Fireworks carts on the field

Let’s have that smoke drift to the bench right before the defense takes the field. A little carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxide in their lungs is what’s needed to help chase down Cinci’s receivers.

Plus let’s just leave the fireworks cart in the field. Houston could use a 10 yard penalty in a tied game.

UT-Austin does something similar at the end of the 3rd quarter, except it is orange smoke and they fire it pretty much into the student section which is odd

Yeah, it’s common now.

But forgetting one of the carts so that a coach has to run to the end zone to move it is a fail.

We had a player run into a cart at Marshall.

The players were on the field waiting for the fireworks to end. The need to review the timing and choreography.

It makes me wonder if they even rehearse this stuff?

I love it. What we need is right at the climax have Ricky Logo run out of the fog naked swinging a chain and singing, “I wanna be your…lover.”

We did the slab entrance too, to make up for not having it a the start of the game. Timing was thrown off

I was surprised no one on the sidelines stepped up to help move a cart. Everyone was staring and watching but no one took action to help drag them off as we waited to start. A UH coach finally ran across the the field to help at the end when they noticed the delay.

Well, given that it isn’t something we normally see at home games, my guess is no.

One of my sayings at work is “prep don’t lie”.

I’ve said this before, but we only have 6 home games. No excuse to not prepare and get it right.

That caused a gruesome compound fracture to Patrick Edwards leg. It also drained the energy of our team at that point and we looked like a lot slower and less focused team for the rest of the game and we lost.

I was shocked that he recovered so quickly and played the following season.

I kept waiting for someone to take off the carts. There didn’t seem to be any sense of urgency until a fan with a sideline pass starting making his way to move the carts then one of our coaches ran in and did it. The refs were about to flag us if they took any longer.

The carts are lawsuits waiting to happen . An asthmatic student’s trip to the emergency room or a player / cheerleader running into them.

Some attorney’s going to make hay out of those carts…
