in general I'm in favor of dropping recorded music and focusing on the band. However I do get sick of being the only one around me that knows the words to the fight song (not Red & White) and the Alma Matter. It shouldn't be that tough but our fans apparently can't catch on to the words.

(I was impressed how many people stayed and swayed to the alma matter, but most did not sing along)

So do you mind explaining how the NC State intro is better than 2 of the best in all of college football (VT and Clemson)? Take off your NC State homer hat for a second and think about that.

"?????? You were in the NC State marching band? This must have been more than six years ago..."

Yep. I've been at a few games since then. I know Garcia is much more professional about things than Fuller, and we've come a ways in a few years, but I still don't see the precision or musicality of, say, FSU, who has actual music majors in their band.

Hopefully they at least allowed them to bring back the "Hey" song permanently after it got banned for the most retarded reason possible.

Anyway, back to this...

I'd rather see the In Da Club intro than hear that song again.

is the guy that used to be at UT still at State? is he the actual band director?

I noticed at the game last Thursday that State was playing almost the same exact songs we played at UT when he was here



^ haha, the bouncer tells the other team to go to the back of the line hahah

yes, Dr. Garcia went to Tennessee.

9/9/2009 12:23:16 PM

^ he came in as an assistant during my last year in band. i noticed that we play a lot of the same songs UT used to play after seeing a rerun of the 1998 (?) Orange Bowl on ESPN Classic. he's got the energy, but all the loud drum beats and blasting on bass trombones or running onto the field or referring to yourself as "THE (self-proclaimed) MOST DANGEROUS BAND IN AMERICA!" in the world doesn't make you a good band or make your school have more tradition. get rid of the recorded music and come up with an intro that doesn't include stupid rock videos and then get better people in band by properly compensating people and then we can be cool.

Also state could come through the velvet ropes and we could have big ass bouncer guys shake their heads and say no to the other team coming on the field, make em wait a while

So here's the thread to talk about the Football intro from our first game.



It fucking sucked a fat dick. Get that shit out of here, worst I've seen since I came to NCSU back in '98

9/9/2009 12:36:01 PM

yeah, I am all for traditions, bands etc. no rap, no metal, etc.

weird seeing it from this angle

9/9/2009 1:08:07 PM

The best tradition in football is still the freakin live buffalo at Colorado, as much as they may suck.

9/9/2009 3:01:11 PM

ITS GONE.

9/9/2009 5:14:56 PM

^ wat

9/9/2009 8:50:40 PM

Hoping this weekend's gave features a live performance of the song on a hydraulic platform emerging from under the field

and then the team runs a badass play

9/11/2009 12:52:45 PM

^ to set the tone

"okay.... for armed forces day we use American Badass by Kid Rock. On the screens is the running wolves video but super-imposed behind the wolves is a waving american flag. We use red & white fireworks as usual. Two howitzers will be rolled onto each side of the tunnel and will be fired on entrace. Also timed perfectly will be a squadron of F-22 Raptors and a squadron of MV-22 Osprey."

Have the team ride out in tanks. Wilson gets his own Transformer to ride on, like Optimus Prime. TOB comes out dressed like Master Chief and firing plasma blasts at the other team. Then we drop an atomic bomb on the opposing team's stadium live on the jumbotron. Finish by playing Limp Bizkit's "Rollin".

9/15/2009 1:06:15 PM

what if everyone came out of the cave on bicycles holding up a plate of pancakes? Mr. & Mrs Wuf run out behind them with giant bottles of syrup. Van Halen's "Panama" blaring in the background.

that'll get some folks outta their seats

9/17/2009 12:50:33 PM

^Are you high?

9/17/2009 1:09:23 PM

didn't think it was the most outrageous suggestion

[Edited on September 17, 2009 at 2:12 PM. Reason : that goes to the giant dick squirting at everyone]

9/17/2009 2:12:35 PM

Have the teams ride out on their segways. Play the song "Animals" by Nickleback. Show a video of a wolf raping the other teams mascot.

9/17/2009 3:39:48 PM

Let's do some weird experimental surgery on TOB to make him half-man half-wolf. He'll run out and kill/eat a ram at the 50 yard line, then the team will rise out of the ground like Thriller zombies. Then he'll blow the whistle and them team will run an awesome play just to set the tone.

9/17/2009 4:05:10 PM

good god you guys give these up

9/17/2009 4:23:11 PM

these are pretty funny

9/17/2009 5:02:41 PM

we could have Mr and Mrs. Wuf come out and aimlessly wander around for 20 minutes totally killing the mood... oh wait.. already do that

9/17/2009 5:09:48 PM

Show Fox 50 ads for the last 20 min. before the kickoff, then when the team runs out, show that ad where Mr. Wuf goes to Lowes.

9/17/2009 5:17:12 PM

have the team start to come out but then cut the lights off so it gets pitch dark (4 night gamez only) and then have everyone tackle obrien and the other coaches.

and then run a sweet play, to set the tone.

10/13/2009 6:05:13 PM

that would be some tight gangsta shit

10/15/2009 12:45:08 PM

How about we bring back the fumblecopters and see if they can knock down passes.

10/15/2009 1:41:44 PM

new entrance to be debuted this weekend!

all offensive players run out while defensive players accidentally take the wrong turn over and over backstage ala spinal tap and end up at Cardinal Gibbons instead, being led by Mike Archer.

and then they run a sweet play.
