I know all this discussion is off-topic, but it sometimes seems like the people running “game day experience” should be running in-store promotions at Kroger instead of the atmosphere at a UD game.
I remember being in the Holiday Pep Band for games 10-15 years ago, and the team would be trailing but then go on a run that would cause the opponent’s coach to call timeout, but instead of just letting the Pep Band launch into “Victory” or another cheer song, the “man behind the curtain” in the control room next to Boesch Lounge would pipe-in “Cotton-Eyed Joe” or something like it. Of course, the crowd would go flat, and any momentum we had going into the TO would be lost, not sustained. Pi$$ed me off to no end!
Granted, that part of Game Day has gotten much better. But there’s still a feeling that the people running that part of things wouldn’t recognize Ryan Perryman, Mark Ashman, Brian Roberts, Roosevelt Chapman, or even
Don Donoher without a name tag. SMH!
