Strick tweeted out Saturday's National Anthem is going to be sung by the fans acapella. Somene will start it up and then fans take over. That has potential to get a little dusty.
Saturday's National Anthem = Awesomeness!

Am I the only one that's not a big fan of the national anthem?
Im a huge fan of the USA, the military, apple pie, large breasts, etc. I just don't get the need to sing it before all sports. Also, it's not that great of a song.
Am I worse than Hitler?

You're not. The music is based on an old drinking song, which is why the pitch seems to move up and down wildly. "America the Beautiful" would on the whole be a better national anthem.
Only thing that will make this better is if in unison, the stadium ends with a
Go to Hell Ole Miss
Go to Hell Ole Miss
Only when the "singers" make it about them, and not the song itself. There are ENDLESS examples of people who've done this, and I don't mean the screw-ups like Rosanne, Carl Lewis, etc... I mean the ones who, at least to ME, alter the song to the point of being unrecognizable.
Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood, and (forgive me, America) The Dixie Chicks all did versions that are just phenomenal. Great harmony OR powerhouse voices can make that song extremely moving. The converse is true, though. If the song is about you, you're doing it wrong.
Oh, and yes, you love Hitler, Hump.

I'd only be in favor of cutting the national anthem out before games if a Ray Charles impersonator was able to sing America the Beautiful before each and every single sporting event in America.
Otherwise I'm in favor of the anthem, unless it's sang by the person from the World Series last night or anyone who tries to make it too fancy and sucks at singing.

Worst part about listening to that song is that you realize Lee Greenwood isn't a very good singer.
For a long time my kids thought the last line of the anthem was GTHOM. First time we went to one of their schools games was kind of embarrassing
Acctually,
Don't think you are worse; think I read that Hitler wasn't a big fan either.

SixPackSpeak - "Yes, actually we do find something about anything to ***** about."
That gif has the opposite of a peeping Crooms in it.
During baseball season, when Kyle Peterson was broadcasting from the lounge, everyone in our area yelled GTHOM after the anthem (and we weren't playing Ole Miss). A couple of the ESPN guys laughed, and a couple of more looked totally shocked.
I was talking to them later and found out that most of that particular crew were contractors out of Jackson who ESPN hires for MS and Alabama related games. Most of them were Ole Miss grads.
Just made it sweeter.

Tyson Cunningham can sing his tail off. I saw something on FB or twitter recently that Tyson Lee posted of Cunningham playing the piano and singing. It was pretty great.
