Allow it and you are going to create havoc all across the line, the moment an OL reset the defender is going to move into the neural zone causing a penalty to occur and force the refs to sort it out.

Last night one of the Lions players had one attached to the outside top of his helmet. Green mouthpiece on a gray helmet. Total garbage.

The OU floor slap before ISU came back to beat them in Hilton. My favorite floor slap ever. Down big at half and made the come back another great Hilton memory.
I have to add Iowa MBB having Equality on the back of their jerseys after losing multiple racial discrimination suits and having the whitest team in the nation every year (well maybe behind Wisconsin).

Yeah, the baseball home run dugout celebrations are fun, and I like that they try to tie in the headgear/whatever to something with the team or the city.
What I get a kick out of is the DBs who stomp their feet while enthusiastically celebrating by making the “incomplete“ signal - after they got torched by the receiver who ended up dropping the wide-open pass. Lol.
Completely agreed.
Even aside from what you mentioned, it is such a buzzkill on things. Like, a game naturally has a buildup of hype going into it, the music and the crowd gets going, the place is rocking and then we halt all that momentum going into things with the national anthem. Especially worse when its some singer that feels the need to draw it out- its supposed to be a cheerful song, not a dirge.
This made me instantly think of this clip, there was a fight before the game and the ref was pissed.

ISU plays The Bells of Iowa State at the worst time of the football pregame. Either play it after a W like in basketball or don’t play it at all. Plus the band lining up as the campanile looks like a penis.
Why not just play it after every game regardless of outcome?
A 'no matter what we're all here together' kind of thing.
Sure that’s fine now that you mention it, I think basketball does it like that. It’s just such a buzz kill before the football games.
Even more so if it's the first 1st down in the previous, like, 18 game minutes.
Yep. Everything football pregame except the 'Cyclone Weather Alert' sounder & video needs to be changed or tweaked.
Any answer in this thread that isn't college football marching bands is dead wrong.
