However, after researching Fort Riley Day, they do use a Civil War era cannon as well as howitzers (and "two High Mobility Mounted Wheeled Vehicles"). Sounds like it's only one game out of the year though so I'm sure EA probably wouldn't be able to program that specially for them.

Hey cdj, according to a friend of mine whos dad is a dean at Wake Forest University, no cannons at the stadium....

Thanks! Wake Forest now updated.

Wow guys, GREAT idea with the scout school stuff. Should have thought of that myself since I use the WVU board so much... Coming right along now guys. Great job.

:Fresno_State: - No Cannon.

No cannon. Red & white fireworks out of north endzone after TD & extra point.

:UNLV:

From this YouTube video of a TD scored in 2007:

Looks like there are fireworks on one side of the stadium but no cannon can be heard.


Also confirmed here

No cannon. They come out of the tunnel with fireworks going off on both sides as they enter the field.

:Tennessee:

Here's a video of a touchdown and extra point from Tennessee with no apparent fireworks or cannon:

I know that's hardly definitive in terms of there not being a cannon whatsoever, but it does answer the question as to what is done on a score.

OSUCowboyofMD!

You are da man!!!

Did you graduate from UMCP?

We need a picture of this so EA can get it in the game.

And a video of a touchdown for the TCU Horned Frogs:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBCe3SpsoDU

Hearing a foghorn/train whistle type sound effect after the score--and have heard that on multiple videos--but haven't found any footage or information to suggest that a cannon is used or present on scoring plays.

:Ball_State: - No cannon.

The band plays our fight song after each touchdown we score.

I've watched a decent amount of Tennessee games over the years, and all I can remember is hearing Rocky Top, with absolutely no cannon.

:Stanford:

A YouTube video clip from the student section of a Cardinal touchdown, the extra point, and celebration:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-3_g2UFH2I

Very loud train whistle, creepy-ass dancing tree, but no sign of a cannon to me.

:Indiana: - Yes

From wardhoosier:

There is a long barrel modern military style cannon just outside the stadium by the main entrances. There are two actually, and I believe they were taken off an aircraft carrier. They fire after every touchdown although I am not sure if it is just one or both.

:TCU: - No cannon

"No cannon. We use the FrogHorn. It's an air horn from a train."
