The suggestions for the scoreboard operator thread

Beautiful song anywhere besides a football game

I like having unique traditions...including some traditions that leave other fans thinking "WTF?" It helps create a unique fanbase culture....it's all about the peculiarities. I hope Caroline is played the next 40 years...

People can and will debate their taste in music from now until the day they die and not agree. Tastes vary and the AD has to deal with this broad spectrum. Let it go,..... would be my advice.

Well in that case I suggest Ode to Joy :smile:

Sweet Caroline is not a unique tradition to ISU. Blah.

Hey you kids, get off my lawn! We pay more than you, you have no vote. Sit down!

Get over yourself. College football is about the students. While the geriatrics in the crowd may pay more for it, the university is about the students. I am sure when you were 20 and they played contemporary music at the games, the donors were upset that it wasn't all big band music. No one is going to agree on all the music, why don't you try and enjoy yourself.

Stairway to heavan??? Horrible idea. If you can play a song at a funeral. It shouldn't be played at a football game. I think they do good on the scoreboard songs. Its the bands choices of songs that sucks. Pregame band is great. Halftime band is horrible.

 

[Cyvilian]

Sweet Caroline should only be played AFTER a victory. Stairway To Heaven...really??? Bad idea.

Since the complaint is funny, I assume that we could retitle the thread "Tears of a Clown."

Of course, that might lead to other problems.

I think the crowd would get more into the game if this song played:

The volume was to low last night, you would think the volume would be more consistent guess not.

Playing this on the giant video screen would be the greatest thing ever.

This thread is invalid because these are suggestions for the guy that plays the music, not the scoreboard operator. You clearly do not have a clue.

I have a few. JFC, don't play a single song by Neal Diamond until the game is iced. Last night "it" was played between the third and fourth quarter.

Turn the volume down. You're trying too hard and your sound is distorting badly. Kind of defeats the purpose of spending all of that money on those speakers, to get crap out of them.

I have finally seen the value of playing (c)rap during the game. It appeals to the under 30 crowd and it is kinda inspiring at times. But, how about the rest of us. There are classics that are known to the young fans that would really fire up the majority of fans, you know, the ones who pay most of the bills. Many songs by Steppenwolf would fit the bill like MAGIC CARPET RIDE when ISU is pulling away a little, or even better STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN when we are really rallying or doing well. The place would rock. Classic songs to get people in the right mood by the Beatles or perhaps the Rolling Stones would fit the bill.

One of the three songs that we were supposed to vote on the other day was Miley Cyrus. I mean come on. Was that a football game or a bubble game convention? :smile:

Your suggestions.

I want the ticket taker to have the decency to actually take my ticket like a professional. None of that, "Your wasting my time" attitude stuff. Bull! I paid good money for you to take my ticket. I have to speak to Jamie about this!!! THIS MUST BE FIXED!
