Why are there so many cryptic, uninformative thread titles on this message board?

Please God, make it stop.

It got worse since that thread where someone asked everyone to stop making cryptic thread titles.

At the current pace we might be waiting until 2021 to see the new entrance.

What!?

Im up for classics. I know I’m old, but they are timeless and appeal to the broadest base. The thing we lack as part of an intro ceremony is anticipation. That’s hard to manufacture. VT has a visible walk to the stadium that builds it. Wisconsin has 3 quarters of a game to build it. At tOSU the band builds it with the entire sequence ending with the “i” dot. Very hard for us to do and I don’t think some Medieval Times themed light show is gonna do it.

With Sandman or Thunderstruck, the song builds the anticipation too, but also has a chant or bang the seat back element.

In this vain, War Pigs is brilliant, but the theme of the song is a little heavy, especially for a school with such a veteran centered culture. Voodoo Chile Slight Return could be fun. Baba O’Reilly could tie with a lighting extravaganza well. Deep Purple’s Hush could also be fun. As a northern school in a southern conference, the Immigrant Song is a good one.

If we’re worried about not being contemporary enough, I’ve always liked Intro to PEs Enemy Strikes Black. Bring Tha Noise is a bit obvious and too political. There is a RHCP and LL CoolJ collaboration on the Private Parts soundtrack that is interesting called Back On Up I think. Rage Against the Machine’s version of Renegades of Funk might be fun.

Classics that are the Opposite of anticipation, quick hitters, include Tom Sawyer (and they’re Canadian). Rusty Cage is one I’ve always liked.

On that, I don’t know Drake well. Is there a good one from him that can capture the imagination of Canadian prospects?

OK, I’ve filled my annual quota.

I love the “Tom Sawyer” idea. Great song, builds, and we could represent Canada like you said.

Need a serious light show though. One for the ages that no other school does. We have a Dome and need to use it.

Do we have a Canadian flag hanging in the Dome with the USA flag? We should if we don’t.

 

[SURules]

Zeppelin‘s Immigrant Song could be good too. Get Jason Bonham and JBLZE to open the new Dome before a football game with a concert and end it with the Immigrant Song while the football team rushes the field in a massive light show.

Great list NJCuse97

No Canadian music allowed.

The question of what crowd to appeal to is interesting. I believe that the many of the players have their music on their phones and are tuned into in locker room via air buds. They want the crowd whipped into frenzy and I am sure they are fine with anything that will do that. Unless the last thing Va Tech recruiters say to potential players is “By the way are you fans of Metallica”?

The more I think about it, the Immigrant Song would awesome. That song has a great beat that would fit the Loud House and rocks, foot stomping, chair banging, what ever.

After all...

Everybody’s working for the weekend.

I might be a bigger nerd that you .. b/c I like Tattypoo- the name for the Good Witch of the North from Wizard of Oz. Since she wasn't actually in the movie, and her likeness is old enough, it's not copyright protected (always a plus). I can't imagine a better theme for a U like ours than Northern Lights/Good Witch of the North.

Tattypoo? Thought it was Glenda.

Tattypoo? Thought it was Glenda.

in the movie, the good witch of the north is called "Glinda". But in the novels, she's the Good Witch of the south and the good witch of the North is Tattypoo.

I wish there was a way to have them walk by the Ernie statue and tap it and then into the dome.

obviously this is an impossible feat but think it would be cool.

maybe they could pre record it and show it on the video screens as they are coming from the locker room with a heavy up beat rock song while the dome is lit in blue and orange and a ton of smoke pouring out of the entrance with strobe lights.

they run out with a decent size block s flag.

I just hope the crowd in the new roofed dome is energetic and way more into the game. Maybe one day we will reach the level where people are as into the games as those fans at New Era Field watching their Buffalo Bills.
