Current cannon crew member speaking, we use the 105 howitzer for midnight yell because it can be towed behind a truck. That way, we can easily move it in and out of the stadium after midnight yell. Also, somebody earlier said something along the lines of us not firing after extra points. Last Saturday, the team scored enough just off of touchdowns plus other times we had to fire i.e. Bugle call, that we actually ran out of rounds
Running out of rounds because we're scoring is always a good problem! Ride On!

Anyone see the smoke ring from the cannon around the end of the second quarter?

Change!
Four cannons, one in each corner, elevated to that intermediate level that's open at the corners, each rigged to fire simultaneously

I realize this may not be a popular opinion, but the cannon is about the only thing we heard in NW corner. It is way too loud. Either tone it down or get it out of there.
This sir...is for you

not only are we keeping the cannon, we are adding a massive flame thrower on top of it and a 350 engine so they can ride it around the stadium and keep firing it all over the place

Forgot the extra shells huh? There was a time when we'd take a guy like you in the back and beat you with a hose. Now you've got your God-damned unions.

I wasn't sure where he worked. Loved to watch him play @ A&M and disappointed his career got cut short with the Cowboys. Hope he catches on somewhere he is happy.

I hosted a few combat vets both with PTSD who hated the cannon and the fireworks because it triggered them. They figured it out together after the first few touchdowns. I suggest you guys try to do the same. Peace, Baron.

I remember when Aggie Football was so bad we fired it after a 1st down.

you do know that we run the Air Raid right? Parson's needs to have a wagon full of ordinance for each game.

We used Spirit of '02 for the game, not sure what you were looking at when you thought you saw the 105 howitzer

It'seems because those sweet warning signs weren'the ready yet. They easily reduce the decibels 10 fold.

Ok well I'm not sure either. I stand corrected.
