3rd and 4th Quarter Tradition

I cannot like this post enough. Spot on. I have a friend that loathes that song, and every time it plays he loses his shit.

Are his initials PH?

As somebody mentioned, when Burman first took the helm, that disappeared. They tried to bring it back, but nobody knew how to make it happen. Lately - the last 10 years or so, they have fumble-fucked it up so bad, it is embarrassing to even try.

Are they retiring Cotton Eye Joe ????

That would be a huge blessing, but likely not. Kids love that shit.

Agree that the song itself is terrible.

But I like that it engages the real young kids. Some of them, that is the only thing they look forward to (and maybe meeting Pistol Pete).

Be a bad idea to get rid of that.

No, but I guess there are more than a few that loathe that song! Good to know!

Here’s a stat to put this in perspective.

Lose yourself was released 24 years ago.

The Bee Gees Stayin Alive was the most popular song/band 24 years before that.

I can’t imagine college me ever saying, man let’s play some Bee Gees. Love that contemporary music.

Point given. The concept of something which would excite the students and pump up the team is in my opinion valid. The students are the driving force of crowd energy at the game, the tune should reflect what they like.

Cowboys from Hell does exactly that!

"Even the Losers Get Lucky Some Time" by Tom Petty very appropriate.

Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy - Big & Rich

This has been played routinely at games and I am sure is in the conversation.

These 3 all makes sense: 1) Should've been a Cowboy; 2) Friends in Low Places; 3) Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy.

Cotton Eyed Joe is teed to one random band member and his wild dancing during MBB and Wyoming has stuck with that for the past 25 years

Meh. Find a banger. No country music for a hype song.
