But at the start of the second quarter, as the Cardinal were trying to get a snap off on 3rd-and-1, an official had to tell the Folsom Field public address announcer to tone it down.

"Would the public address announcer please stop playing while Stanford is in formation, ready to snap the ball," the referee said. "Any more playing of the music and sound effects will result in an unsportsmanlike conduct foul against Colorado."
