is there history behind it being shot off at the end of every quarter?

it makes sense to fire it off when we score but it seems like the only reason to shoot it between quarters is either history or a bored crew wanting to scare everyone so they can get their laughs in. it's not even one of those things where you jump and then laugh about it, instead you jump and think, "well, we're down by 20...that was ridiculous"

and while we're at it, what's the deal with whole crowd yelling "first down" every time we get a first down? I mean, we hardly get any these days so whenever we do, it almost sounds like we're all excited just to get a first down which is kind of pathetic because I mean you'd never see that at like Texas or somewhere else just at UNT. sigh.

Are you sure about that? I believe that TT does it, among others. This is not something that we are alone on.

Because it is FUN!

It is probably one of the few "whole crowd" participation things we have. I think that is always a good thing!

Our stadium announcer told me he borrowed the idea from now retired NFL ref (and before that SWC ref) Red Cashion. Here is his Wikipedia entry.

      WBB at Oregon (11/12/24)

      The 2-0 ladies deserve a game thread. After taking care of business against two D1 opponents this week, they travel to Eugene to play an Oregon Ducks team in what should be a winnable game. The Lady Ducks are 2-0 after wins over California Baptist and Nevada, but are coming off a season in which they finished last in the Pac-12 at 11-21, 2-16 and lost in the conference tournament to Colorado, 79-30. After SFA transfer Kyla Deck led the way against Alcorn State with 27 points, the ladies used a much more balanced effort yesterday to beat Texas Southern. Four were in double figures: Moore with 20, Wooten with 16, Hardaway with 15, and Lampkin with 11. The ladies play at a fast pace but still are too sloppy with the ball from what I picked up yesterday. This will be a great opportunity for a win against a power conference opponent.

      Yes he did. It would be assisting to not acknowledge it. But notice he also said the result wasn’t satisfactory “the last couple of weeks.” It has been two years.

      Prediction vs Army

      ESPN line is down to Army -3. I wonder if this is based on any knowledge of their QB1 being out for the game?

      You need to listen to that again. Notice that he specified in what ways he was doing a fantastic job--he is a hard worker, etc. But he clearly stated that the defensive performance was unsatisfactory.

      That was not my takeaway from that coach speak answer. What I did takeaway was that he wasn’t considering a change during the season. He also said Caponi was doing a “fantastic” job.
