This has been a thing for as long as I can remember; no ‘artificial’ noise once the offense gets in the huddle.

Army also had a guy with a microphone leading cheers over this huge speaker they brought, and that was shut down very early on as well.

This used to get called out when I was in Highschool band. I think the average person doesn't realize its a rule but it makes sense. The advantage you get at home from having a big loud crowd makes a big difference, and the PA or Band can be a whole lot louder and more disruptive than the crowd.
To be clear for those who don't understand the crowd can use their VOICE, which means you can scream, yell, holler as loud as you want. What you can't use are amplifiers, such as a speaker, megaphone, etc, while the opponents offense is lined up.
@@pnut3844able The crowd noise rule Found in Rule 4, it stated that if the home crowd made it difficult for the visiting team to call a play, the referee would stop the clock and: Warn the crowd about excessive noise and ask the players on the field to encourage the crowd to tone it down. If repeated, warn the crowd a second time and ask the players on the field to encourage the crowd to tone it down. The referee would also advise the crowd that further excessive noise would result in a charged timeout to the home team. On a third violation, charge the home team with a timeout. On subsequent excessive noise violations, charge the home team with a timeout. If the home team was out of timeouts, penalize the home team for delay of game. The officials took a hard line in the 1989 preseason, strictly enforcing the crowd noise rule. Referee Dick Jorgensen penalized the Indianapolis Colts for excessive crowd noise in a Sept. 2, 1989, pre-season game, and didn’t stop until the Colts received two delay of game penalties.
@@possumj7307 Mississippi State's cowbells are under the same rules now. They can use them but have to stop when the offense is lined up over the ball, and they do.
I commented before seeing this, but it happened to us (University of Maryland Marching Band) back in the 80s. It was a rookie mistake (director's first year) but we never did it again. IIRC, the infraction at the time would have been unsportsmanlike conduct.
@georgejohnson8674 The ref did say for them to "stop playing music when stanford is lined up ready to snap the ball" so tbf we are falling within this since music is cut once the center is set ready to snap. They must've kept the music playing up until the ball is actually snapped which caused the warning

This happened at the Wisconsin game when they played Buffalo in week 1, but the refs literally did nothing. The music was constantly playing and it was so loud that the Wisconsin fans were complaining about it during and after the game. Fans were threatening to not come to another game if the atmosphere was like that at the next game. On the radio shows after the game, Wisconsin fans as well as the radio broadcasters were questioning if it was even legal to be doing what they were doing.
Good call. It’s a rule for a reason. If it was crowd noise, it would be different. But the DJ has a sound system and technological advantage over them, so good move by the official to put an end to it early on
Anyone remember Penn State vs Michigan and they had to call a timeout the first play. Wasn't music being blasted on the PA for that? I always wondered how that was allowed Edit: Just rechecked the broadcast. The PA playing the music didn't stop till 7 on the play clock which is exactly when the offensive line actually got set. Before that all the linemen were still standing up
It's definitely not allowed by the rules but I think refs typically let it slide for the first play. They did stop playing when the QB got set, but really they should be stopping the music when the center gets in formation.
If you rewatch that first play you can see the music stopped the moment center was in formation (leaned over and ready to snap the ball). Michigan wasn't actually set until there was 6 seconds left in the down clock, so they were allowed to play the music until that very moment.
The claim is that the crowds are loud enough to blast out the snap call on the field which I don't disagree with. But you can definitely tell that there is something blaring over the PA system even with the crowd noise. I think they were able to get away with it because it isn't the sole product of the noise and it is still at the start of the game so they can probably get away with a soft excuse like let this song finish or oops had volume too loud if they needed to.
The fans booing dont realize THEY are supposed to be making the noise themselves if they want to opposing offense to have a hard time hearing. Your voice is supposed to be hoarse the day after a ball game.
This is a legit rule. Went to an FAU game years ago where the PA would play music and sound effects as the opponents offense would run a no huddle offense. Ref had to tell them to stop once the opponent lined up to snap.
I have never attended a football game where the music or sound effects continued when play resumed. I’m sure there are rules in place that are stressed to all involved and everyone has a clear understanding. In addition to all that it’s just common courtesy and good sportsmanship. Besides, if the members of the “12th man” are doing their jobs, which is completely acceptable, nothing else is needed. Good sportsmanship should be the most important element of sports events but unfortunately we have drifted away from that. After all, it’s just a game!
