Mavric Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 9. Nebraska, Tunnel Walk When “Sirius” by the Alan Parsons Project — the same entrance music the Chicago Bulls began using during the Michael Jordan era — plays over the speakers at Memorial Stadium, the Huskers sprint out of the tunnel. The new version of the Tunnel Walk includes fireworks. In fact, the revamped pregame extravaganza was so loud in early this season that several Lincoln residents reportedly called the police.

NUance Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Looks like the voting is still going on in that. At least it let me vote anyway. So fire up the Husker vote machine. Quote Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Agreed. Number 9 is a travesty IMO. Some of those are really stupid. Quote Link to comment

JTrain Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 As much as we love the Tunnel Walk, I think those on the outside will always smirk a bit at the fact that we jacked the song choice straight from the most famous sports entrance of all-time (Jordan's Bulls). That, and our crowd just never gets jacked quite like VT, Clemson or LSU. Also, I'm disappointed that they removed the Tunnel Walk video (once the music starts) for the first time in its history. Although there's a certain charm to the minimalism of it now... damn, I loved the cheesy CGI. And the extended ones from the epocson days were great. Quote Link to comment

That, and our crowd just never gets jacked quite like VT, Clemson or LSU. There are two different types of songs at sporting events. There are clapping songs, and there are jumping songs. Sirius is nothing other than a clapping song. When people suggest different ideas to replace Sirius, they never suggest anything other than other dumb clapping songs. Enter Sandman, which gives Virginia Tech the best entrance in all of college football and it isn't even close, is a jumping song. Coincidentally, people seem to enjoy screaming more after having jumped than after having clapped. It's weird how more body movement energizes a person isn't it? Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 You think the Memorial Stadium crowd would get that wild if we played a "jumping song"? I think it's more of a demographics thing than a song type thing. Quote Link to comment

I think it's more of a demographics thing than a song type thing. I think it is slightly a demographics thing, and if memorial was taught, it could get exponentially more wild than it currently is. Even if no single person outside of the student section and band started, that's about 9,000 more people losing their minds than current. When va tech starts playing metallica, every single person in that stadium is jumping or at least bouncing. You don't think they have at least a solid 10,000 or so 50+ year old fans? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blzftASduNc 1 Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Well hopefully somebody teaches us soon then. I'm all for it. Quote Link to comment
Taylor21 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Man, watching those Virginia tech videos gives me chills.. I know it's hard and almost impossible.. But imagine bringing the energy we brought during the Miami game.. Every game!! Quote Link to comment
