Interesting Reinebold Interview

[SMUer]

Lets go USC...SMU song girls, invite every celebrity you can possible find to the games, alumni or just passing through Dallas...give them free tickets, open suite bar, t-shirts, hats, show them on the Big Screen in the crowd...get better video/audio systems, utilize Thad as our exclusive video producer, fireworks, confetti cannons, dramatic halftime show (strobe light Peruna, mid-field as he bucks and kicks styrofoam representations of the other teams mascot), fly-overs, food trucks and a bier garten on the Blvd.

No, that show ended in 1991. Anyone who was at least 15 years old when the show ended is now 35+. We need to attract people younger.

Couch'em - was just trying to help Brooksie find a few strays to assist with his problem.

GO PONIES!!!

[Junior]

How about having a few stars from the old TV series Dallas appear at halftime etc.

Yeah, what have ANY of them done lately?

Other than narrate the best documentary in years!

There is a new Dallas coming out this summer...and SMU is prominently featured in the intro:



Side note: If SMU hasn't already talked to this show's producers about filming scenes around SMU (perhaps the characters can go to an SMU football game - with a packed Ford Stadium, of course), we are missing out

Not a half bad idea. Add second biergarten in Ford Stadium (above the grassy knoll) and we've got a plan

[ponyscott]

I'm not speaking about Delay...different guy, not the color commentator guy, the game day music guy...sorry, I mis-titled him

Robert Lee Kobb, the Game day producer that you speak of, is the same guy you refer to as the "singing cowboy."

Robert Lee is NOT a singing cowboy btw. He's a long time local Dallas club entertainer and doesn't do C and W.....he met June and they became friends when June moved here.

[JonesDoe]

Hey Coach'em.. cheap shot at the coach, not true.. he did not capture them or cut them but he was suckered into accepting them... personally I have thought all along it was a dirty trick played by T Bone on SMU... his wife with too much time on her hands and you know how woman like to train animals after they fix them.. I can just see ol T Bone talking her into calling up ol June Jones.. at the time I figured Jones was daydreaming about a practice field..

(other than Jones capturing two free wild animals running the wide open plans, crushing their spirit, castrating them, and forcing them to live in pens with offensive clownlike Texas stereotypes doing rope tricks on their backs.)

Yes, but he was the guy who did the "Pony Up" country song

[NY Pony]

They were filming on campus about 4 days ago.

[PK]

Hey Coach'em..

If you are going to give him grief, at least get his name right...it is "Couch'em"...unless of course you are miss spelling it on purpose.

[ojaipony]

I could have sworn that the band played DURING our offensive plays when I was there (Ramon Flanigan years). They would play very softly as we were lining up, hiking the ball, and then rev it up while Ramon ran or threw it. Anyone else there in the early-mid 90s remember this?

I remember this, yes.

This was posted in another thread but is worthy of it's own. RBA did an interview with Reinebold about crowd interaction, and got typical answers - players want maximum noise except when lined up on offense. Nothing we don't already know, except Reinebold specifically praised how in years past (and I think you'd have to go back to pre-DP for this) where the band would play as soon as the ball was snapped and continue throughout the play.

Obviously this does not happen now, although it could. (Before someone says it isn't allowed, every time this issue comes up someone pulls the actually rules - you cannot make artificial noise that impedes the ability to hear the snap count. Playing during the play is not forbidden!)

My question: does the coaching staff have an active involvement in gameday atmosphere? When and what music is played over the speakers or band? What the PA guy says to incite cheering? What the cheerleaders are doing? I know June Jones basically recreated the entire atmosphere at Hawaii, but not much has changed at SMU. (other than Jones capturing two free wild animals running the wide open plans, crushing their spirit, castrating them, and forcing them to live in pens with offensive clownlike Texas stereotypes doing rope tricks on their backs.)

Is there much planned for when the BE comes rolling in?

The M Band Director asked JJ specifically if he wanted M Band to play like it once did....JJ told him no.

If you don't believe me call the Band Director to verify.

[EastStang]

That's part of the problem is that nowadays offenses want home fans to be quiet and defenses want you to ramp up the noise. Fans like to be involved the whole game. Especially as the hangover sets hits in the second half.

Not criticizing them for not playing, just curious who makes the decisions, and why we haven't seen the major overhaul Hawaii saw.
