Words to Alma Mater and Star Spangled Banner

Was this the first game that the words to the Alma Mater and Star Spangled were not posted as the songs were played? I was disappointed.

Do you not know them?
If the alma mater isn't known, that's one thing, but there's absolutely no reason for a need for the National Anthem to have its words put up for people to read/sing along.

You're supposed to know the words.

It was the first time that I noticed it in the past 10 years

Good, so now when I belt out every word to the alma mater people will know I know them and not just reading them off the board

I have had them both memorized since age 8.

Did they replace the words with ads?

No words, no fireworks no cannon. But the b 52 made up for everything

Everyone knows the national anthem. Prob a few % knows the Alma Mater so display the words instead of advertisements.

Forgive the memory of this old man in this case, but they’ve also changed which verses of the Alma mater are sung in the last 15-20 years

Go to Hatcher Hall..look up in the lobby, the words to the Alma mater are engraved in the walls, or at least it used to be in the mid 80s

The words to the Alma Mater was posted after the game, probably for the players who don't know the words.

I don’t sing the Alma Mater because I didn’t go to school there.

Agreed, forgot to put that in my comments for the post game survey. Alma Mater I admit I have to cheat sometimes. I think I sing it 6 times a year and almost every time I've been drinking.

you should know the Star Spangled Banner... the alma mater is for alums only who should already know it

You should know the words to the Star Spangled Banner. If not, you should be ashamed.
To answer your question, looks like they found an extra 4-5 minutes where they could run more ads.

Let’s find things to be upset about.
