"Lighting the Y" should freaking light the Y, not turn the light on top of the

scoreboard on. That light is completely unnoticeable even at night. The ran cable to the Y on Y mountain a few years ago and can now turn it on with the flick of a switch. Granted it would still be anti-climatic during day games but it's better than the stupid scoreboard light now.

That segment is a really dumb thing. Especially for a day game.

Lighting that 60 watt scoreboard bulb, even at night is a bit anticlimactic.

I still look up at the mountain just in case. Pretty disappointing event.

As an out-of-state visitor at LES, I wondered about that "ceremony"

And give me some fireworks when both south end zone and the mountain light up!

Throw in a cannon blast on the side for additional effect
