    ND added LED wristbands for everyone at the Ohio State game, it was good clean fun.

    UGA very much copied something Bama didn't put in until the same offseason UGA did. Totally a real thing.

    Never really watch halftime shows but this was awesome.



    it says the video is blocked but it’s worth a click. AU band doing Metallica with the lights out and
    LED’s on their helmets.

    Is marching band the worst way to do a metal tribute? Barber shop quartet maybe?

    I think I’m still going to say marching band is worse though.

    I thought this was going to be about a serial TV show of a non-descript CFB team.

    The lights can be fun in person, but easily overdone. They also do look weird on TV but it doesn’t really bother me.

    I don't mind the lights.

    I'm also not a weirdo.

    The light shows and constantly upgrading the facilities are excuses for athletic departments to blow their budgets and not have enough money to pay the players.

    I canceled my season tickets and stopped going to games entirely because my demands for pregame and post touchdown light shows went unaddressed by the athletic department

    I guess when you have an on field product like Texas tech you need flashy lights to keep the fans entertained

    Can we stop Big12 arguing about lights? We just got rid of a track around our field recently. It’s impossible to keep up with the Jones’
