In game experience: let's be honest

Having that DJ play that setlist was pure pandering but what makes it even worse is the bright minds never considered if Grambling fans would like it. They were just as turned off as everyone else. GSU fan base skews older, family units, traditional, rural and conservative. That playlist was for the girls barely dressed who couldn't wait to twerk and a club on NoGo (north of Govt) The music playlist before the game wasn't broken, songs that represented louisiana or that increased the energy.
Beyond that the whole in game experience was terrible. For those of us there for a football experience, terrible replays. No highlights of college games. No scoreboard ticker. For those there for social or as a family event, terrible pageantry. No alma mater or national anthem words or colors, band wasn't loud, PA wasn't loud, no fireworks, and yes the emcee was a rookie but her mistakes compounded the issues. This many mistakes signal it was all done on purpose.

Brian Kelly has lost control of everything.

I just submitted my post game survey expressing my annual gripes about fan experience. Nothing ever changes as a result of these surveys and in fact LSU is going backwards instead of forward.

And end the goofy emcee screech owl stuff.

I have been complaining about that for the last several yrs, especially few replays. Did not used to be that bad.

I am convinced that they won't do away with the emcee chick, despite what I am sure is them receiving a ton of backlash.
If she disappears for the next home game, I will be shocked.

I think the DJ and emcee are here to stay. They built a special DJ booth in the student section after all. For all the mistakes the emcee made, an emcee is probably needed to string together all the in game segments they present.
The pandering to GSU with the terrible DJ playlist *without even understanding their fanbase* was just unforgivable. Imagine last year when Tenn came to town we decided to bringing in a DJ to play bluegrass music so their fan base can feel engaged and get turnt up. But instead of play bluegrass they play sweet home alabama and make everyone including Tenn mad. That's what happened.
BTW, I don't think many will care but SU put on a superb in game entertainment. They have those lights that Bama does *kind of*, and this past Saturday--in a game that was sold out--their fans left very pleased with the experience

Just boo the shite out of her every time the emcee starts to talk until "they" get the message.

Can someone explain to me what this DJ actually did? How was it different than last year?

You're not changing anything by complaining on the Rant.
Send the complaints to the Athletic Department......

Only issue was that we thought they were uncomfortable as shite compared to the foam ones.

We get the opportunity to respond to the game quality survey….my wife sent a very clear description of our complaints…
Much more direct comments than what I wrote.. first time she gave them that many “1”…… I am aware of others expressing similar concerns on their surveys..
The use of the side banner for commercials at the expense of scores.. alma mater.. pledge of allegiance… where made pretty clear also..
Pretty sure they are getting an earful…

They brought in the DJ from the local hip hop radio station. I believe they did so seeking to pander to GSU without realizing rural HBCU and their fanbases are wildly different than urban ones. In previous years the playlist was a variety of songs across all genres that either celebrated Louisiana (Calling BR, LA Saturday Night, I'm from Louisiana) or portions of songs most people know meant for energy (Yall gon make me lose my mind up in here). Other than Calling BR and Louisiana Saturday night, that entire playlist was scrapped for booty shaking and how to fight rap songs so obscure and perverse that GSU fans were turned off. That along with other things that change made the experience at best mid, as the kids would say

Sounds like a disaster.
Glad I watched it from home.

Look I am going to the games no matter what.
But I am sick of them pandering to the "culture". Culture is not who pays for the tickets. But the whole world panders to culture now.
What do I know..........I am 50 something that they dont care about....except my cash.

The voice of the girl with the dj was so shrill it was painful to listen to her.
