Quote Of The Day
-
“We remember the Sugar Bowl, I think it my junior year of high school, we let Alabama beat us twice,” Brinson said of a team that also lost to the Crimson Tide in the SEC Championship game. “We’re not letting Alabama beat us twice. In the Sugar Bowl in 2018, they… thought they should have been in the playoffs and lost to Texas.” -- AB-H, 12/27/23

Get The Picture 
If it’s anything like G-Day, then the folks in the club level (underneath those speakers) are in for a long year.
I will just assume we handle this as cluelessly as we have the rest of the gameday experience in Athens. We all know the litany of easy fixes that could be implemented, but just can’t seem to happen.

Also, tasteful means different things to different folks.

They really should give out free ear plugs for the people near the speakers. My seats are in 309 and last year we could not even talk to each other. New speakers will cause ear bleeds.

The UGA wine and cheese crowd tend to come out when this topic is discussed. I’m not sure what should be done to make Sanford more raucous for the opposing team, but right now playing UGA in Athens isn’t as intimidating as it should be. Playing a bad Tennessee team in Neyland is still shaky. Not sure I can say the same for UGA.

How does playing ear splitting music help the non wine and cheese crowd get fired up. The LSU game last year was the loudest day game in my 50 years of games. It would help if the damn D would not waste 150 decibel screaming with another f up on 3rd down.

Hearing loss is a big deal. If the fans are cheering I like it loud but too much artificial noise says our fans are not into the game. I come earlier and watch the entire pregame show so I support the hype but the fans make it hostile canned music does not.

This like everything else the AD and the administration try to do to make up for years of pissing on fans will not end well. You can fire up 16,000 students and irate 74,000 adults, that’s real great marketing.

Honestly, its not a bad song (ignoring the video). But this is what I’m talking about – its got a beat, people can dance and the players would get excited for it. But they’ll randomly roll out 4 or 5 different songs just like this one at a million decibels and none of it will stick. It has no identity for UGA

Redcoats – One of the best college bands in the country, have been for a long time, This sounds like all that talent will be wasted even more than it already is.
On the topic of excessive volume with recorded music, I wonder if a suit for damaged hearing would get the AD’s attention. Anyone with a seat near a speaker might have a case.

My issue is they are trying to make the crowd fit to the music rather than fitting the music to the crowd. They are trying all these random songs and they don’t mean anything to us as fans. Play something like Back in Black or Soldier Boy, and you’ll get everyone moving. Auburn plays Welcome to the Jungle. LSU (?) plays Eye of the Tiger. Those relate to the crowd. I like rap and top 20, but they are going to faq this up so bad…