FACT That Ref is AWESOME I see that kind of CRAP being done at Stadiums all over. And at All Levels of Football. And I myself have been a PA Announcer at many levels of Football. I have worked and called High School Games, Semi Professional Games and Youth Games.
Even at a recreational league level, the music always stops before the offensive team prepares to snap the ball. Colorado knew the rule, yet was trying to gain an unfair advantage. Then again, I don't expect sportsmanship from Coach You-Know-Who.
The entire Colorado student section got ejected from the 2005 Neb game as well. I believe it's the only time in CFB an entire student section has been kicked out of a game. They just wouldn't stop throwing junk onto the field.
The rules is necessary so the offense call get the play set up with a fair shot at not starting early. If the crowd is loud that’s fine but the band and pa has to stop
I remember in high school band we would actively try to play as loud as possible when the other team went under center. I guess they either didn’t have the rule in HS football or didn’t care enough to enforce it in non-varsity football
@@DoginSuitDepends on the state. In Alabama that rule was recently relaxed to only include the PA system. The band can keep playing without penalty. Used to apply to them too.
@@crazydude5825 for sure. It’s just rare that it’s called. HS stadiums are usually pretty flat so the sound easily gets out. We’re the college stadiums are a bowl that amplifies the noise
The PA system operators absolutely know the rules - without question, they know the rules Playing music while the opposing offense is at the line of scrimmage has to come from the top, The NCAA will reach out to the Colorado administration
I mean, did they really ned to bring in an expert for that? The music ending when the players come to the line has been a rule for years and years -- and it's an obvious one. No explanation from an expert is required.
Well damn. So there actually is a rule against, say, playing an extremely loud noise through the speakers when the opposing kicker's trying to make a field goal.
this is one of the most awesome things to ever be recorded and put online. all of the world owes this guy a shot for being an absolute courageous bad $ss
We (the pep band) got our football team a penalty this way in high school. The coaches were pissed! In our defense, the team was horrible and already losing by 35 points anyway. The only people left in the stands were us and when we weren't playing we were bored to death.
Band got one while I was a member my senior year in high school. We were up by 50 though in the 4th quarter so the coaches didn't care. I think the yellow flag still hangs above the ceiling in the band room to this day.
I remember seeing one game, a few years ago where Colorado was getting it's ass handed to them, on their own field and the refs had to throw out the entire student section for throwing stuff onto the field in a nationally televised game. Shows you the level of class Colorado students\fans have.
Which is funny because Stanford has been one of the worst teams in the Pac-12 for a while now. They haven't been good since like 2015. So seeing Colorado lose to one of the worst teams in the conference is even more hilarious.
We're talking about sports commentators. The color guy would be out of a job if he wasn't saying stuff like "in this situation the offense is looking to score" or "you need defense to do well in this game".
In Marching Band we got it drilled into to heads that we can’t play a single note during a play or else our team would get a penalty. But I’ve never seen the rule actually referenced during a game until now
Hey, they mentioned our cowbells!(I'm from MSU). Imagine a stadium so loud you can hear it inside your house 10 miles away on the other side of town. Those cowbells are legit deafening.
I was in the band in college -- pay attention, the band will always stop playing before the snap of the ball because it's a penalty on their team if they don't.
I remember playing on a local baseball team growing up in the town I currently live in. There was 1 team we hated playing against. 2 of the moms who had players on the other team were well known for their antics, this particular game…… oh boy. They both had air horns. They would use them right before anyone on our team were about to swing … by the 2nd inning, the home plate umpire told them both to leave. They refused. Luckily this field happened to be right by the police station. I live in bridgeview, Illinois and Bedford park is nearby. Bedford park police station was near the baseball field. Didn’t take long for police to escort them away.
Their sons would be absolute heroes if they jumped on top of the dugout and told the moms to knock it the fuck off. What kind of son wants a mom who is so obnoxious she gets arrested. Good god!
