Let me get this right, so I am keeping up. We don't like:
-woo hoo during tiger rag
-hype video during the entrance
-we will rock you during the entrance
-alcohol sold in stadiums
-"it's thirrrrd down"
-bells during third down
I am trying to keep a running list of all the things that are apparently ruining or will ruin games. Let me know if I missed anything.

I feel the same way an about the WooHoo nonsense. Refuse that part of our cheer and always will. Who ever started it and all that joined in are born from a different Death Valley.
Go Tigers!!

The correct ending to cadence count is

That is all.

also: the transfer portal - or as a curmudgeon might call it: The I'm not good enough to play here so I will go here so that I might play OR more importantly get paid more money via NIL
I do love good ole curmudgeonry, mainly because it makes sense and I am becoming exactly that.

1. The woohoo sucks
2. The DJ sucks... can't help it your generation can't go three seconds with out autorap crap blasting in the background.
3. "Hype video" is ok... it's just the autotune rap crap (see above) that goes with it. Can't help that your generation can't get excited about something/anything without the required ticktock/fast edit/quick cut visual to guide your life.
4. The we will rock you is soooooo 1970's and waaaaay over played. Like "who let the dogs out". Since we are going back in time just play the Macarena.
And don't worry, soon us old guys will be dead and the world will then be perfect....

The rap is too modern, we will rock you is too 70s and dated, who let the dog is out is too old.

For me it’s the woo hoo and the whooo after the cadence count. Both are absolutely embarrassing. Then add in the professor and staff of the game, people clapping during the hero of the game and not even listening to why he or she is a hero, and clay swinney on the field ever. Besides that it’s a fun day.

but (a) I don't want to be overly curmudgeonly; and
(b) many of those things are sport-wide, not just at Clemson,
but for my part, I only have a complaint with the alcohol, the hype video, and the we will rock you. The rest is ok, so I guess i'm only 50% curmudgeonly.

it's clear that the curmudgeons are usually vindicated in the end, and the pollyannaish sunshine pumpers that complain about curmudgeons are the escorts that usher history into many of it's follies, b/c the sky is never falling, and the future is supposedly always bright . . . (until it's not, at which point they act like no one could have seen it coming).

Are you not pumped on 3rd down unless someone loudly reminds you to be?
It's rare that I get to a game so I'm not familiar with many of these activities. This is the first I've heard of WWRY being part of our entrance and that does strike me as especially generic. In general, like many curmudgeons, I have come to value more of the purity of a college game...which I think we all can agree, is becoming less and less of a factor. So I won't apologize for having the opinion that the continued over-processing of the college gameday experience is making it a less enjoyable event. The non-stop need to pound attendees with stimulus is very annoying and reeks of a young marketing...er..."executive"...who ultimately thinks that football itself couldn't possibly hold their fans' collective interest. I say the same thing about ESPN...they surround the sport with so much controversy, so much analysis, so many hot takes and peripheral products because ultimately, I'm not sure the decision makers are sports fans.
