That is the dumbest thing Ive ever heard. Those things have no place at a sporting event. They're obnoxious...

I just hope it's not a problem for the OSU defense while the fans are blowing these things...

Won't ever happen. So no need to even address what a dumass idea this is.

I'm guessing the NCAA will issue a statement on the vuvezelas very soon.

I'd love to see the NCAA ban all artificial noise makers.

Noise is not going to hurt defense.

I hate the idea as they sound really dumb. but so does the bells that is played on third down at EVERY STADIUM lol. its getting ridiculous. Especially when the home team is up 42-0 and it is 3erd and 20 in the forth quarter.

Football is a 3 hour broadcast of a 60 minute game with only 13 minutes of action. Retard

The Big Ten has specific policies that do not allow irritants or noisemakers, so vuvuzelas would not be allowed. Below is the specific language from our football game management manual.

A. Nonpermissible Items - The arena management is responsible for enforcing the Big Ten policies in this regard. The following items may not be brought into the arena by patrons: Alcoholic beverages, bottles, cans, cups or containers, irritants (e.g., noisemakers) or strobe lights. In addition, the facility may have additional restrictions on items that can be brought into the arena.

there's a reason the defense wants the crowd to be as loud as possible.