"There's a personal foul on number 99 of the defense after he tackled the quarterback, he's givin' him the business down there, that's a 15-yard penalty." (Jets/Bills game...that was hilarious)
Soo easy to root against Colorado! And Deion definitely showing his true colors to every recruit out there, it’s all well and good when you’re winning but you’re “garbage” and embarrassing when you’re not. F$&@ that guy 😂
Sigh, you're right, and that's a shame. I was in full support of Deion when he switched schools, due to them screwing him over with some shady shenanigans. I also appreciated his blunt honesty, and openness about how he was going to transform the Colorado team. His moves were too radical for some, but the school supported him, and that's all that matters. Since then, however, he's become a whiner and a professional victim. There's a line between kids having fun, and being disrespectfully arrogant. Deion's son is talented but he, and the team haven't won a damn thing. Deion can whine about the media all he wants, we all know he's doing everything he can to draw attention to himself, and the team. Before long, it'll backfire, and the arrogance and mouthing off will give every Colorado opponent extra motivation to embarrass and humiliate Colorado.
When I wasa in high school, we had a huge marching band with around 200 players, mostly brass. We were loud as..., well, got threatened with a penalty like this announcer. The thing is, we played no matter who was on offense. Just having a blast in the stands.
It’s so funny to hear this compared to the NBA that blasts extremely loud rap music and DE FENSE and EVERYBODY CLAP YO HANDS all game long during live game action
Good on that ref calling out the shenanigans and putting the PA sideshow in check. Now let’s hear the sycophants cry about being “victims” after someone puts a stop to their jackass behavior.
Wait what😭 how is that jackass behavior. The PA announcer forgot about the rules for a sec and had to be reminded. Its the same pa announcer colorado has had for 10 years now. None of this has to do with deion. He simply just forgot its not “jackass behavior”
Oregon State got a similar request from a ref earlier this year with their third down chainsaw noise. The opposing team was in hurry up mode, so the 3-to-5 second sound that is normally long over by the time the team is approaching the line of scrimmage wasn't over yet. As with here, the crowd booed, but the noise quit happening when it wasn't supposed to.
This is indeed the rule, everyone in the market department knows it. Often not called, but it happens, usually the ref just comes over and tells game management that they are warning the box on the side.
True,the sad thing is that despite the noise,hand signals were fundamental especially if the crowd was extra rowdy,but these days QBs at the NCAAF and NFL levels rely heavily on the microphone in their helmet so much. But I understand especially if the PA is being too extra,ultimately it's on the coaches and players to stay disciplined enough for any BS distractions
@@kennethmullenixit's not just because of coach to QB communication. PA systems get much louder than crowd noise. The offense would not be able to hear the snap count and would be penalized out the wazoo.
@@heroesofthescape idk about that,you dont necessarily need to hear the hear the snap count,the way I was always taught you dont move unless you see the center move. Even if the offense is in the Shotgun the center can set the cadence by either silently counting in his head,usually no more than a count of 4,or he looks back/underneath his legs to see if the QB is doing some kind of motion,usually the QB will just lift his leg. If they in regular I formation,the QB will usually just wiggle his hands underneath the center letting him know to snap the ball. Receivers and everyone else are watching the line of scrimmage for movement. I was just at the Texas OU game and the crowd was pretty loud,but the PA didn't seem to have any affect on play calling. Offsides penalties usually come from being nervous and undisciplined,sometimes the defense can be moving around a bit to get the linemen to jump offsides but usually nothing happens. Even with a hard count,offenses practice the cadence,the hard count might be "on 2/3" usually all that is learned from the 2min drills you do everyday in practice,usually the coach or QB will put up the signal for the hard count.
I can remember a Little League All-Star game between 11 and 12 year olds in Southern Illinois. While waiting for our game to begin I was watching the first game. It was a 1-1 game in the bottom of the 6th when this kid who homered earlier was up. Just as he stepped up to the plate these two old ladies, most likely grandmothers, started blowing loud whistles and clanging cowbells. The coach called batter back to the dugout until both women were removed. Honestly this was one of the milder forms of intimidation. Little League parents and grandparents are the absolute worse.
State fan here. The same rule that applies to the PA announcer in this video applies to the usage of cowbells from the fans. Once the offense is in formation they cannot be used until the ball is snapped.
@@stricklinatorr, unfortunately State fans often “accidentally” keep ringing those darn things after they’re supposed to stop. It can be very annoying as an opposing fan/team.
