Let's keep the play clocks working, though.

Hey, maybe a new tradition- OSU riders on our new pseudo mascots and aTm aggies to fire the cannon. Now if we can just get a few SMU refs our fortunes might turn much faster.

GO PONIES!!!

Redpony, I'm not in favor of the new geldings nor am I in favor of people dressed up in Aggie Corps uniforms firing a cannon...however, the cannon did add a lot to the game - let's get some people who look like SMU people firing it.

I'm gonna guess that residents from all over the Park Cities were complaining about that cannon blast, and that it will be no more......

Babies cried when the cannon went off. I would have hit the ceiling had we been in a dome, but the little children in front of me had to leave early because they were traumatized for the evening. And it blew out the play clocks.

So it really did blow the play clocks?.. I wondered what happened and why they never came back on...
