All the people that sit around me (including myself) would rather have the opposite. Leave the band out of the team coming on the field. Going from good pump up stadium music to the marching band is a downer IMO.

I'm with you here too - the band just doesn't pump me up.
Love the here the fight song after a score, but just doesn't do anything for me as the team takes the field

Don't we come out for the second half to Enter Sandman though?

I say do nothing..... no music..no nothing.... let the players show it on the field...and then let them leave....in silence LEt the fans make the noise

I think that would be the Gladiators of the old... go in take care of business and leave....

It's straight from baseball minor leages....the low minors. I think we should get rid of the inflatable tunnel and smoke nonsense and go back to something more dignified, like the students cheering as the coach leads the team down the sidewalk past the Jacobsen Building and onto the field.

I know at times people on the other side of the stadium weren't crazy, but we could easily put them on the big screen like they do now. I remember as a student NOTHING got me more pumped than when that big mob red came around the corner and started coming down the side then just exploded onto the field (of course we were winning more games then so there was more to be excited about)

what happens when he runs into the ******* goal post in the fog?

I doubt Coach Rhoads would like to put himself in the spotlight like that, but it would be a heck of a tradition that would get tons of national publicity. Plus, it would give me serious goose bumps.

this would be the last straw of lame gimmicks for me as a cyclone fan.

I remember last year the talk about having Slipnot with the song that has the siren at the start. Have them do a special ISU song. That would be awesome!

I'm with you, this isn't WrestleMania, this is an ISU home game. Cut to the chase and lets get the game going. I would like to see less of the Alumni director and the dumb cheers. Just my opinion, but it's tired and needs to go. Plus it drags on wayyyyyyyy too long.

Forget the idea of a motorcycle for the football game entrance... why not use it for basketball. I remember watching this on TV and getting chills. Yes it is lame, but what can i say...

CPR also took plane flying lessons, why doesnt he just jump out of a plane carrying a cyclone flag and throw it into the ground like Chief Osceola does a flaming spear for FSU?!?

I agree on all counts.

The coach will be leading them this year.

Either way, both should not play at the same time.

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.

All the worrying in the world by those who don't wear the uniforms will not make a bit of difference when it comes to actually winning games. If you want to worry about that, be my guest.
