    I want flames when the football players come down the ramp.

    Nah, get one of these:

    U.S. Army M-110. 8 inch, 203mm SPA. The Army had over a 1000 of them at one time before they phased them out of the inventory. Should be able to get one cheap. :icon_wink:


    Of course, you are probably going to scare babies and create heart attacks, so have the EMS folks there...

    NO, had terrible looking caution tape around. Plus cluttered the hill with their trailer. JUST KEEP THE BELL. The cannon isn't our deal.

    I vote for the cannon. One of the few homegrown gameday traditions we had.

    (And drunk KAs are part of that tradition.)

    I vote yes for bringing back the cannon, maybe two cannons while we are at it.

    2 "problems" (barely) easily fixed with a few dollars and putting egos in check.

    Bring back the cannon! Why did they remove it anyway? I was pissed when it disappeared a few years ago.

    How could we make this happen?

    I think the Tsar was compensating for something, but it'll make one helluva bang.

    Re: Bringing the Cannon Back

    My first years of Tech football had the canon, and to this day, I still miss the sound after a Tech score.

    I do like the bell, but you can't hear it. It's all about the noise. You could feel the canon thump in your chest.

    I'm not sure they ring the bell after TDs. From what I know, a member from the team rings it before they get on to the field.
