The band would be real cool if it were BAG PIPES.

The music is better than the band, i think

I have about two hundred friends to whom them would be fightin' words.

Fortunately, I don't care if you personally don't like the band. *shrugs* There are enough who do.

And yes, to always a falcon's post... it was kind of surprising to be marching on the field and still hear music over the loudspeaker.

I didn't like it at Wisky, I wasn't too big on it at the Doyt Saturday... college is for the bands, the NBA is for jukebox music.

That said, it would be damn cool if the band would learn more 80's TV theme songs than just playing "The A-Team" a couple times...

Maybe that can be our niche...

Looked up the song right after we played at osu. They played "We Ready" when BG was warming up on the field and our guys went nuts. I'm certain the players requested this as the introduction music. If fits well...

The version the team actually listens to is the We Ready remix with Bubba Sparxxx. I wake up to the song every game day before I put on the orange! The team started singing it in the tunnel the year GB took over. Someone started the we ready and everyone else joined up. Then GB blew the whistle and they went flying out the tunnel. When we got the new sound system, they started playing it over that but this year is different than last. Last year they did it when the guys were in the tunnel and they cheered with it, this year they are doing it when the guys are on the field.

I love the lyric "I'll serve your ass like John McEnroe, if your girl steps up I'm smackin' the ho"

Good catch...I found this one, but regardless, this tradition started in 2000.

IMHO, I wouldn't want to emulate a LOT of what Wisconsin students did. The Eat sh##, F##K You cheer was something to be really proud of.

Now, I know the Coach liked the atmosphere, but all of our students aren't drunk before the game llike UW.

We need to find our BGSU thing to own!

That's a bold statement

I agree we really need to make something of our own. Something that the crowd can be a part of.

It was kind of sad to hear more people singing A-Z-Z at the hockey game than the football game. Let's chalk that one up to freshmen...?

I'm really getting hung up on the idea Schade & I were discussing in another thread. It doesn't involve the students jumping up and down, but it would be BG's own "thing."

Can you point out a good spot for me to get this version on-line, I need to listen to this song before I play NCAA 2006 to get fired up!!!!!!

Sorry, wasn't sure if anyone wanted to hear the rehash.

This grew out of a discussion about the third down "Bell" thing they started. I wasn't there for it, of course, so I'm going on what I can glean.

Anyway, instead of that, here's my suggestion...

When the defense faces a third down (and maybe at the beginning of the fourth quarter), the announcer roars out "Fulllll Pullll!!!" followed by a roaring tractor engine and the crowd erupting with about 10,000 cowbells.

This gives us a sense of place. BG is a farming community. It's home to the National Tractor Pulling Championship. It's goofy, it's fun and it would be loud as he**!

And it would be unique to Bowling Green State University.

I know many folks here dislike the cowbell idea. Sorry, I love it. I like the marketing opportunities - Hello, John Deere? Want your logo on 50,000 cowbells?

Anyway, there it is.

Hey not bad...it's different. It's that kind of thinking we need.

The Bell thing goes on at every other college in the nation. I heard it today watching playoff baseball at both St. Louis and Chicago.

Oh yeah and they played the bell on second down on one of the series at the Football game.