@@stricklinatorrI personally think this rule is BS. Yes the PA announcer should not be allowed to use electronic means to disrupt the opposing team as they are in an official capacity. That said, however, fans like at Miss St. should be allowed to make as much noise as they want that's part of home crowd advantage. That's like telling a crowd they can't yell, cheer, chant, or talk when the opponent is in formation before the snap. That totally goes against and ruins the spirit of the game. There needs to be a much clearer, and more directed revision to the rule. You take the fans out of the game then you might as well not even play. Fans are just as important to the game as the players are as it's all part of the spirit of the game.
reminds me of one time when i was in the washington state band and we were told we had a warning about this before the game even started lmao, funnily enough it was stanford's football team who complained about it. we never got called out by refs for it my entire 4 years there
Comment from a Canadian. I remember watching Arena Football on TNN (remember them?) and Milwaukee had a team and they were penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct for playing music for their own team in pre-snap formation. The best part I remember hearing from Play by Play announcer Eli Gold (vivid memory of who called the game too) announcing that the penalty was against 'Music in Motion'. A local DJ service got a free plug on National TV. BTW, I'm not from Wisconsin but I wish.

To be clear for those who don't understand the crowd can use their VOICE, which means you can scream, yell, holler as loud as you want. What you can't use are amplifiers, such as a speaker, megaphone, etc, while the opponents offense is lined up.
Duh. What are the refs gonna do, tell 20k people to shut up?
@@pnut3844able The crowd noise rule
Found in Rule 4, it stated that if the home crowd made it difficult for the visiting team to call a play, the referee would stop the clock and:
Warn the crowd about excessive noise and ask the players on the field to encourage the crowd to tone it down.
If repeated, warn the crowd a second time and ask the players on the field to encourage the crowd to tone it down. The referee would also advise the crowd that further excessive noise would result in a charged timeout to the home team.
On a third violation, charge the home team with a timeout.
On subsequent excessive noise violations, charge the home team with a timeout.
If the home team was out of timeouts, penalize the home team for delay of game.
The officials took a hard line in the 1989 preseason, strictly enforcing the crowd noise rule. Referee Dick Jorgensen penalized the Indianapolis Colts for excessive crowd noise in a Sept. 2, 1989, pre-season game, and didn’t stop until the Colts received two delay of game penalties.
@pnut3844able Some people don't know the crowd noise rules. I was just explaining for clarity. Have a good day.
Ban the cowbells too
@@possumj7307 Mississippi State's cowbells are under the same rules now. They can use them but have to stop when the offense is lined up over the ball, and they do.
0:22...Announcers are so stupid....Why do you have to consult rules analyst. Isn't pretty obvious based on what the ref said??
It was Mark Jones calling. Enough Said.
@@BengtsonJ or, maybe, he was doing what the producer told him to. Mark Jones is a good announcer.
That's true 99% of the time. The rules analyst is almost worthless when explaining the rule, and often gets the call wrong on a replay situation.
I love how he looks at the camera and it zooms in on him like an oblivion guard
“You’ve violated the law!”
XD
Reminds me of the Air Force-UNLV game last year when the ref walked into the stands to tell the band leader to stop playing.
LMAO yep
I've seen that happen before, too!
I saw this happen live on tv with my dad and I told him “this is like that unlv game from last year😂”
Now I have to find that clip lol....update** I found it lol
I commented before seeing this, but it happened to us (University of Maryland Marching Band) back in the 80s. It was a rookie mistake (director's first year) but we never did it again. IIRC, the infraction at the time would have been unsportsmanlike conduct.
We were always told by TCU Marketing to stop music when the center gets set
Go frogs
Yep, cheaters
@georgejohnson8674 The ref did say for them to "stop playing music when stanford is lined up ready to snap the ball" so tbf we are falling within this since music is cut once the center is set ready to snap. They must've kept the music playing up until the ball is actually snapped which caused the warning
@@quantumchris1 tcu tried doing that from 2011 to 2018
Can confirm on the TCU band side of things. The drum majors have to cut off the band as soon as the center gets set or touches the ball.
At the conclusion of the game, the ref should have said, “ok PA announcer, you can play music now.”
Savage!
😂😂
funeral march?
💀
Play some happy music, maestro!😂
Man, you love to see it! This situation has been off the rails for far too long, as it is. God bless that ref for putting them in check.
