    Surprised it made its way back ... funny in small doses.

    However, I would not be upset if they got rid of the Money Down thing and the Drum Major Baton celebration.

    Isn’t money down pretty much student driven? They like it, they’re showing up in big numbers every week. I’m for letting them do pretty much whatever they want if it keeps them engaged.

    Money down is pretty bad. I had to tell those around me that they can be more effective screaming if their hands are used to direct their yells at the opposing team.

    I think the stupid "money down" nonsense started with Geoff Collins. It needs to be gone and stay gone.

    I’ve noticed that most people who get the baton after a big play seem to be indifferent to it or annoyed by it.

    Funny. I noticed the same thing. Most of the players have that “what am I supposed to do with this “ look.

    Agree with this 100%. Firstly it looks totally stupid, you need to be making noise, rubbing your fingers together does not accomplish this. Secondly, other teams have been taking out lunch money for years on 3rd down. Cup your hands and scream, shake your keys, ring a damn cowbell (OK maybe not that). Bring the noise!!!

    And? Everyone loves to complain about the students. They’re at the game and involved.

    Maybe I'm old and cranky, but I don't care for any of these three things. They're all dumb as shit.

    $Money down sucks, it was a remnant of the McElwain (maybe even Muschamp) era. It sucks because the Gators rarely got off the field on $Money down, which makes it even more embarrassing for the assistants jumping up and down with those dumb signs

    Move back you suck is a gem and I am glad it is back. 2019 FSU game - non stop admonishing FSU for breaking the rules!!
