Penn State may not be the pioneer, but it's who everyone in college football thinks about.  Because when you have 100,000 people doing it on ABC primetime, it's hard to do it wrong.

Trying to do it 6 days after it being the most talked about event in the college football world, with a half full stadium, just seems like something that will be mocked more than appreciated.  That Twitter account has over 12,000 followers, and only 22 re-tweets of the idea.

At one point, Otto's Army was collaborating with the SUAD on ways to improve fan engagement.  Do they still do that?  There are enough smart minds up there to come up with something new.  Something where we can leverage our new roof, lighting, scoreboard.  That might be a way to break into something AND have the normally uninterested fans start participating.

Teams are having success with catchy songs (Jump Around, I Won't Back Down, Washington Nats do it with Take on Me).  Just spitballing, end of 1st quarter, take a song like Dancing in the Dark, turn down the lights in the place.  Get the place going, singing.  Someone make it happen.

I had a boss who once told me don't do something for the sake of doing it (that was my move, always made me look busy).  He would say to think about it and do it the right way.  I'm ALL for increased fan engagement, getting the most grumpy among the group to be excited and participate.  I wish we were an easier crowd for such things.
