Intro Videos Banned from Playoff Games

What about that damn cannon that SHSU fired off in frisco? It scared me!

[Bison"FANatic"]

Well since NDSU doesn't make crap off the playoff tickets and since the NCAA is decreasing my entertainment how about NDSU just charge 30 dollars a ticket instead of 40. Might as well let it cost the NCAA a few hundred thousand per game in the dome. Heck they should be adding things of entertainment value instead of taking it away, have they even looked at the attendance numbers of the playoffs.

That wasn't a cannon. It was Brian Bells body crashing into the ground.

I think the best thing to do is NDSU stand up to this nonsense and do it anyway and say what are you going to do to your arguably #1 moneymaker in FCS? At least over the last 5-6 years that has been the case. Can you see the NCAA trying to enforce this in any manner that would not be a egg on their face?

Tweet espn and tell them their atmosphere on saturday will sufffer

If I recall correctly, this was a big topic of discussion during our first playoff run. Home teams were to provide a "neutral" atmosphere and for at least a game or two we had no cannon fires after TDs, no "move those chains" first down calls, etc. Then we said F it and did all that stuff the following week cause no other home teams followed the rules. Not sure if this no intro video is something new or just a restatement of the existing rules.

Its trivial...but one of the stupidest things NCAA has done if this is new. Has no impact on the outcome, just taking away pleasure and enjoyment from fans...particularly kids.

This is the same shit other teams try and do all the time...Mess with our video, come out during our entrance, talk shit in the media about it being quiet in the dome...

Keeping hitting the hornet's nest...Things are going to be loud AF Saturday.

Get after EWU and that red field... There has to be some rule against something that hideous.
