Really wish we had an atmosphere like VT

Yeah it’s impressive. The pregame music and environment sucks at WVU now. Last time they had an electric game was when College Gameday first came to Morgantown In 2011 vs LSU.
Here’s the clip
WVU is too busy playing 7 nation army, cotton-eyed Joe, and Country Roads.
I fvcking despise cotton eyed joe. Way to perpetuate hillbilly retardation.
As for the curmudgeons who harp on the standers. Honestly, piss off. I don't care if you're old. Don't come to a sporting event and expect everyone else to accommodate you. Take your baby boomer entitlement and shove it. It's like going to a club and demanding they turn the music down.
Skyhawkballess is one of those self-hating WVU fans...Everything is better somewhere else.
…. and being there (LSU), the WVU band performed the same pre-game show they still did today.
Tradition performed by a multi-award winning college band.
Go back to the elementary school play ground, no one is impressed.
No one brags about a band unless they are a band dork. Hate to break it for you. As a player, the music pumps you up, not Pete playing his flute as hard as he can.
Fans dismiss success of rivals (or any other school) in irrelevant sports and laugh at them when they brag about it, but hypocritically make a big deal about the forgotten sport if their school has success in it.
Look at Marshall and WVU. All of a sudden, MU starts acting like they care about soccer. WVU fans act like Rifle and 25 year old band awards are something to beat our chests about. Rifle is FAR less prestigious than swimming and we all know that we'd be laughing at tejas if they came on this board and started bragging about their swimming titles after losing to WVU in football.
Nurse Betty should know a thing or two about playing an instrument
Plays one hell of a skin flute.
Isn’t that right Skyhawk

I'll have to disagree. Watch SEC games. They don't pump in music as much as we do. They use the bands. Example: Tennessee and Rocky Top.
Remembers when he was playing Pop Warner Football how much the music pumped him up when he was playing guard and tackle.
Guard the water cooler and tackle anyone who tries to steal it

I'm watching Penn State-Auburn right now in Happy Valley (on TV). Their band playing, not music on the speakers.
Poor Piccolo Pete upset that his band gear doesn’t get him the dick anymore.
Sad way to live.
LMAO...Jethro is beyond pathetic....
I didnt think it was possible to be dumber than turdboy but you are giving him a run.
You ever leave southern W.Va.
My guess is no.

VT has 60 seconds of pure excitement then follows that up with 60 minutes of humdrum football. They leave Lane Stadium full of disappointment, bitter tears, their pre-season national championship win, and the rest of their delusions of grandeur. It also helps that those tears help wash the dust off that has collected on that national championship trophy case that forever remains unfilled.
We don't want that a bit.
Singing Country Roads yesterday with 60K tops any of that jumping around crap those chumps do.

I've always thought vpi's entrance is incredibly lame. Not so much the actual entrance and song, but that they act like it's some organically-grown, historically-laden tradition. You co-opted arguably the biggest metal song in history and act like your school did something special.
Oh, your school plays its school song, a pansy *** orchestral suite, sings a song literally about your state, and forms a moving outline of the weirdest shaped state in the country? Lame. We play a Metallica song.

So when you are backed into a corner because you are proven wrong (again) the play ground BillyBadButt pulls out the name calling.
Once again. It is called Tradition.
I heard that Bluefield State is bringing back football. Why don’t you run down there and teach them how it’s done since you, being the expert, knows so much about crowd control.
Know where this post is coming from. The OP is malcontent and if WVU and VT's entrances were reversed, he'd be complaining about the lack of history or band tradition. Does not matter the issue, if WVU does it, the OP will denigrate it. Fuuck him.
I don't believe that. I know him from waaaay back to the days of tristatepreps. He's always been a WVU supporter.
I can't speak for the way back days, but for the last few years I only see posts from this guy with negativity regarding the football program. Anything close to positive is ignored or unfairly maligned.
I'm all for calling balls and strikes as you see them. However, when you only show up to call strikes it hurts your credibility.
Wrong. I’ve complained for years about cotton-eyed Joe and 7nations army always being played. I think VT has the better entrance and always have thought about it. If Metallicas best song can not pump you up at the beginning, then I don’t know what to tell you. Others may hate Enter Sandman as a song, and that’s ok. Some May think that 7 nations army and cotton eye Joe are good songs, and that’s fine. But if you did a poll asking which is the better song, it would be Enter Sandman.

No, ask the players what pumps them up. There’s a reason they blast different music when having practices or when they are doing the walk throughs. The band can have whatever they want or do, but it’s nothing to brag about And thump our chests over.
i hear that you’re a “supposed coach”, sounds like you should apply for the job.

Couple of things. First, I was referring to the OP Vault Hunter which is the source of the entire thread. I apologize for the confusion. Second, you are nuts if you think "Enter Sandman" is Metallica's best song. It may be the most popular and most recognized, but by popularity Ariana Grande, Cardi B and Taylor Swift are more than talentless hacks which you would also be nuts to believe.
Metallica's best song is "Master of Puppets." Hell we already tried a better Metallica song in "For Whom the Bell Tolls" which is also far superior to "Enter Sandman." Hell it's not even the best song on it's own album with "Unforgiven" clearly being the best and at least "Where ever I May Roam" being better. Try "Battery" or the latter half of "One" if it's gotta be thrash. Four Horseman, No Remorse, Ride the Lightning, Creeping Death, Call of Cthulu, Fade to Black, Orion, Sanitarium, and Blackened are all also superior to Enter Sandman if you haven't listened to them.
All good songs. Whiskey in the Jar is a good one that we used to come out to in basketball, but it came later in Metallica’s albums.
As I said before, WVU once used "For Whom the Bell Tolls" and it's got like a 2:30 intro......perfect time......and I don't know of any schools that use it (maybe they do).......
Would love to see them use that again as an entrance. Just imagine how the stadium would be if you did it during a gold rush or black out or whatever color shirts they hand out and it was a night game. Straight chills.
so tell us your thoughts on the game yesterday fake med student. You never seem to be short of words after a loss
Well look here we have a John sighting. Its surprising that you would show up this soon after a win over a ranked opponent. Its funny how you having nothing Moore to say after a win but cry like a bi%ch after every loss.

Country Roads after a win is as good as anything in college football...
Every university has something special, just enjoy what we have.
