huskeraddict Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Favorite 1999 - The new stadium front rising from the ground and the golden sower striking the Heisman pose was awesome. It was the first one I saw in person and it's always stuck with me. Honorable mention: 1995 - It was the very first that used animation and though it was very primitive it got the blood pumping. Least favorite 2003 - That was the first year they went away from the Tunnel Walk beginning with the flash and it showed they were running out of ideas. Honorable mention: 2002 - I don't know what it was about this one, but I just didn't like it. By the way, I was going to start another thread about this but if you look at the Tunnel Walks from 1995, 1996 and up until maybe 2000, the way the team came out of the tunnel was very business like. There wasn't any jumping around. This was a job to them and they came out with a "We're going to kick your @$$" swagger. That's what I think needs to be brought back. Quote Link to comment
np_husker Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I hope they do something different with the tunnel walk this year because there is way too much talking in it and you can't get loud because you want to hear what they are saying??? Who wants to hear Keith Jackson talk? He means the players saying "I play for Nebraska" Keith Jackson did it for me. Killed the whole tunnel walk. I didn't like anything about the tunnel walk last year. It was hard to hear, the Keith Jackson thing got old after the first game, and it did nothing to pump up the crowd. Quote Link to comment

I like the tunnel walks of the past that show different parts of the state. I think it's a cool way to include the entire state of Nebraska. Quote Link to comment
Axl_sued_me Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Personally I think the tunnelwalk is overrated. It's all build-up and no climax. Quote Link to comment

I like seeing the players jumping up and going crazy. It gets me even more excited as well. They look like they just wanna get out there, and win the game imo. GBR Quote Link to comment

General Blackshirt Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Is it just me or is the actual music of "sirius" hard to hear when your in the stadium?? i was thinking maybe i was higher than the speakers or something cuz i was way up in a corner, but it seemed alot quieter than i rememberd when i went last year...

HuskerRob Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 instead of the contender theme, they should put the "can you feel it" song into the first part of the tunnel walk, but without the talking...then start playing "sirius" when the players start walking out. that can you feel it song gives me chills every time i hear it!

bethelbacker Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I agree with the no-Keith-Jackson thing, but I love the contender theme and want to keep it. My favorite was the one with Ruud......"My brother played here.....My father played here....my uncle played here....tradition? I bleed Husker Red." Honorable Mention goes to Taylor's (colorado game?) where he says "It's been a journey....but the destination? Well worth it. Because there is No Place Like Nebraska." Quote Link to comment

I like the Contender theme also, but don't have players talk. Show highlights, big hits, big plays etc. Get the crowd rowdy and fired up. Quote Link to comment
cornhuskers4ever Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 My Favorite Tunnel Walk was the one during the 1998 season. Least favorite, I don't think I have one. Honorable Mention, I've only heard about it, but I guess one time when Kansas or KSU was at Nebraska they had a clip of Dorothy from Wizard of Oz looking around like she was looking at all the Cornhusker Fans, and she said, "Oh, Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas any more". Then the tunnel walk started. I'd love to find a copy of that. Quote Link to comment
