Most dead homecoming ever

Predicable. Getting crushed in Boise and Brookings will do that. Some redemption potential vs NDSU next weekend …

This.

Yep. Been saying that for a while. The program changed today.

It’s like the first 4 min mile. The flood gates have opened

Kudos to the alerus center for being chill and letting the students/fans celebrate on the field … even provided party music

I heard that the president had a bit of sway with Alerus Center in allowing it to happen. Whether true or not I'm glad they got to do it.

So while I agree with the idea that traditions can’t be forced, that doesn’t mean you can’t try something and it might work. 
 

In Ames Saturday, I got to experience the “Juicy Wiggle” song and choreographed dance by the Cyclone faithful. They started this in 2018 and Have done it pretty consistently at football and basketball ever since.   They play it after a big moment in the game or to get the fans going. It was amazing. 
 

Would love to see something like this at the Alerus and potentially at the Ralph, Betty, etc.

Song for reference!!  They pumped it pretty loud at the Jack!!

How about Hey Ya by Outkast.  Would live to see 10000 plus shake it like a Polaroid picture.

I would say To y Keith’s “A Little Less Talk And A Lot More Action” or “Get Drunk And Be Somebody” would appeal to almost every age group!

The first one would be a no brainer (maybe a little too realistic or slightly offensive?). The second might not apply but a real dance song!

UND has historically been tone deaf when it comes to being engaging with the Alerus atmosphere. A night game with an outdoor concert is a nice touch, but what you do inside the building (both entertainment/music/presentation and on the field product) is still the most important. We’ll see if 2024 is any different, but based on how staffing has been handled, I won’t hold my breath. I’m just hoping for a good football game and a UND victory, anything else is just extra.

Looking ahead to our home games this season, I wonder if they will switch anything up. New 3rd down or touchdown song?

I know the helmet isn’t usable anymore but they could improve the intro compared to the last couple of years. Would be nice to have a dedicated song to run out to, and actually show on the Jumbotron the opening of the locker room doors with Schmidt leading the boys out.

I wonder if they can get a more updated inflatable helmet with the Hawk logo?

It is a must. I’m optimistic…

The first 30 seconds of this would be cool for the hallway walk....might have to be mashed into something else then when they run out onto the field as the apex.

but please don't have the coaches lead the team on the field anymore...nohting is more intimiadating than a 60 year old man with a bum hip trying to look tough for the camera...captains with the flags lead em on.

Or we should have Fighting Hawk and the Cheerleaders lead them onto the field.  Fighting Hawk doesn't  need to stand on a Ranger plus that can be dangerous. Plus we should have Fighting Hawk carry the flag onto the field.

Have Schmidt lead them in the hallway, captains can lead them once they are at the entrance to get on to the field 

[FSSD]

701 - lead them onto the field.

I have some friends that are coming to the first game. Would it be best to recommend buying day of to avoid Ticketmaster fees? What time on game day is the box office open for walk ups?

[SIOUXFAN97]

they still using the metal detectors?

[F'n Hawks]

Intro still sucks 

[fightingsioux4life]

Half the speakers don't work.

I’m always amazed by how bad the sound system at the alerus sucks.. total bush league.  Davies high school has a better sound system. 
 

if only the alerus admin had a few months to prepare for the season opener 😀

Anyone else notice the out of town scoreboard showed North Dakota vs Tennessee st and South Dakota vs Montana st, rather than NDSU and SDSU.  I think they finally fixed it in the 2nd half.  Need to do better.
