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.

This might be a worse suggestion than the guy that said play "Pumped Up Kicks" to get the student section going crazy. Major fail.

Noooo, I just operate the play clock. Big difference!

Well maybe you will be promoted this week since the guy who operated the game clock let it run down when there was a timeout. Can't remember which quarter this was in but I remember looking at the scoreboard thinking it looked odd.

Sweet Caroline should only be played AFTER a victory.

This. It was much better last year when we used it as a victory song. Dont know why we're playing it in the break between 3rd and 4th again.

Pretty sure the loudest the fans got was during the singing of Sweet Caroline. Used to hate it...love it now. It's unique and gets the majority of fans involved/intersted.
The students performed great for the song. It is a keeper. Was this song written about Caroline Kennedy?

When on defense. 3rd down, crank up the chorus of Turn It Up from Texas Hippie Coalition.

Man if we could get some Lawrence Welk playing with < 2 minutes to go before kickoff

JTS WOULD BE ROCKIN!@!!@###!!!!@!#$%!!!!

Actually if they are going to do that I think CPR would honor a great Iowan like Andy Williams and play Moon River instead of Smoke on the Water this Saturday. :v_SPIN:

This week at JTS, a tribute to Andy Williams. Nothing but Andy Williams songs from start to finish. Moon River right before kick off to get the kids pumped up.
