    Great point. Had he done that the attendance might have gone down over the last few years

    Its all a moot point because he has found several ways to kill attendance since then!

    I disagree.

    Fireworks are not minor league. The Astros do it after every Friday night home game.

    Exactly right. It is certainly odd how fast we've become complacent with winning seasons and bowl games, but there is something real to the disinterest issue. I have very little motivation to drive 4 hours and watch an inconsistent team in a very subdued environment. I don't know that we can pin this on the AD, but some changes are needed.

    That is precisely why you want it cancelled. “Don’t want to celebrate someone else’s win” is just being hurt you lost. If parents take their kid to the stadium with the promise of fireworks, you give them fireworks. Pro teams dont cancel fireworks after a loss, Ive been to a few Rangers games with fireworks even if they lost, cancelling that is amateur.

    I do have to give someone credit, the video board and most of the music production seemed better to me. The music, although they probably did not play everyone's favorite songs, was much better in my opinion and all of the songs seemed to be at least tolerable to everyone. The video board seemed to be a little less juvenile also, maybe just my opinion, but seemed better along with some replays I noticed they put up.

    Apparently someone listened, or maybe it was just my imagination, there seemed to be an improvement.

    Since we had paid for the fireworks, could've saved them for another game later on. Ya know...one that we won.

    I love CCR, but whoever was in charge of the music played 'Fortunate Son' during our veteran recognition game Saturday. Probably not the best selection considering at least one of those recognized was a Vietnam Vet.

    Thing is, you have the fireworks at halftime during a late game. That way, if you lay the biggest turd in Joe Aillet Stadium history, its not immortalized with a show.

    To me, that doesn’t count. I talking about a post game fireworks show. Save that for games that really matter, and make sure we win before you light the fuse. I should have specified.

    Somebody other than Tech paid for the fireworks.
    It was Veterans Day weekend.
    A nighttime kickoff guarantees we can see them (if you're not in the pressbox).
    A 11 am kickoff (in two weeks for the last game) just would not have looked as nice.

    Play music that hypes up the team and students. Period. Make it a fun environment.

    If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there to hear it, did it really make a noise ?? Students were a big no-show for the Rice game.
