gotchman Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Watching the VT entrance to Enter Sandman, it makes me wish we had a good rock song for the Tunnel Walk. I understand the stiffy everyone has over Sirius because of "Tradition", but the Tunnel Walk is less than 15 years old and is in need of a new song. Trying to think of a song that is rocking, something the fans could get into, and wouldn't piss the bluehairs off, I came to 1 logical song that I have never really seen brought up before in other threads. Thunderstruck by AC/DC. Somewhat slow build up and instead of "Thunder", the crowd could chant "HUSKERS". I think that would be pretty sweet, especially since the cheerleaders can't figure out how to do the "Husker Power" chant anymore... Thoughts on this? I mean, who doesn't get pumped listening to an AC/DC song? Quote Link to comment
Yellowjacketfan Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 "Put On" by Young Jeezy is of course the best pump up song of all time, followed by a close second "All the above" by Maino. Nothing beats rap for pump up purposes. But this is Nebraska we are talking about, so that has a snowball's chance in hell of happening. Quote Link to comment
I See Red People Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I don't think rap fits quite right. I actually like the idea of saying "huskers" instead of "thunder" if AD/DC were to be played for the tunnel walk. It's a great idea to get the crowd involved in the pregame. Quote Link to comment

gotchman Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 We tried rap once, or something like that with Mikey Bowe or whatever his name is...and that was a catastrophe... That said, anyone watching the Boise/Fresno game? Wow...turning into a track meet... Quote Link to comment

I'm gonna have to say that rap does nothing to pump me up.............It makes me throw up, if that counts. Instead of replacing the tunnel walk, I think the AC/DC thing would be something that could be done in the minutes leading up to the tunnel walk. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirtsguru Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 I agree....cRAP does nothing for me either! Quote Link to comment
Yellowjacketfan Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 How is there nobody on this board who likes rap? It is one of the most popular categories of music today ... probably the most popular among college students! Quote Link to comment

I don't think it's just Nebraska where this won't fly. I like Sirius, but it's only been around 15 years, and we copied it from the Bulls anyway. It wouldn't kill me to update it. But not for crap.

gotchman Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Oh no, keep the Tunnel Walk, but just update the song is what I'm saying. I love the old highlights, game calls, etc... Quote Link to comment

Husker Richard Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Thunderstruck by AC/DC. Somewhat slow build up and instead of "Thunder", the crowd could chant "HUSKERS". I think that would be pretty sweet, especially since the cheerleaders can't figure out how to do the "Husker Power" chant anymore... Great idea. i just listened to this song and the Huskers deal works perfectly in place of Thunder. This would be sick. Side note, at the ASU game last weekend, the Husker Power chant worked out great. Although the ribbon boards were off on the timing. Quote Link to comment

No offense and hope no one takes this the wrong way, but most Nebraska fans are white and do not relate to rap music. Most rap/hip-hop songs are about inner city issues or morals, which we don't care for nor about. Country is my favorite genre of music, but no way would I want a country song as the theme for the Tunnel Walk. Hard rock is definitely the way to go. Quote Link to comment
redout22 Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 How is there nobody on this board who likes rap? It is one of the most popular categories of music today ... probably the most popular among college students! I like rap. I don't think Put On is one of the best pump up songs though. I think We Ready by Archie and Let's Go by Trick Daddy, Lil John, and Twista are good pump up song. Also Halftime (Stand Up and Get Crunk) is a good pump up song. But anyway I like what we have now.

husker B-rent Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 for the record, i am white and i love oldschool rap music but to say that it pumps you up more than rock music is just asinine! very few rap songs pump you up but EVERY metal song pumps you up! keep the rap away from my huskers and on the dance floor..
