First - Chris, rotten veggies coming your way!
Playing the fight song or any song during the time outs probably has little impact on the players. They are catching their breath and listening to AG's instructions. The music during time outs is for the benefit of the crowd. And let's face it, it's not called the sweater center for nothing. The fight song gets the majority of the crowd pumped up and on their feet. My one issue is that the DJ music is so loud that when it is followed by a song by the band, you can hardly hear the band. The band will never be able to play as loud as the DJ music. It's something I never noticed until last year when the sound system was upgraded. As a side note, I know I've heard the LSU "Neck" song a couple of times this year - which I personally like, but given where that song can go ( see the YouTube videos) I'm surprised they play it at all.
Overall, Willie Morris and the band do an outstanding job. We should be proud of what we have and we should showcase their talent as much as possible!