How exactly has it been off the rails?

Ref was 100% correct in judgment.
The rehumbling of Colorado has been fantastic
And the band wagon fans are big mad.. instantly falling back on the old "it be's racist" bulltripe
That's completely fair.
The fans can yell and scream, but playing music gives the home team a completely unfair advantage.
oh no😯
That's why it's called home field advantage
@@vcxz52except that's not why it's called home field advantage..
It's called home field advantage mostly because you don't have to travel , find reservations etc and you tend have the support of the crowd.
Just imagine how bad things would get if it were allowed.
It's not just music. If this rule were not in place, home teams could play 200+dB crowd noise at the QB before every snap.
The crowd was pretty quiet when Colorado was done blowing a 29 point lead
That’s pretty funny I’ve never seen that before 😂
This happened at the Wisconsin game when they played Buffalo in week 1, but the refs literally did nothing. The music was constantly playing and it was so loud that the Wisconsin fans were complaining about it during and after the game. Fans were threatening to not come to another game if the atmosphere was like that at the next game. On the radio shows after the game, Wisconsin fans as well as the radio broadcasters were questioning if it was even legal to be doing what they were doing.
Good call. It’s a rule for a reason. If it was crowd noise, it would be different. But the DJ has a sound system and technological advantage over them, so good move by the official to put an end to it early on
Anyone remember Penn State vs Michigan and they had to call a timeout the first play. Wasn't music being blasted on the PA for that? I always wondered how that was allowed
Edit: Just rechecked the broadcast. The PA playing the music didn't stop till 7 on the play clock which is exactly when the offensive line actually got set. Before that all the linemen were still standing up
It's definitely not allowed by the rules but I think refs typically let it slide for the first play. They did stop playing when the QB got set, but really they should be stopping the music when the center gets in formation.
If you rewatch that first play you can see the music stopped the moment center was in formation (leaned over and ready to snap the ball). Michigan wasn't actually set until there was 6 seconds left in the down clock, so they were allowed to play the music until that very moment.
Lol the music stopped but that crowd kept on going. I think that was one of the best moments in cfb history
When Michigan got up to the line, the music stopped. But the crowd was so loud it forced Michigan to call timeout anyway.
The claim is that the crowds are loud enough to blast out the snap call on the field which I don't disagree with. But you can definitely tell that there is something blaring over the PA system even with the crowd noise. I think they were able to get away with it because it isn't the sole product of the noise and it is still at the start of the game so they can probably get away with a soft excuse like let this song finish or oops had volume too loud if they needed to.
The fans booing dont realize THEY are supposed to be making the noise themselves if they want to opposing offense to have a hard time hearing. Your voice is supposed to be hoarse the day after a ball game.
This is a legit rule. Went to an FAU game years ago where the PA would play music and sound effects as the opponents offense would run a no huddle offense. Ref had to tell them to stop once the opponent lined up to snap.
Gets worse, at halftime coach "Prime" was given a cease and desist order from Amazon.
I have never attended a football game where the music or sound effects continued when play resumed. I’m sure there are rules in place that are stressed to all involved and everyone has a clear understanding. In addition to all that it’s just common courtesy and good sportsmanship. Besides, if the members of the “12th man” are doing their jobs, which is completely acceptable, nothing else is needed. Good sportsmanship should be the most important element of sports events but unfortunately we have drifted away from that. After all, it’s just a game!
FACT That Ref is AWESOME I see that kind of CRAP being done at Stadiums all over. And at All Levels of Football. And I myself have been a PA Announcer at many levels of Football. I have worked and called High School Games, Semi Professional Games and Youth Games.
Even at a recreational league level, the music always stops before the offensive team prepares to snap the ball. Colorado knew the rule, yet was trying to gain an unfair advantage. Then again, I don't expect sportsmanship from Coach You-Know-Who.
Colorado messed with Karma and found out.😂
At a New Mexico St game earlier, the ref called out the game clock operator from the field and told him to pay attention to the signals on the field.
The entire Colorado student section got ejected from the 2005 Neb game as well. I believe it's the only time in CFB an entire student section has been kicked out of a game. They just wouldn't stop throwing junk onto the field.
Okay. So it wasn't due to the noise... it was due to the safety hazard to the players and refs.
