I get this discussion a lot

  • How do you feel the gameday atmosphere in Athens compares to others?

    More pregame music?

    You fine with it?

    Very interested in your thoughts on that

    I think more pregame music would be good. Songs that will get the players blood flowing. Kinda like a few years back when Knowshon had everyone doing soulja boi dance. JMO

    Fans in Lane Stadium Go Crazy to Enter San...

    Situation: Down 38-35, Miami takes a time out on 4th and 10 at the 45 with 5 seconds left in the game. Virginia Tech fans get HYPED in Lane Stadium as Metallica's Enter Sandman blasts through the speakers. How much does an amped up crowd impact a huge play?

  • Great topic first of all. I think it is time to update the pre-game intro video with something different from Nickleback.

    We need something that will get Sanford rocking.

    AC/DC - For Those About to Rock (We Salute...

    For Those About to Rock (We Salute You) by AC/DC. I uploaded this video because I think this is the best version of For Those About to Rock (We Salute You). The offcial live concert from Capital Center, Landover, Maryland, USA 21st December 1981. AC/DC Angus Young - Lead Guitar Malcolm Young - Rhythm Guitar Brian Johnson - Vocals Cliff Williams - Bass Guitar Phil Rudd - Drums Lyrics: Oh yeah yeah! Oh oh oh! We roll tonight to the guitar bite Yeah yeah, ow! Stand up and be counted for what you are about to receive We are the dealers, we'll give you everything you need Hail hail to the good times 'Cause rock has got the right of way We ain't no legend, ain't no cause We're just livin' for today For those about to rock, we salute you For those about to rock, we salute you We rock at dawn on the front line Like a bolt right outta the blue The sky's alight with a guitar bite Heads will roll and rock tonight For those about to rock, we salute you For those about to rock, we salute you For those about to rock, we salute you, yes we do For those about to rock, we salute you, salute We're just a battery for hire with the guitar fire Ready and aimed at you Pick up your balls and load up your cannon For a twenty-one gun salute For those about to rock, fire (We salute you) For those about to rock (We salute you) For those about to rock, fire (We salute you) Fire, we salute you We salute you, c'mon (For those about to rock, we salute you) (For those about to rock, we salute you) For those about to rock, we salute you For those about to rock, we salute you Shoot, shoot Shoot, shoot For those who give For those who take For those on the line and those on the make, we salute you, yeah We salute you, we salute you We salute you Fire

  • I'm thinking we got to do SOMETHING to get the "students section" more into it. Get them to use their tickets. I think it was a big mistake to take the "ticket" away from them and give them a "debit" card.

    Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down

    You can run on for a long time Run on for a long time Run on for a long time Sooner or later God'll cut you down Sooner or later God'll cut you down Go tell that long tongue liar Go and tell that midnight rider Tell the rambler, The gambler, The back biter Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down Well my goodness gracious let me tell you the news My head's been wet with the midnight dew I've been down on bended knee talkin' to the man from Galilee He spoke to me in the voice so sweet I thought I heard the shuffle of the angel's feet He called my name and my heart stood still When he said, "John go do My will!" Go tell that long tongue liar Go and tell that midnight rider Tell the rambler, The gambler, The back biter Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down You can run on for a long time Run on for a long time Run on for a long time Sooner or later God'll cut you down Sooner or later God'll cut you down Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand Workin' in the dark against your fellow man But as sure as God made black and white What's done in the dark will be brought to the light You can run on for a long time Run on for a long time Run on for a long time Sooner or later God'll cut you down Sooner or later God'll cut you down Go tell that long tongue liar Go and tell that midnight rider Tell the rambler, The gambler, The back biter Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down Tell 'em that God's gonna cut you down

  • The 12:00 kick offs don't help. It's hard to beat the 7:30 kick offs. Also the team your playing helps.
    Playing the buffalos and the Fla int of the world does not create good game day atmosphere. ACDC could play live before those games and it want help much. It's the time and the team your playing that matters.

  • It would be nice to see them bring back that big ole fire hydrant they use to pull in front of the team when they ran out of the tunnel.

    I'm trying to think of a Pink Floyd song that would fit. They don't translate well to football.

    Golden Earrings "Radar Love" has a good football drum-beat. Lyrics don't fit well.

    They did get rid of it two years ago. But the older crowd complained and got it back. The same crowd also got the 12:00 kickoffs back. 2 years ago, almost every game was at night.

    The problem in Athens is there is a lot of "money" that likes things traditional. All you have to do is go to a game at any other SEC school outside of Vandy and you can see how outdated UGA is.

    The tailgating and the city itself can rival any school. The in-game experience is stuck in the 20th century.

    When the bullet hits the bone is a great arena song. I'm not sure how it translates to an open stadium.

    Move the band higher to let their sound carry in the stadium better.

    Outside of that, I'm with SmithDawg. If you're looking for the best atmosphere, get the best matchups and starttimes.

    Unfortunately in today's game television often determines the starting time. Got to get the respect of ESPN and CBS. Winning consistently will do that.

  • Well hopefully some of these things will change once Adams is gone. He hates and hated the fact that uga was one of the if not the biggest party college in America.

    I would like to see a more amped up stadium entrance for the team, as others have alluded to.

    There are few things in college football as exciting as VA Tech running onto the field to "Enter Sandman." And that's not to say that we should just do what everyone does and use smoke machines, etc etc. But hell, why not "Thunderstruck" along with some red pyrotechnics? Or something of the sort. A little badassery to set the tone and get the crowd juiced and let the visitors know we're not going to sit on our hands until the 4th quarter.

    What we do now is just so tame, relatively speaking. I think the energy of our pre-game routine matches the intensity that we have as a crowd during the ball game - and I don't mean that in a good way. I went to the UGA-USC game two years ago in Columbia and couldn't help but note just how better their entrance was than ours, and how much more jacked their fans were for it than ours usually are. Need to fix that.
