why we lost

by nep4life on Feb 6, 2009 7:57 PM PST

the terrible, terrible music that the PA played at OKC. ugh. are you kidding me? stop yelling at the crowd to clap your hands, my bro. and 'we will rock you, the cd skipping version' over the entire 20 seconds of a blazer offensive set with 5 minutes left? really? this is allowed? i was distracted. i was pushing napkins wide right on the way to the garbage pail. i missed the toliet with my nature calls. i missed the pillow with my head. i mean, its like psychological audio warfare. like what the feds did at waco. and then on the other side, oklahoma city needs to be prodded into clapping? they would love to clap but they just don't when?

could we have played better ? no. probably not. not with the distractingly horrible DJing of the THUNDERDOME.

though earl watson and nick collison would make a good master blaster.

these are just my observations. just my thoughts man...

I thought I was the only one that noticed that. I don’t think there was ever a moment during the game when music wasn’t playing or the P.A. wasn’t shouting. I mean, they played an entire song when the net had to be fixed.

yeah that brotha on the PA was annoying

For awhile I thought he would play Who You Gonna Call and goad the crowd into chanting Jeff Green or something.

I thought the refs were going to start dancing with light sticks.

Never will I complain about the noisemakers in any arena outside the Ford Center again.

I think someone should sue the Seahawks

For allegedly pumping in sound.
Then the precedent would be set to win the OKC baD MUSIC case.

awful

I can’t believe the fans actually clap when they play that dumb mcdonalds commercial song. If I was sitting by the DJ I would pour beer all over his equipment.
