We have a Damn Strong Band sitting in the stands doing nothing. The piped in music is crap and doesn't connect with 80% of the fans. The USM band had more fun tonight. This is a college stadium with the atmosphere of a cheap arena football team. Second half was a mixture of 80s rock and bad car commercial hip hop. The Alumni band got to play Hey Fighting Tigers and rocked it.

Fans will always leave a overpriced seat when its a bullshite atmosphere.

No worries - I created a thread about 5 minutes before you about the same exact thing. I'm fed up with it.

It's a terrible atmosphere with the music they're playing in between plays. The band is just sitting there and half the time you can't hear the pa announcer over the music.

Wouldn't be a big deal if it was just limited a little more. Coordinate the piped in music less. Play it for kickoffs, kick returns and timeouts. Let the band play between offensive and defensive plays and between quarters.

This is exactly what we did last year and many years prior.

I don't give a shite about if it appeals to the fans at all. But if it remotely gets a player ready for kickoff or a play by hearing a song, whether that's "Bitch I'm From Louisiana" or the damn Spice Girls, play that shite.

I will agree that their music selection is garbage, though. To be fair, they likely can't play a lot of the shite players want to hear.

However, I would say maybe 1% of all people who leave their "overpriced seat" do it because they're hearing Van Halen instead of the band for during a stoppage in play. People leave because LSU games are a major social event, people want to be seen there and say they were there, and they leave once they see it as socially acceptable.

While I agree with you that no one leaves the games because of the music selection - I can give a frick less about a social event. I go to LSU football games because those 7-8 Saturdays, win or lose, make my year.

Music's terrible, uniform's are terrible, offense is terrible. Man I hate it when we suck... Our fans will literally find anything to complain about. You won 45-10, either enjoy it. Or don't.

I agree. I hate the piped in music, the exception being "Bitch, I'm from Loweeziana" which has to be the greatest song ever written.

If the fans stay a whole game you see less piped in music! Simple

On one occasion, the LSU/ USM band were both playing, and they just started that bounce shite right over both of them. Terrible and takes away from the college football experience.

It's not about the fans...it's about what gets the guys amped to make a play on 3rd down, etc.

The band gets their time when we play offense. Doesn't seem like too many people hate the piped in music while were on defense inside the stadium.

The band played stuff that got players equally as amped. I remember when we played Florida in like 2008 and players were dancing to neck or some other stuff they used to play.
