Sioux vs Idaho

[dmksioux]

I'm not a Nickelback fan whatsoever, so I couldn't even begin to tell you what song it is. A person standing next to me during the rehearsal told me it was Nickelback, so I'm taking their word for it. And apparently I'm wrong about big schools coming out to something other than the school song. Maybe I'm just used to how it's been. Either way, I don't like it. But if it gets the crowd into it and makes the Alerus Center a harder and more intimidating place to play, then I might just have to get used to it. I think the fact that the athletic department has all but taken the marching band out of the equation it what has really pissed me off.

Do you know if they intend to still play the School song. I don't see anything wrong with having the team gather in the endzone as the Nickelback song is playing with an intro video. They could break into the school song immediately after all the players make it to the sideline.

I could see that plus after every score and quarter. Its not like that will ever be retired....however this is the last year for Fight On Sioux enjoy it people.

A team should always come out to their school song not a top 10 hit. We are not a professional team, we are a college team with a band and a school song. If we don't have "Stand up and Cheer" played when our teams come on the field, so we can STAND UP AND CHEER, when should it be played? Who's idea was this?? What is the thinking behind blowing tradition?

As for a Nickelback song - could it be their remake of Saturday night's all right for fighting???

Totally agree.

Everybody probably should relax and see what happens. I have a feeling they will handle the school song with due respect. We will just have to see.

Amen!!! Lets see what it's like before judging. There is a reason for this: If the gameday atmosphere wasn't broke, they wouldn't be fixing it.

Basically this is what happened. The athletic department told the band about their new plan. So the band will now be marching in the dark. Ever seen a marching band march in the dark? Of course not! That's completely absurd! Well, that's their idea for the marching band. So the band would be standing on the field, in the dark, during both videos and while the team runs out to the Nickelback song. Then, once that is over, the National Anthem will be played, THEN the band will play the fight song and march off the field. It's a total slap in the face to the marching band, whether it was on purpose or not.

Honestly, I could care less about the band. I go to the FB games to watch FB. I will enjoy the band when we score a TD!

IF the band is the reason you are going to games well, at least your going I guess. But the team is the attraction, which is why there is a FB message board, not a marching band message board.

Someone actually suggested THUNDARstruck for an opening/intro song? Are you completely inept? Or was that a shot at NDSU?

Since when do they own the rights to the song. Just like Va Tech doesn't own Enter Sandman. I thought of songs that would pump up a crowd.

Then you completely fit the stereotype of UND copying NDSU or Grand Forks copying Fargo. We build a dome, you do, we go DI, you do. Seriously? You thought of that one particular song? WOW

I don't go to the games to listen to the band, I got to watch football. And I'm not trying to turn this into a marching band message board, I'm simply explaining what the new pre-game will consist of. I think I have every right, just like everyone else, to voice my opinion. It's funny though that you say you could care less about the band, but then go on to say you will enjoy the band when we score a touchdown.

Amazing how much you know of me, and BV. Downright scary actually. I have no clue who you are, but you seem to know me and my posts, weird. Pretty cool that you mentioned the #1 recruit in the state going to SU.

Do us all a favor and go get some kleenex and head back to your Es vid on YouTube!
