Money Down!

It’s annoying

And why isn’t it a money down when we’re on offense? It’s an important play then too. Makes it seem as if it’s inconsequential down on offense

It's cheesy now

BUT

fast forward - we start winning some big games, get on Saturday night primetime

We are ranked, and face a ranked opponent, we get a big third down stop

To celebrate, Tech fans throw cash bundles on the field. Actual money - a couple dozen fifty count stacks of $1 bills or something bigger for the folks sitting in the gold seats.

Twitter erupts: "lmaoooooo they are throwing stacks on the field in Atlanta"

All the money goes to the Isenhour toy drive. Croots love it.

NCAA gives us the death penalty. What a ride.

30 for 30: Wrecked Excess
 
This pales in comparison to Tennessee having Lil John make a “3rd Down for What” track and playing it every 3rd down.

Don’t mind the money down stuff at all, but I really miss hearing the whistle on first downs.

It must have been really debilitating to the defense when we had those games where we were 8 for 12 on 3rd down (and 3 of 4 on 4th). That whistle must have been like nails on a chalk board to them.

I have no issue with the signs on the sidelines and the students doing their thing, but hearing it announced felt over the top IMO.

Like the steam whistle sound, I view the Chords/F-tuning/etc. from the Band on 3rd and 4th downs as a tradition that should stay and not be effed with. If you wanna have the cards on the sidelines, cheerleader cards and "Money Down" on all the Boards then fine. Find some way to incorporate (and not lose) one of our long standing traditions. At 46 y/o, I am showing my age, but even my 13 and 17 y/o sons thought it was either "annoying" or "meh". They should find a way to make these work together IMO.

Regarding the whistle, I don't care about the animated version that (thankfully) has gone away or the faux whistle in the endzone, but a real steam whistle is a part of our school's history and should stay incorporated in the football games.

I think the announcer, any announcer, doing that kind of stuff ("First DOOOOWWWWNNNN", "3rd DOOOOWWWWWWNNNNN", "IIIIIIIITTTTTTT'S' MONEY DOWN!") is lame as hell regardless. Would rather have a signature sound whether it be the whistle, chords or some snippet of a song to signify those things.
 
Or maybe we could get Trump to do it on the Jumbotron. Get JJacket triggered. Put some pads on him and get a sack on money down.

I think you're underestimating how cool of a word "penultimate" is.
 
Beat a team to whom you lost last season? Do that in the second game of the season? Make a QB who ran for 2TD's and threw for 2 TD's last season against you look like it was his first game?
And then complain about some new saying they're using to pump up the defense?

We're Georgia Tech...we can do that!
 
Just play a cash register sound instead of articulating the money down stuff. What is it called when we need a 4th down stop? Seems anticlimactic after hyping the 3rd down.

We need 4. We get 2. Trump walks onto the field with 50 sharpies. Draws a line at 2 yards and screams "FIRST DOWN"
