Seriously! The Marching band is an integral part of college football. They should never have changed the entrance. Ever.
Re: Entrance to the field
Just as long as they don't run down into the goal post, I'm ok.
Maybe they could coat the ramp down to the field with something....it was a huge rush for the student section to start going ape **** while the team was hidden from the rest of the stadium....
Re: Entrance to the field
The helmet was gone two years ago. Last year was just the tunnel.

That would be best. Nothing represents the tradition of the school like the band playing Fanfare, ISU Fights, For I For S, Go Cyclones Go, Rise Sons... Basically let play music on the PA around the band. The 90's are over and so are Jock Jams.

They have '3-a-day Dairy Trivia' on the video boards at basketball games. Can't get much cheesier than that!!
Re: Entrance to the field
I know the idea has been brought up before, but I always thought building a replica of the Clyde Williams Field gates and having the team go through those would be really cool. A lot of tradition built in right away.
Re: Entrance to the field
Why do they even have to go in the locker room? Why can't they just get in a big group on the field and drink juice boxes and eat oranges while CPR goes over the game plan on a little chalk board? That is traditional. :jimlad:
How about we quit worrying about crap that doesn't matter and worry more about winning games. To be honest... I wouldn't care if they played their home games across the street on the practice fields if they win games. Winning will make everything better.
Re: Entrance to the field
I've been thinking we could start a new cheer:
I-State.....
Dominates!
I-State.....
Dominates!
Harder to chant would be:
This is domination by the Cyclone Nation, or
Cyclone Nation domination.
You get the idea.

They wont be coming down the ramp. Ive asked. Might as well get that out of your head.
Re: Entrance to the field
Whatever the team thinks will get them jacked up, I'll support.
