"New Traditions" Card

[JoeFalcon]

As has been stated, the idea was a good one, but why not send around cards with what we already do? I dig me some Neil Diamond, but the Sweet Caroline thing is downright learning disabled. There are plenty of other songs (as has also been stated) that we could make our own.

The idea was hatched after a 3:00 AM showing of Saving Silverman on Comedy Central.

+1 on the rest of the post as well. If this cockamamie plan is supposed to be our athletic department's version of Vatican II, I second the opinions of those who believe we're not exactly in need of one.

As long as Dayon can still throw tootsie rolls when we score touchdowns - I think all is ok
Besides, none of the stuff on this so-called traditions card will catch-on and we all know it.

That whole Falcon First down... wow... Miami has done this for about a decade... and it took about 7 years for it to fully catch on... as for music...

Take just about any Papa Roach song as an opening for the game or as something to pump up to... and it would actually be original.

Traditions start somewhere... unfortunately they aren't normally spontaneous, name the last spontaneous tradition that you all are all clamoring for!

I'd like to see us stick with "We Ready" as intro music with better work on the gameday/video production side. Bring everyone into it including the PA answer (God? Please make sure the past couple season's PA announcer is fired.)

See this video from Georgia Tech? This is what our athletic department should shoot for. Use the media guide as a theme if you want with the movie reel theme. This kind of video gets me pumped up and I'm not even a Jacket fan:

Here's another video they played before their Homecoming game:

AD Christopher, we ask you to upgrade our stadiums ,arenas , or build new ones if possible and bring BG upto par with every other Mac school at the very least , but we didn't hire you to change every freakin' tradition we falcons hold dear. Please let what you've done so far be the end.

How is this Christopher's fault, when did he become head of the marketing department. I'm shocked no one has blamed Brandon for the ones they don't like

Well, who ever the "genius" was that came up with this , needs to stop messing with what works. There's a saying " if it ain't broke" yadda yadda.

Now those are some pretty sweet videos. I'd be more than happy to put something like that together for BGSU...... if they paid me well enough.
