rethink the entire game production concept. It is disjointed and flat unprofessional IMO. There seems to be no rhyme or reason for piped in music vs the Pride vs the jumbotron. The only thing that excited the crowd (other than Sterl the Perl during warmups) was Third Down for What? and they played that into the ground. I will say it was interesting watching 40-something and 50-something trying to do 3rd Down for What? at road games ... :hurl: |
