More than once, we’ve discussed the in-stadium environment at Mountaineer Field and if or how the new scoreboard, ribbon boards and audio system can affect the game. Really, what’s the point unless there’s a purpose and an impact.

Well, it seems the madness has delivered the desired result and the combination of sounds pumping through the speakers has rattled one opponent, according to Marshall Coach Mark Snyder.

On the music that played over the Mountaineer Field sound system Saturday and its impact on the game: What I thought was interesting last week was the loud music being played on the field all of the way up to the time the ball was snapped. You couldn’t hear yourself think. You couldn’t concentrate. You couldn’t communicate. I thought that was more devastating than the crowd noise, even though I thought their crowd did a great job. That noise went all of the way up until the ball was snapped. I guess it’s legal because they did it. What a great idea. Constantly. You can’t hear yourself talk. Yes, I guess that’s my point. You asked a question. I’m going to answer your question. I didn’t bring it up. You did. Yes, I would (like to do it here). It sure is (a great idea). I agree.
