to improve the gameday experience, including the entrance of the team and stadium wide chants/cheers.  I know they tried fireworks last year until the accident involving the pyrotechnic operator, but maybe they could try again with a different company or come up with another entrance tactic such as dry ice / smoke. 

Also, still convinced the animation is so much better then last years and they really need to help start the GREEN - GOLD chant.

miami pretty much has cornered the market on the smoke entrance in the state.

we tried the "running of the bulls" last season but it was too hard to figure out what was going on.

then there was the golden shovel for "keep on diggin"  which wasnt too bad.

I still don't understand why the GREEN-GOLD chant was eliminated.

Even back in the early years with 20 some odd thousand that made some noise.

Imagine what it would sound like with 50,000!!!

Another benefit is that it's simple so people who are attending their first Bulls game could get involved in the spirit since it is simple but catchy.

Loved how it started with the people who noticed the screens and rapidly grew in volume.

Have the PA announcer explain before the Tenn-Martin game a chant that we'll be doing (ie - green gold one). That way, hopefully, most people will know what to do and yell when it comes on.

anything that needs an explanation is worthless....

it's been said a 100 times already, you can't force these things, they just happen.  most of the "gameday experience" is created by the fans and their demands/interests, the AD has little to do with it

Not true Rocky Top, numerous game day traditions are created by and supported by the AD.  Do you think OU's AD lets some drunk fan bring his pony and chuck wagon into it's stadium?  How bout at FSU, I don't think that is a real indian riding around on a horse, and throwing a flame into the middle of the field.  Nor do I think that wild buffalos find a way to run through Colorado's stadium.  And I don't think its coincidence that a eagle flies into Auburn's stadium every game.  All these things are coordinated by the AD of those schools. 

Being so new, we especially need the help of the AD to quickly create gameday traditions.  We can't wait 50 years for something to "develop on it's own"  It isnt much to ask for a <------GREEN - GOLD-------> to be put on the jumbotron.  They have done it in the past, so they can do it again.  Now that we have more people in the stadium, it would really sound awesome.  UF gets their orange-blue going with the help of dozens of cheerleaders with signs on both sidelines, so even a school with much more experience needs help getting that chant going.  You just can't get a whole stadium chant going without some kind of lead in.  Too many people to coordinate without the help of a jumbotron or band.

They need to try things if they fail, move on.  Each game they should test things out.  Eventually, the fans will pick what they want or they will adopt something or change something to their likeing.

I think the Jumbotron should show the USF Bull running down Fowler destroying the boxes of teams we need to play in this seasons order.  Then, as that finishes the players run out on the field

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
