Jock Rock for KU game....pumped up kicks

[wxman1]

I am a student and all your ideas and that song are stupid and have been discussed numerous times here.

The day smoke on the water is no longer our walk out song is the day CPR is not the coach here. The rap songs during pregame are for the players and they have actually put the play lists together themselves, same for bball.

I agree on keeping sweet caroline for after the game but not 10 minutes, maybe right as the game ends or something like that.

This is about as bad as an idea as the whole student section doing the bernie during the OSU game randomly that has a facebook group for it.

This needs to not happen either.

Now what's wrong with the Bernie?

my fiance's roommate is all pumped for that and is constantly complaining because the athletic department won't play it. We had never heard of it so she showed us the video...stupidest thing ever. I don't even get what's enjoyable, cool, funny or whatever they think is good about it.

OK, The guy who runs the big music box at Jack Trice, here is what you are going to do:
--No warm-up thug rap please. You can play some 1980's fat boys or maybe even some MC Hammer too legit to quit. Just kidding, but to play the absolute CRAP that they play pre-game has gotten offensive to me. The story I hear is they just carte blanche broadcast the player's request "becuase it gets them pumped up" or whatever. Put something on the air that is mildly, tangibly popular.

--Smoke on the Water is cool for the beginning of intro, but it has not crescendo, no climax. I keep waiting for more. It is 2011, and I know we have had the technology to mix music since, oh, 1915 or so. Please mix Smoke into something a little more rousing, please.

--Sweet Caroline will continue to be banned until 10 minutes after the victory.

--It would be good to hear some more original scores.....I hear the same "Ohhhhhh, oh-oh-oh-oh, ohhhhhhh" bass riff at about three different games this year (different schools) AND on television games too(anyone know this riff? It is annoyingly catchy). These schools all copy each other, and ISU seems hell bent on being a copy cat instead of an orignator.
I suggest "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People for end of third quarter this game....that song is freaking infectious...I can't get it out of my head.

--No more "Cyclone, First down!!!!" thing. DUMB!!!!!!!!

--More cow bell.

The "Ohhhhhh, oh-oh-oh-oh, ohhhhhhh" is probably the opening riff from Phantom of the Opera. It's pretty popular for big defensive plays, just like "Mars" from the Planets Suite by Gustav Holst. Also, our Third Down cheer is used by other schools.

Two things:

-Pumped Up Kicks is a great song, but a terrible choice for a football game.

-Student section doing the Bernie is f'ing awesome. The reason that ISU doesn't have any cool traditions is most of our fanbase just regards any idea like that as stupid or embarrassing.

The Bernie is embarrassing. I laugh when I watch this video.

Perhaps as an alternative for Pumped Up Kicks, we could play Luka by Suzanne Vega at Jack Trice.

Pumped up Kicks? Never heard of it.

LOL, one of my buddies set that up. I think it's hilarious.

You think doing the Bernie would do a good tradition?

Pumped Up Kicks was great 3 months ago...and then the radio ruined it by playing it nonstop...either way, it's no good for a football game.

[Al_4_State]

Bernie is freaking hilarious.

And even better, I've never heard of any other student section doing this. Absolutely every tradition in college football is patently stupid when you view it in a vacuum. What it makes it is when the fans really embrace it.

But as usual, the majority of ISU fans have a stick up their *** and are too worried about being taken seriously to have any fun.

I would be welcoming of something actually cool, but the Bernie just sucks IMO. (Like Soulja boy. Just too cliche.)