Would have been funnier if we heard 'Unsportsman like conduct: the DJ. 10 yards, first down'.
The rules is necessary so the offense call get the play set up with a fair shot at not starting early. If the crowd is loud that’s fine but the band and pa has to stop
I remember in high school band we would actively try to play as loud as possible when the other team went under center. I guess they either didn’t have the rule in HS football or didn’t care enough to enforce it in non-varsity football
@@metroidnerd9001 they do have it in high school but the stadium isn’t built in a way we’re it’s noticeable and it’s a small band
@@DoginSuitDepends on the state. In Alabama that rule was recently relaxed to only include the PA system. The band can keep playing without penalty. Used to apply to them too.
@@crazydude5825 for sure. It’s just rare that it’s called. HS stadiums are usually pretty flat so the sound easily gets out. We’re the college stadiums are a bowl that amplifies the noise
The PA system operators absolutely know the rules - without question, they know the rules
Playing music while the opposing offense is at the line of scrimmage has to come from the top, The NCAA will reach out to the Colorado administration
I love how the explanation given by the ‘expert’ is the biggest “no shit” moment of all time 😂
yea it always is, I can't stand when they bring on these "experts" to tell us the basic rules of the game
I thought so myself. And the color commentator having to ask what the call was for, is also a no shit.
"Let's go back to Matt Austin to tell us the same thing the ref just explained to everyone."
I mean, did they really ned to bring in an expert for that? The music ending when the players come to the line has been a rule for years and years -- and it's an obvious one. No explanation from an expert is required.
Tbf I don't watch football so I didn't know about this.
PA announcer: wth? Why is he calling me out?
Organist and sound effects engineer: laughing their asses off.
This is why college football floods the airwaves. Lots of drama😁
Well damn. So there actually is a rule against, say, playing an extremely loud noise through the speakers when the opposing kicker's trying to make a field goal.
Well, something else happened…Stanford down 29-0 came back and won in double overtime. Wild.
Prime showed he is in way over his head, hope he kept that receipt from last night..

None of them have ever been to a football game before this season so they probably didn't know it was a rule
Oh you wanted them to sit politely while sipping tea??
We (the pep band) got our football team a penalty this way in high school. The coaches were pissed! In our defense, the team was horrible and already losing by 35 points anyway. The only people left in the stands were us and when we weren't playing we were bored to death.
Did y’all go wild in the 4th quarter? That’s what we did even when we were losing by 50 😂
That is SO funny. I can picture it!
🤣🤣🤣
Band got one while I was a member my senior year in high school. We were up by 50 though in the 4th quarter so the coaches didn't care. I think the yellow flag still hangs above the ceiling in the band room to this day.
I would have kept playing to spite the coach at that point
That's the last game you would be playing at.
I remember seeing one game, a few years ago where Colorado was getting it's ass handed to them, on their own field and the refs had to throw out the entire student section for throwing stuff onto the field in a nationally televised game. Shows you the level of class Colorado students\fans have.
CU students are entitled rich kids that do nothing but party because they always have daddy’s money to fall back on if they fail in school.
Evening with the PA announcer trying to throw out additional distractions, CO still couldn’t beat Stanford. 😂
Which is funny because Stanford has been one of the worst teams in the Pac-12 for a while now. They haven't been good since like 2015. So seeing Colorado lose to one of the worst teams in the conference is even more hilarious.
Having announced for 25 years including college level, that is one of the very first rules that you learn.
"Tell us what that call was all about" as if anybody on planet Earth needed that explaining to them
Someone who is watching their first CFB game might...I've seen it happen.
We're talking about sports commentators. The color guy would be out of a job if he wasn't saying stuff like "in this situation the offense is looking to score" or "you need defense to do well in this game".
In Marching Band we got it drilled into to heads that we can’t play a single note during a play or else our team would get a penalty. But I’ve never seen the rule actually referenced during a game until now
Hey, they mentioned our cowbells!(I'm from MSU). Imagine a stadium so loud you can hear it inside your house 10 miles away on the other side of town. Those cowbells are legit deafening.
I was in the band in college -- pay attention, the band will always stop playing before the snap of the ball because it's a penalty on their team if they don't.
I remember playing on a local baseball team growing up in the town I currently live in.
