Let's Settle It: Don't Stop Believing
- Thread starter ArcherSPS
- Start date
In all seriousness, who cares if it's Mullen's? He didn't choose it as a song for himself. If he was responsible for it, he did it on behalf of all of Bulldog nation. Are we also going to give up bowl games, 9 win seasons, decent QB play, NFL draft picks, stadium expansions, facility upgrades, and prime time football games? Those are all things associated with Dan Mullen that did NOT exist regularly before he got here.
Someone said it earlier, but a lot of people (looking at you Lettuce) come off as extremely butt-hurt because Mullen left. Appreciate what he did for the program. He elevated us and gave us something to cheer and be hopeful about. Something we hadn't had consistently in the history of our program. Don't get me wrong, I want to beat his *** and bury them on September 29th, but not because he did anything to hurt us, rather I want him to know what he left behind and get a W in conference play. He was ours, but he isn't anymore. I don't like him going forward, but i don't have to hate him because i know there was absolutely no better person for our job the last 9 years.
One other thing, can some of you 17ers quit making up dumb 17'ing names to reference Mullen? For 17's sake, it's like being around a bunch of 17'ing children. We're going to be good this year. Let's 17'ing focus on that. Jesus, July brings out the dumb 17ery in some of you.

The commercial dispatch was quoting the MSU marketing department. That isn't Dan "taking credit for it", that is our marketing department giving him credit for it. Of course, marketing departments have been known to fudge the facts from time to time to market their products, but now you are choosing Steve over the Athletic Department. And all you quoted Steve as saying was that some fan was suggesting we play a song before the 4th quarter, which is not even an original idea.
There is no question that our Athletic Department was on board with the story that Dan picked the song. So, without some real evidence I'm going to stick with the story that Dan was involved. .

Well, you seem like a nice person. I care because I'm a fan, so I care what goes on. I'm not obligated to explain to you why I care. The reason I asked is because I wasn't able to come to any games last year, so I wondered if something had changed in the past year. I work in healthcare, so I'm required to work every other weekend. Coming to football games is not always feasible.
I actually liked the cowbell viking thing. We gave up on it too early.
It's much better than the maroon/white cheer during the pregame. Talk about forced. The fans do a pretty good job of breaking out into that cheer during the course of a game.
Now that this thread has hit it's third page it's quite obvious than the only way to settle this is a Rumble on South Farm.We need to set some ground rules like " no eye gouging" and " no kicks to the man berries" but first we have to settle on the background music. No Rumble is complete without a soundtrack.
I'm sorry if I came across as mean, but I don't think someone who isn't affected by something should tell people that are what to do. However, if you come to games when you can and just haven't made it to any in a while, that doesn't apply to you. Nothing changed last year as far as those two songs go, fyi.
I disagree with you about Bad to the Bone. Bully has been coming out to that for my entire life (that I can remember at least).

We did it a number of times. Tbh, I can't remember not doing it. I'm pretty sure we did it against Bama, but don't think we did against OM because of all the senior day activities.
We didn't do it at all last year, not that I remember, anyway. We made it part of the pregame the year before, but stopped doing it late in the year.
I love Thunderstruck, but the problem with Thunderstruck at a sports venue is the intro is TOO. DAMN. LONG. The first verse starts a minute-ten into the song. The first time he says "Thunderstruck" is almost two minutes in. The chorus doesn't come until about 2:50. It's just too long to fit in a commercial break.
on the Boneyard Steve said Dan took credit for it in an interview, but it actually wasn't him. The dude who wrote emails to the athletic dept. is the real genius behind this.
And message boards have this collective mental illness that cannot grasp why the rest of the world doesn’t understand that everyone else doesn’t sit around listening to the Butthole surfers last cd while sipping on a cows liver IPA.
Dear gawd how can we allow people to act so uncool?
I've been ready for a change,

We Will Rock You

Seven Nation Army
Crazy Train
Lose Yourself

There is really an endless list of songs I would rather hear. Right or wrong I will always associate Don't Stop Believing with Don now I want Jo's song

This pretty much mirrors EVERY poll I have seen. A vocal 1/3 minority is running around making a big deal of this when a 2/3 majority like it. People don't realize how hard it is to get fans to do something. Hell, it took six years before we got the <fanfare> M <fanfare> S <fanfare> U <fanfare> M - S - U! cheer halfway decent and it's still only halfway decent. If you don't like DSB then go take a piss before the 4th quarter. They play several songs I don't care for but a lot of people seem to enjoy them and have fun so good on them! I don't understand people's need to control everything.
I am for it. I think it gives us an identity. How many times has announcers discussed the crowd participation right after a break, when the television comes back from commercial and the song is still playing with the crowd, singing, ringing bells and the cellphone lights shining down on the field.
I love the song, but if we replace the song then with something else then I will be okay with. Like stated earlier it beat the hell out of hearing about Ford, Buick, Mercury, Nissan, Honda, Toyota dealership in downtown Louisville.

Dump it and let the Famous Maroon Band play that "rousing rendition of Madelineeeeee" while fans burn the last couple minutes of their cell batteries up waving them
What are you saying? When your coach leaves you stop being Jewish? Quit playing Don't Stop Believing?
Keep it
Keep it
