As a couple of posters mentioned above, take the intro to Hells Bells and overlay an optimally timed, optimally tuned, wolf-like, husky howl.
OFFICE OF ATHLETIC DIRECTOR
Phone: (860) 486-2725
I just called myself. Karen sent me to Mike and he picked up the phone.
I explained that the sound is not working - fans covering their ears. State cop asked my 'what the hell is that?' Mike took the time to explain to me Coach wanted to try something new and agreed it is not working as expected. He explained it is being 'RETOOLED '.
He thanked me for my support and I suggested bring back GnR and that I was also appreciative of him actually picking up the phone as opposed to having me sent to VM.
Lets see what it sounds like Saturday.
E-mail reply from Warde today, he is hearing the noise about the noise and is addressing the situation, pun intended. I doubt we hear it ever again.
Like yourself it was nice to get a thank you and know it was from the top. This unlike the Hathaway regime which ignored fans. No clue where his bread was buttered, but he did get the last laugh for sure.
Then again every dog has their day....
This athletic deparment played that sound for two games. So to give them credit for stopping... well that is insanity.
The thing about traditions is that they don't change much.
It was a different mix at the spring game. I thought this one was better, but not by much.3 if you count the spring game. With a 5 month gap between. Just unbelievable.
I almost hope we hear it again on Saturday just to add some salt on the shat sandwich that is 2014.
I hadn't really read this thread in a few days but I swear I had the same thought while sitting on the pot (do my best thinking there) - all the video boards should say #RiseUp, or even Rise Up Together - they've been using it as a slogan and a hashtag, using it on 3rd down makes too much sense!welcome to the jungle works. it just reaks of 'things that were cool 20 years ago'...
how about a graphic on the screen that says 'RISE UP! Make some Noise!!!'... and then give a level meter that registers the fans getting louder, even if they're not. something original like that would be cool.

Still need to fix the audio cue though.

They come In for pregame warm ups through the student section but I doubt it will last. The first two games maybe 2 dozen students cheering them on.
Perhaps this Director of Events Management should hold a focus group with us season ticket holders to improve the in game experience altogether. Plenty of "experts" on hereSpoke with the director of events management in the AD, seems they have been fielding a lot of complaints.
Not sure why someone who has been around as long as you has no clue but I will try to help. FIRST READ what is said and then try to respond. The comment is about Warde actually doing just that! The credit is for his personal response and not about stopping anything. Something we never got from Jeff.This athletic deparment played that sound for two games.
