Message: [QUOTE="NJCuse97, post: 2330598, member: 5058"] Ouch! I see your point, but ouch! And I thought the metal benches were tough on my posterior. Some of us aren't that old ya know. There is a bit of chicken and egg here. Do you foresake the older fans, who have stuck with this program through a pretty deep valley in part because they remember what it was like in '87-'02 (take note of the era all the song choices are coming from) or do mortgage the future of fan interest on those same people rallying to create an atmosphere others want to be a part of? I am not sure of the answer, but I'll say that in the same way we try not to start too many freshmen, and want to create quality depth, experience plays a part. If all that everyone complains about the student attendance is looked at critically, you realize the football program was never a draw for them choosing SU. We were too bad for that to be the case. How can you rely on them and their generation to recreate our swagger and energy? We're only talking about the orchestration of the entrance, and I'm sorry but there is no question as to who it's about. It's about the fans. Get them frothing at the mouth, and the team will feed off that. Every player on that team would rather that than to playing in an empty Dome with their Migos on over the PA for 3 minutes. If there is a more contemporary choice that evokes the right energy, I'm all for it, but as I've said, eventually that too will be dated. A timeless classic is needed. I'd like to see SU buy the rights to a song such as that and every couple years find an artist contemporary who does a new take on it so we have both tradition and new. Stevie Wonder Higher Ground. The RHCP did an excellent cover. What artist wouldn't want to do a rendition of a Stevie Wonder song that is also part of a perpetual tradition? [/QUOTE]
