Only one physical landline phone in the house? You can get a used one from Goodwill.
We need a robot marching band. Human marching bands are so 2021.
I'm old - 70 - liked lights/volume, but overdone. First game OK, going forward use sparingly.
I'd agree. I mean, we were doing the lights and blaring Sandstorm coming out of halftime with a 9-7 lead over Ga St. We used to play Sandstorm more judiciously. But I suppose it was a way to artificially pump up the crowd since the game action wasn't doing it.
The Atmosphere was the Best I've seen in a long long time, the speaker system and The lights were amazing ... Hope it's like that every time we take the field...TEAMS-Never Quit!!! Gooo Gamecocks!!!

Hey I`m an old fogey too but I liked the lights, the uniforms, etc. .Yes I would prefer Thunderstruck, I`ve Got a Feeling, Dynamite like they used to play but whatever appeals to the kids and recruits is fine by me(clean versions though).
I am with you, but the kids think it is cool. They are who the lights are for, not us old fogies. If you are over 35 to them, you are old. Enjoy the games, ignore the lights.
We never used it anyway, if i can remember.We just used our cell phones.Plus it was long distance to call my mom and brother that only lived 4 miles away.Didn't want to pay extra when i can just use my cell phone.
We've had lights at the stadium for night games since the 50's. Why do you think these lights are more likely to go out than the ones we've had the previous 60 years?
I didn’t make it to the first game, so can’t really make a judgement.
I’m one of the younger guys in this forum and I know I’m a stark minority but haven’t really liked what I’ve seen of the lights. I do like the garnet lights and think those are nice, but could do without all the strobes and flashing (I.e. during sandstorm etc). There’s just a time and a place in my opinion. It’s a football game not a concert.
I hope they scale it back.
I understand why they go all out for the recruits though

I'm talking about when they are during a time-out, etc. and they got the lights flashing.I saw a few times while i was at work trying to watch when they got a dark red, wouldn't be funny (or would it?) if they got stuck like that, and they had to stop play because they couldn't get the game lights back on.We've had lights at the stadium for night games since the 50's.

It’s because people party 4-6 hours before the game outside of the stadium and get liquored up, and now they don’t have to stop as we sell alcohol in the stadium…
Long distance? Does that still exist?
I think we have unlimited calling throughout the US and Canada through Comcast.
I guess it depends on the cost. I sign up for YouTube tv during college football season for that reason alone.
It did back when we had a house phone.idk about today.We had a 892(Gilbert) and my mom had a 532(leesville),it's only about 4 miles between our houses and it was long distance.
The 48-7 in the 3rd qtr was my reason I made to myself on the way home, to watch from the house.
so embarrassing
so embarrassing
Take it u never dated a band member?…….they’re beasts I tell ya, beasts!
I remember travelling from Columbia to Pittsburgh in 1989 or some such and had to change planes at the Raleigh-Durham airport. There were payphones throughout the facility - some designated as local calls to Raleigh, some to Durham, and some to Chapel Hill.
And it was a long distance call between Tampa and St. Petersburg back in the day as well.
You know its kinda funny. I wasnt a big fan of the lights either. That is all the way up to the Vol game. Then for whatever reason, they looked awesome. So much so, I just installed recessed lighting in the mancave that will pretty much do the same with several colors at the touch of a button on my phone. Havent darkened the room yet to check them out. That's gonna have to wait till game time. Funny how some success will change viewpoints.
