I was watching some old home games today. When the 3rd down bell chimes (AC/DC- BAck in Black) it get s me wound up. The players seem to really react to it too.

Anyway, it got me thinking...is that something that is Ohio State's, or does it happen at other stadiums?


And please, nobody even compare it to that annoying Nitany Lion roar!

That song has been used by other stadiums and sports...San Diego used it in the '90s when their famous bullpen closer (can't recall his name) came in. I've heard a couple times in other venues...

probably not what you are looking for, but I happen to like the Lions Roar at Happy Valley on 3rd downs.

Im sure if you were a PSU fan you'd love it. I am not one, but when the sun goes down and I take my scarlet shades off i'll admit to admiring it.

maybe we should come up with a sound by dropping a bunch of nuts on the floor as our 3rd down shoutout.

Are you serious? They play that stupid roar seemingly every play. Annoying as hell if you ask me.

They just use it too much. Hell, if the waterboy successfully hydrates the player during a timeout, they will give him 5 minutes of the lion roar.

Yeah, certainly not just an Ohio State thing, but sweet nonetheless. Seahawks have some bell/chime sounding thing on 3rd downs as well.

Love hearin' that bell, especially when it comes on early during the huddle, and the other team lines up back deep in their own territory and the crowd is going crazy, our defense shows blitz and they have to audible but can't cause they don't hear shit...and when the ball is snapped their play breaks down and and their QB is sacked for a SAFETY!! YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!


<clears throat>
....

Whoo! Got me pumped up. Saturday can't come any sooner.

I got to thinking after reading this post, and I speculate that we have a celebrity on our hands this evening. Give it up for Mr. Rock3tm4nn himself........

*disclamer* I am a Democrat, but I couldn't resist this opportunity for a cheesy photo add in. It was there, so I took it. Cool?

I was at the Indiana game last year and they were playing the bell sound but it was really funny because the guy in the sound booth kept screwing up and playing it on the wrong downs. You can tell they don't watch a lot of football there :wink2: .
