Tunnel walk

Or just demolish the North stadium and start over from scratch.
I doubt they will because of all the new stuff they put in around 2005, but this should be given serious consideration. Personally, I would demolish both the North and South Stadiums and rebuild in a way that would make the stadium a true bowl. Newer and bigger screens on both. Skyboxes on both. Theatre type seats in both. Lots of bathrooms and concessions with easy access from all areas. It would reduce seating capacity but that would probably be a good thing.
How about a big screen on the south side that northside fans can see???
Yeah, that was cool at first and then I was losing interest as it went on. For sure that music is not as good.
"I was in favor of firing Bo, but I didn't want us to hire Mike Riley!!!"
edit: I want to keep Sirius... but I would love if they played Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight - for night games... players run out right when the drums hit, obviously.
Seems the outraged one is you.
Calm down guy.
No one is making you read this or comment. Tunnel walk is kind of a big deal and is unique to Nebraska football, and this is a Nebraska forum.
Not all that unique. Pretty much every school and every sport has some sort of song and video.
Youre right, its a big deal everywhere. I think some even have inflatables and smoke! Nothing unique about nebraskas tunnel walk or its history.
I know it's a funny thing, but I'm behind him changing what he wants 100%. I'll be honest and admit, if it was anyone else I'd be not so cool with it.
I do however still love Sirius, but if were going song change we could pick a better song for fall though... just being honest.
I've always liked how our stadium is. Being "odd" kinda gives it flavor and makes it unique imo.
I sort of agree. It has a unique look all its own. But the look isn't so charming if you have to sit there.
Nothing the players did changed. They did what they always do, they walked through the tunnel, tapped the horseshoe and ran on the field. The ONLY thing that changed was the music and the video. Music that wasn't unique to Nebraska, because the Chicago Bulls used it too.
So in summary, the BIG DEAL and the HISTORY didn't change. Music and video did. Faux outrage continues.
You have a reading comprehension problem, as well as a hypocrite problem, as well as an anger problem. The only outraged one is you. Starting to assume you are small and have some Napoleon complex.
I think they should change it. If I remember correctly they didn't do it until 1993 or 1994. I remember going to games when it was just the band playing the team onto the field. As has been pointed out numerous times, the Bulls were playing it for a few years before we started doing it. I think they should go with "It's Raining Men" by the Weathergirls. That or "Bastards of Young" by the Replacements. Either would be good.
I am an old curmudgeon. I would make the tunnel walk short and sweet. Games have too much dumb noise anymore. I love the natural noise of the game. The QB hollering out the count, the fans hooting and hollering, the band blasting out the fight song. I don't need silly (and bad) seventies arena rock piped-in music to manufacture an artificial atmosphere of excitement to get me jacked up for a game.
Haha yeah he seems to be the only outraged one in this thread.
Right band, wrong song..."It's a long way to the top if you want to rockin roll"
Get rid of Sirius! That song was 'tired' in the 90s, let alone today. Just switch up the music each time if they want to. Something that is more upbeat and would be exiting to recruits too. I'm fine with what they played during the spring game. It was a breath of fresh air vs Sirius.
They need to hire a better radio guy.. someone with some character... I want to listen with my headphones IN the stadium like the old days!
You guys need to backdate your posts a little. This is the route we want to go if we're going to go AC/DC..
Greg Sharpe is the best announcer we've had since Lyle. By far the best since Lyle.
