First off...
Second, will it even matter? People in Berkeley don't really care about football and if the Vols get out to a big lead again, those things will be nullified.
But finally, I think it's really sad that the Cal athletic department thinks it needs to pump in artificial noise via the mini-megaphones to make their stadium intimidating, if that's what you want to call it. I think that says a lot about how much fans in the Pac-10 really don't care about football. It's more or less a social event to kill time on Saturdays. They don't live and die with their teams like SEC fans, hell even Big 10 and certain Big 12 (OU, Tex, A&M, Neb) fans are the same.
Go Vols!
Mini-Megaphones
I was first introduced to these at the '99 Fiesta Bowl, and we just put them up to our mouth, cocked our head back, and poured, ummm, water in them for consumption! They're totally useless to make the stands louder or anything. Sounds like just a gimmick to actually get folks in the stands. They better watch out though, I can easilly see the Vol fans turning their own 'weapons' against them.
But yeah, your # 2 and 3 paragraphs are right on!
