"It is third down..."
Ahh, yes. One of my favorite Rutgers football traditions. The opponent faces third down. Two bells, signaling the playing of Metallica's classic "For Whom the Bell Tolls". Just hearing the iconic "GONG" in my head gives me goosebumps.
In unison, the student section raises its hands. Their index fingers and thumbs pinch together, while the other three fingers are fully extended to remind the opponent what down it is.
Enter Kirk Hammett's guitar riff. The students' hand formations quickly lower and mimic the motion of Hammett strumming his guitar. While the extended note plays, the students' hands rise up and move in an arc until the next riff.
