Almost all of the suggestions on that petition are way, WAY worse than Smoke on the Water.

I would like to put my vote in for Ride the Lightning by Metallica. Since we open with the storm warning I thought that it would be fitting as our entrance music.

Edit: Or another would be Enter Sandman. Crank it up and really get the fans going.

I like it, but Iowa does that already I think so no thanks. I think something like Metallica's Small Hours would get the crowd going. It would get me going.

It really should be up to the players. The only downside is most of the fans wont care for the song as much.

Though, if I could offer a suggestion it would be "Cant Hold Us" by Macklemore.

If we replace "Smoke on the Water" I would prefer Saliva - Ladies and Gentlemen

Really it should be skipping the song entirely. Just run on out to the field upon completion of the "cyclone weather alert"

Why do some keep saying it should be up to the players?

The intro music is probably just as important in helping get the crowd fired up as anything else. If you don't think that is important, then yes, pick some song that will have the crowd half-*** clapping (at best).

If instead you think there is a benefit to help get the crowd fired up (and entertain them so they keep coming back), then maybe leaving it up to the players isn't the best option.

I have an idea and it is really simple as far as I'm concerned. Why don't we start with the cyclone weather alert, and then break into the intro video. At the end the team runs out to the fight song. I really think the biggest problem is it just takes to long.

Leaning towards what you said. Crowd is going nuts typically when that weather alert goes off. It's eerie and just insights a feeling of hostility IMO.

Is this a 2007 Lazerfest show? Gross.

I don't like today's rap, but blare some hoodrat music as loud as it will go. Most big-time programs put on what their players want to hear. Freakin' KU basketball, in all their weird rituals in one of the most historic venues in sports, plays loud rap music, and the place goes nuts.

Please not Lose Yourself by Eminem, USC uses that song already and I hear enough BS already about stealing their colors.