There was 1 team we hated playing against. 2 of the moms who had players on the other team were well known for their antics, this particular game…… oh boy. They both had air horns. They would use them right before anyone on our team were about to swing … by the 2nd inning, the home plate umpire told them both to leave. They refused. Luckily this field happened to be right by the police station. I live in bridgeview, Illinois and Bedford park is nearby. Bedford park police station was near the baseball field. Didn’t take long for police to escort them away.
In shiny new bracelets?
Their sons would be absolute heroes if they jumped on top of the dugout and told the moms to knock it the fuck off. What kind of son wants a mom who is so obnoxious she gets arrested. Good god!
@@Subangelis I don’t know if they were shiny . But they were bracelets.
Good job getting this up. keep the fans educated.
To do this with a team that's actually good is one thing, but to do it with Stanford and then have the outcome what it was is priceless😂😂
“Why does this ref feel so threatened by cOaCh PrImE?? 😭😭”
Imagine if the PA guy used that trombone wah wah wah effect after.
That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen a referee announce. 🤣🤣
I don't know. I think, "False start, everyone but the center" is better.
@@Subangelis I think "Personal Foul, Defense #69, He was giving him the Business" is even better.
"There's a personal foul on number 99 of the defense after he tackled the quarterback, he's givin' him the business down there, that's a 15-yard penalty." (Jets/Bills game...that was hilarious)
Please give context
Soo easy to root against Colorado! And Deion definitely showing his true colors to every recruit out there, it’s all well and good when you’re winning but you’re “garbage” and embarrassing when you’re not. F$&@ that guy 😂
Yeah, and Deon and his whole team walking straight off the field without congratulating Stanford shows how classless they are.
Sigh, you're right, and that's a shame. I was in full support of Deion when he switched schools, due to them screwing him over with some shady shenanigans. I also appreciated his blunt honesty, and openness about how he was going to transform the Colorado team. His moves were too radical for some, but the school supported him, and that's all that matters. Since then, however, he's become a whiner and a professional victim. There's a line between kids having fun, and being disrespectfully arrogant. Deion's son is talented but he, and the team haven't won a damn thing. Deion can whine about the media all he wants, we all know he's doing everything he can to draw attention to himself, and the team. Before long, it'll backfire, and the arrogance and mouthing off will give every Colorado opponent extra motivation to embarrass and humiliate Colorado.
DJ's at college football games, or ANY football games, are ridiculous. This happened at NC State last week, too.
"So the DJ can't spin?" lol
When I wasa in high school, we had a huge marching band with around 200 players, mostly brass. We were loud as..., well, got threatened with a penalty like this announcer. The thing is, we played no matter who was on offense. Just having a blast in the stands.
It’s so funny to hear this compared to the NBA that blasts extremely loud rap music and DE FENSE and EVERYBODY CLAP YO HANDS all game long during live game action
Good on that ref calling out the shenanigans and putting the PA sideshow in check.
Now let’s hear the sycophants cry about being “victims” after someone puts a stop to their jackass behavior.
You know the Deion lovers gonna act like they beat Georgia 😂
Somehow itll be racist to play fairly, im sure according to those foot draggers
@Danfrombackhome maybe not Stanford making a comeback 🤣
Wait what😭 how is that jackass behavior. The PA announcer forgot about the rules for a sec and had to be reminded. Its the same pa announcer colorado has had for 10 years now. None of this has to do with deion. He simply just forgot its not “jackass behavior”
Ayo we victims bruh
Good call. The ref knows his rules unlike the commentators.
Anyone else remember the old NCAA games where there was literally a mechanic to pump up the crowd at the line to disrupt the other team
Great sportsmanlike conduct shown by the ref.
Don’t care, best part of the game for me was the Stanford players flexing on Colorado, that was golden and made me laugh 😂😂😂
I'm sure that PA was hired by Deion
What a disgusting act.

He did exactly the right thing. Deal with it.
Oregon State got a similar request from a ref earlier this year with their third down chainsaw noise. The opposing team was in hurry up mode, so the 3-to-5 second sound that is normally long over by the time the team is approaching the line of scrimmage wasn't over yet. As with here, the crowd booed, but the noise quit happening when it wasn't supposed to.
We had to stop playing in marching band, but that didn't stop us from yelling as loud as possible xD
This is indeed the rule, everyone in the market department knows it. Often not called, but it happens, usually the ref just comes over and tells game management that they are warning the box on the side.
