A thousand likes! And everything is scripted, no matter what is happening in the game. The pep band and DJ should have sole ownership of the time outs, and use their instincts to enhance the game, or at the very least, cheer us up! I remember there was a really big game a few years ago, the Dome was packed, we were ahead and someone made a great play. The opposing coach instantly called a time out, and just as instantly the PA system blared the Four Tops, "Can't help myself." The crowd was on its feet singing and clapping, and even though the lyrics were a little odd, the energy was great.

Now there's a time out, what? A commercial, 20 seconds of "The Final Countdown" by the pep band, and then a hideous "cheer." As one poster said earlier, other schools seem to have standard cheers they all bellow lustily. I noticed this at the Final Four. We were the only school that didn't.

Now to end on a bright note, I do think that despite this the Dome crowd can be fantastic. The Wake Forest game last week is a fine example of an exciting game, lots of offense, hysteria, anxiety and people cheering their lungs out. And the outcome was suh-weet!
