Or maybe everyone in the crowd can be doing this:
"Fly in Any Weather" by Birdman. You've got birds, you've got inclement weather...I mean the song was pretty much written for us.

If we're going the rock route we could have at least gone with Slipknot. I'm not a fan really but they are Iowan at least and that music came out of Iowa. If that doesn't resonate with fans then I don't know what would. Thunderstruck by AC/DC reeks of "we don't want to ruffle the feathers of the demographic of our main donation pool".

You serious, Clark?
I'm sure a few players wouldn't get pumped up by it, but I'd wager a majority of them would.
Not to mention like others have said, a pumped up crowd does more for the team's psyche than a minute of a damn song.
Seriously, how hard would it be just to use the new version of Jake McDonough's song.
If we run out to Kanye can we tell Oklahoma we made them famous after they blow us out again? Or make demands that Nike let us design Michigan's uniforms? There are a lot of possibilities here.
Hey I'm all for playing as many relevant ghetto gangsta ill beats during the game as possible. But for entrance music? Nah, dawg. Here's what'll happen:
Boom! Fireworks! Queue slow beat over repetitive loop with some dude abusing the English language with as many grammatical errors as possible. A few drunk chicks who normally don't pay attention anyways start to grind in the student section. The other kids half heartedly bob their heads while staring down at their phones.
Meanwhile, a vastly creamy white crowd of Midwestern plain folk stare blankly while thinking to themselves: "This... isn't... working..."
Hey at least we played something hip for the millennials.

Not buying that at all. This new coaching staff has been the epitome of being with the times and really resonating with recruits, and the demographic of young players and students. A 26 year old entrance song goes against all marketing that has been done thus far. The whole argument that it "fits with Cyclones and lightening and blah blah blah" is stupid. If that's the case should we play Cyclone by T-Pain & Baby Bash? The song is played out. Unoriginal. Disappointing.
So Jump by Van Halen wasn't an option? Not sure how jump all the way from the 1970s to all the way to the 1990s (early). Heads will explode.
I don't hate the song and its a def upgrade from the other one. But wondering if this is like a coaching search......"it could be the one no one is talking about...."

Weird, I'm 20 and when I was in high school we had AC/DC on our pre game playlist. Still on my workout playlist too..
Slipknot is so bad. Maybe 3,000 people in the stands would know they're from Iowa.
There's also a YouTube video of a guy that plays it on flaming bagpipes. That doesn't make it a Scottish punk song.
My dad is 57 and his favorite group is fleetwood Mac and his favorite artist is Stephen stills. He knows Slipknot is from Iowa so I think your number is probably low. You'd have to live under a pretty big rock not to know that Slipknot is from Iowa...
Your totally right! Why play something different when we can play another overrated rock song from decades ago. I mean it worked out so well last time and everyone loved it.