I suspect that might have already happened, and the folks in the booth ignored it.
@@jeffgorham8819you sound like my wife just suspecting whatever you want 😂
Nice of them to give warning instead of just throwing the hankie. This is amateur level stuff PA guy should know.
True,the sad thing is that despite the noise,hand signals were fundamental especially if the crowd was extra rowdy,but these days QBs at the NCAAF and NFL levels rely heavily on the microphone in their helmet so much. But I understand especially if the PA is being too extra,ultimately it's on the coaches and players to stay disciplined enough for any BS distractions
@@kennethmullenixit's not just because of coach to QB communication. PA systems get much louder than crowd noise. The offense would not be able to hear the snap count and would be penalized out the wazoo.
@@heroesofthescape idk about that,you dont necessarily need to hear the hear the snap count,the way I was always taught you dont move unless you see the center move. Even if the offense is in the Shotgun the center can set the cadence by either silently counting in his head,usually no more than a count of 4,or he looks back/underneath his legs to see if the QB is doing some kind of motion,usually the QB will just lift his leg. If they in regular I formation,the QB will usually just wiggle his hands underneath the center letting him know to snap the ball. Receivers and everyone else are watching the line of scrimmage for movement. I was just at the Texas OU game and the crowd was pretty loud,but the PA didn't seem to have any affect on play calling. Offsides penalties usually come from being nervous and undisciplined,sometimes the defense can be moving around a bit to get the linemen to jump offsides but usually nothing happens.
Even with a hard count,offenses practice the cadence,the hard count might be "on 2/3" usually all that is learned from the 2min drills you do everyday in practice,usually the coach or QB will put up the signal for the hard count.
Bro this was like 5 minutes ago you have insane speed
For the integrity of the school, the Athletic Director needs to have a long talk with the PA announcer. Either play by the rules or find a new job.
I can remember a Little League All-Star game between 11 and 12 year olds in Southern Illinois.
While waiting for our game to begin I was watching the first game.
It was a 1-1 game in the bottom of the 6th when this kid who homered earlier was up.
Just as he stepped up to the plate these two old ladies, most likely grandmothers, started blowing loud whistles and clanging cowbells.
The coach called batter back to the dugout until both women were removed.
Honestly this was one of the milder forms of intimidation.
Little League parents and grandparents are the absolute worse.
That’s crazy when this happens like that! I’ve never seen anything like that before!
SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME 0:37 what’s happened with the cow bells at miss st. The refs stopped the crowd from using them?
I need to know this as well
State fan here. The same rule that applies to the PA announcer in this video applies to the usage of cowbells from the fans. Once the offense is in formation they cannot be used until the ball is snapped.
@@stricklinatorrthanks
@@stricklinatorr, unfortunately State fans often “accidentally” keep ringing those darn things after they’re supposed to stop. It can be very annoying as an opposing fan/team.
@@stricklinatorrI personally think this rule is BS. Yes the PA announcer should not be allowed to use electronic means to disrupt the opposing team as they are in an official capacity. That said, however, fans like at Miss St. should be allowed to make as much noise as they want that's part of home crowd advantage. That's like telling a crowd they can't yell, cheer, chant, or talk when the opponent is in formation before the snap. That totally goes against and ruins the spirit of the game. There needs to be a much clearer, and more directed revision to the rule. You take the fans out of the game then you might as well not even play. Fans are just as important to the game as the players are as it's all part of the spirit of the game.
Colorado.... the Bud Light of College Football.
reminds me of one time when i was in the washington state band and we were told we had a warning about this before the game even started lmao, funnily enough it was stanford's football team who complained about it. we never got called out by refs for it my entire 4 years there
Comment from a Canadian. I remember watching Arena Football on TNN (remember them?) and Milwaukee had a team and they were penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct for playing music for their own team in pre-snap formation. The best part I remember hearing from Play by Play announcer Eli Gold (vivid memory of who called the game too) announcing that the penalty was against 'Music in Motion'. A local DJ service got a free plug on National TV. BTW, I'm not from Wisconsin but I wish.
Love that Ref. We need more like him!!!
"So the DJ can't spin" 😂😂
Correct call! The pa guy is an odiot
