A PA system at Ford that doesn't suck

Accurate and timely scores on the Mustang Vision

2 things I would like...

A conference championship

A national championship

Is there anything else? Santa's feeling generous this year.

Yeah, do you have the Beatles' White Album? Never mind, just get me a glass of hot fat. And bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia while you're out there.

Nah, I'll settle for that.

Now that! will never happen.

Might as well settle for a Mustang winning season cause that's just not possible.

The PA system blows everyone out on the west side, but the east can't hear a thing.

BrianT, hwo many times have we discussed this?

It boggles the mind that 2/3 of the stadium have phones in their pocket that can give them up to date scores and the PA announces scores that are more than an hour and a half old.

How about we pay somebody $5 a game to look up the scores on their Treo and feed them to the announcer? I will pay that $30.

As for the sound, it kills me we can't get speakers behind at least the student section. Screw the visitor's section.

I said "Like to have"

There are many things I would LOVE to see the Ponies do this year. I am just being pragmatic and would love to fix the 2 things that annoy me to know end about our game day presentation at Ford. If I expanded the list to 3 things, I just might ask to see if the catch phrase "Third Down Thunder" can result in a swift kick to the scrotum to the offending party. I am willing to pay $20 a game to hire someone to stand next to the PA announcer, that only half the people can hear, and tee off if he makes that mistake again. Wonder if Ryan Mentzel needs a few extra Andy Jackson's?

Hey at least we have a scoreboard with instant replay. You won't see that at many college stadia. In fact those that are going to all of our away games this year, report back how many schools have that. And as far as sound is concerned, that is a universal problem at arenas. I rarely can hear the announcer at Fed Ex Field when the Redskins play and I know Dan Snyder has thrown a ton of bucks at the problem. RFK has a wierd echo with its 1960's PA system. For scoreboard updates, look at your cell phone or old school, carry a transister radio.

Is that anything like "Mighty Mustang Thunder?"

Maybe we could get the announcer to ask for 'a little third down blunder'
when the opponent has the ball.
