The whole SNL Christopher Wolken Will Ferril more cowbell schtik needs to go now that we will have a new coaching staff in place. It’s a new era. We’ve been dragging out that video clip for the nine years that Mullens has been around and it has gotten old IMO. Pregame hype needs to be totally revamped now. I realize that the name of our new head coach lends as a pretty good tie in to it now, but it’s just got to go. Let’s find something new.

It did go away for a while I felt like. And then this season they started playing it at critical parts of the game to get the crowd into it. I can promise you it won't be going away now that we have the Moor Cowbell campaign. That being said, I like it

 

[patdog]

You're right. That's going to be unpopular. For good reason.

 

[Digging dog]

It has gotten tired. Just turn the volume back up and play good music. (Doesn’t seem as loud this year to me).

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Cowbell predates you on campus. Pick something else you'd like to change.

Id like to see that lame pregame show thats been around forever abandoned, i.e. "that rousing rendition of Madelliiiiiiine", the "famous Maroon White Cheer", and "the STATE spellout" That stuff is so old and outdated.

That's for sure. Same ole thing over and over.

 

[RocketDawg]

It's way past outlived its usefulness.

 

[Maroon Eagle]

Nah. Pick a fan (or random celeb) to take up the Will Ferrell or Christopher Walken role every so often though.

And let’s throw LFL into that list!

 

[GTAdawg]

Didn’t say anything about the cowbell. I said get rid of an overplayed video.

Concur! One game they put the words to Don't Stop Believing on the jumbotrons, but they don't put the words to Madeline? WTF, everyone there knows all the words to DSB, not many know the words to Madeline.

 

[gymdawg.sixpack]

I like the more cowbell skit.
But what happened to the "viking drum beat" we did last yr to start a game?

 

[dickiedawg]

I haven’t been able to find words to Madelon. If you have a link I’d love to see them.

As as for the pregame state spell out , “bad to the bone” with bully on the doghouse... that stuff is awesome. Sure it’s cheesy but it’s also tradition and been mostly the same since I was a kid going to games.

 

[Lawdawg.sixpack]

That seemed forced.

 

[Bulldogg31]

Wtf is a madelon

 

[MSUDawgFan86]

Before we even have this SNL discussion which I disagree with... the damn Don’t Stop Believing **** would have to go first. I don’t mind it used appropriately but this every 4th quarter no matter what situation is silly and tired. Up 40 to FCS team... “don’t stop believing...” smh why would we stop believing? *

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Song named after some French Bar Girl (Prostitute? Need to ask Hugh if she was, he would know...) that Allied troops met during WWI. The song has a line in it about "being true to the Whole Company" instead of any kind of monogamous relationship---sounds a bit Prostitute-ish.

Anyway whoever that Madelon chick was she must have been "popular"...those gay milkmen at Texas A&M also play the Madelon song at their games...

Wtf is a madelon

A song our soldiers brought back from World War I. Thus, anyone who bashes Madelon hates the troops.

 

[BossDawg78]

Nah. You just have a fever...

And the only prescription, is more cowbell.

Pour le repos le plaisir du militaire

Il est là-bas à deux pas de la forêt

Une maison aux murs tous couverts de lière

Aux Tourlourous c’est le nom du cabaret

La servante est jeune et jolie

Légère comme un papillon

Comme son vin son oeil petille

Nous l’appelons la Madelon

Nous en rêvons la nuit nous y pensons le jour

Ce n’est que Madelon mais pour nous c’est l’amour

Quand Madelon vient nous servir à boire

Sous la tonnelle on frôle son jupon

Et chacun lui raconte une histoire

Une histoire à sa façon


La Madelon pour nous n’est pas sevère

Quand on lui prend la taille ou le menton

Elle rit c’est tout l’mal qu’elle sait faire

Madelon, Madelon, Madelon

Nah. You guys hate the troops for reasons other than madelon

Moor cowbell you dubmass**

 

[bulldogcountry1]

At least we have evolved from the days when they would do the "S-T-A-another T-E", line up for the players to come out 10 minutes too early, and just stand there in awkward silence.


Seriously, it's amazing how far we have come in a relatively short amount of time.

 

[HumpDawgy]

What do you want instead......Goat boy?

ZINGGGGGG!!!!!! Hahahahahaha!
