    I made a few changes after finding some additional info:

    - Starting last season, Rutgers has their cannon on the field.

    - A member here says no, but an OS member says that Oklahoma State does have a cannon. May need to verify that one.

    - A member here says Clemson only fires cannon during the team entrance, but an OS member says they fire it after every score. Another one to verify.
    I've uploaded some more definitive proof.

    Picture (you can see the cannon on the top left)

    Video (cannon can be heard and flash can be seen at the top of the screen around the :10 - :11 second mark).

    I posted this over at OperationSports already, but I decided I'd join here too.

    University of Maryland. Still trying to figure out where this little arse cannon is, but here it is.



    On a mission. I will drive to campus tomorrow, during lunch and solve this mystery.

    Going to double-check through e-mail, but 99% positive:
    - No -- EDIT: Confirmed via E-mail. Cadets do pushups, no cannons.
    - No -- EDIT: Confirmed via E-mail from alumni.

    Want to also say - No, but not sure I'm going to be able to confirm. Gonna try though.

    I'm ashamed

    JB! I should know this. I went to many a football game when I was an undergrad a Maryland.

    So, now, I've got to figure it out.

    Good thinking on asking the fans of the school.

    University of Utah **Correction**

    **Correction**

    The University of Utah's cannon is a Modern Military Cannon, NOT a classic western. I was incorrect in my original information.

    I apologize for the mistake. Please update your records.

    Major kudos to cdj for creating all of those user accounts at the various college football forums to solicit information directly from the fans of each of those schools.

    If there was a :bow down: smiley here, rest assured that there would be at least a hundred of them to accompany this message.

    gschwendt actually came up with the idea and made quite a few first, so pass all credit on to him and also the folks at these sites who are helping us wrap up the list.
