"This Is Our State Video" Is A Buzz Kill, Which Is Followed By Our Horrible.....

team intro.

Please tell me I am not the only who thinks the "This Is Our State Video" is played at the wrong time. The crowd is hyped up and into the the pregame, then BAM, they show this video which completely kills the atmosphere. Everyone sits down and goes quiet. I like the video, but play it at some other point.......and use current athletes.

Then, it's followed by the horrible team intro with the DJ and the broken glass. What in the hell is all of that about? Please tell me I am not the only who thinks this way.

I wouldn't say buzzkill.

The response to the end of that video is always very good. The real problem is the DJ intro video. It sucks.

 

[Charlie_Sheen420]

I agree...

This is our state video doesn't bother me as much because it is followed by the intro that is supposed to pump everyone up. The dj intro is the problem, it sucks plain and simple. As soon as that stupid dj pops up the whole stadium just goes quiet. It looks like the intro will remain the same for the rest of the year, but they really need to do better next year....It's easy to fix to just put together clips of big hits and plays while having "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Metallica play, that would create some atmosphere

This Awful DJ Video Has Taken Us Back To The Days of Larry Templeton............

because plenty of people are complaining, and no one in the AD is listening and doing something about it. They all read this board. Don't be LT......listen to the fanbase and get rid of this DJ crap!!!!!!! You dont even know the team is about to run out.

...I honestly think the DJ video is not that bad, I guess its geared more towards the students than the older crowd.

I'm a student...

I'm a student, and I think it is HORRIBLE! The entire student section is dead when it plays, so I don't think I'm the only student who thinks it sucks. I thought they were going to change it for the UT game since they had two weeks, but it looks like were stuck with that crappy dj for the rest of the season...it really is a buzzkill.

....including tonight, there was only 3 home games left... why the hell would they change the intro video now this late into the game? I honestly don't have a problem with it, but I would prefer seeing highlights of previous games instead. This is the first time I've heard people complain about it.

 

[Son_of_34]

...Good Point, why did they change it, the "relentless effort" video was pretty good, should have just upgraded it.

 

[shsdawg]

I'm an old dude but I like it. It needs to be updated though. Change it up a bit.

Can you please slow down the chant at the end of the Hey Song?

I was on the east side tonight and its even faster and more off beat over there. What the hell is the rush? Maybe try it with a little rhythm.

...Its a gauge of how drunk the section is, the faster, the drunker.

You're crazy. That's the best of our pregame videos

by a long shot.

 

[Hump4Hoops]

Are you one of the blue hairs that complains about rap music?

The entire concept behind the DJ video is quite cool. The music is good, and visuals are great. Look around the stadium during it next time, even the ribbon-boards coordinate with the video.

There isn't a ******* thing Templeton-esque about this.

the Our State video is a good video but I agree the timing doesn't pump up the crowd. I think we need to incorporate more highlight videos of past and current big plays, and possibly include some sound bytes of Jack Cristil play calls. I don't think it would be that difficult to put together a quick highlight video of big plays from the current season...just something different. We need more of this in place of all the commercials. I know the commercials bring in alot of money but I'm getting tired of seeing the same commercials over and over.

 

[Bullycon]

I concur. I like what Tennessee does, when their pregame starts, their band does not stop playing until they are marching off the field and the teams are ready to kickoff.

Following the State spell out and the "We're Gonna Beat the Hell Out of You" cheer, our stadium is at its atmospheric peak. THAT is the time for the team to run out. I've suggested that to Stricklin. We'll see if it changes.

 

[The Stache]

I agree 100%
