Watching the ND/Pitt game, and when they come back from the commercial for the start of the fourth quarter, what is the crowd singing?
Sweet Caroline.
I don't know whether to be proud, embarassed, or what.
What have we done? :biglaugh:

They know the magic behind the song. We are 4-0 when they played that song after the third quarter. GO STATE!

The Hawkeyes also "adapted" the term for A ROB for Adam Robinson, and claim they didn't take it from us. Kind of funny that Adam is a freshman, and Alexander is a junior.
Only because whoever decided to start playing that song in the first place wised up and stopped playing it when our team was getting their heads caved in. Its only played now if we're up on the opponent or have momentum (which is then usually crushed by the girly-ness of this song).Quote:

And everyone with the last name Robinson becomes "X-Rob" where X=first name initial.
and lastly, I'm a fun-hater.
They have a poll on cyclones.com the week before the game to choose the song for the third quarter. But, I do think they may change the song if the game isn't going our way. We are still 4-0 under it though.Quote:

Yes the poll means nothing. Pollard has said on the call in shows they play it if ISU is winning after the third quarter.Quote:

That makes sense then. What is the reason for the poll then???Quote:
