logic wrote:She screams wildly at Justin Bieber concerts also?Yes, she had an emotional reaction to a television show which she has been watching for 5 seasons. A character she liked was brutally beaten to death. She also has a tendency to cry when watching sad movies. Hard to imagine, huh? I suppose that one day you will realize that women can be emotional creatures if you are ever able fool some naive girl into thinking you are worthy of marrying.
With all due respect good sir your wife was screaming at a television set. Your wife was screaming...at a television set. I concede, this ends the debate for me. I thought I could talk some cultural sense into this thread and I realize now all hope is lost.

There is a line we shouldnt cross because of our University's mission. I feel that line is creeping when it comes to music at the football games. I would like to see a few movie quotes, even movie clips on the screen.
HMO, thanks for letting us sneak in an eat, as the Alumni tent was closing on Saturday. $5 all you can eat hotdogs. Thats better than Sheetz right now.

We are at an institution of higher education and a Christian one at that, and we are singing about high school students trying to outrun bullets in the hallways. I wonder, do they play this song at Columbine football games?Not sure I've met many of the "college intellectuals" of which you speak, but I actually agree with you on that song. After reading the "Stadium Atmosphere" thread, I decided not to comment (okay, other than the first 41 seconds of that Wisconsin clip are the lamest thing I've seen in a long time), but actually make a point of listening to the music, and it definitely needs some work--rather unfocused and not all that exciting. Liked the suggestions in that thread better, but I have to admit, I'm on the side of actually listening to the words and not just the music. I've heard that pundit for too many years, and it really doesn't wash.

) we got in trouble for music code violations. I'm guessing that's not in the Liberty Way anymore - otherwise, why would you play something at the football game that students couldn't listen to in their dorms?phoenix wrote:Back in the old days (Mrs Purple always laughs when we are at a concert that Coach Farver took her Abba and Air Supply cassettes on one road trip! Now she's going to KISS concerts! I think there is a lesson there...
jhw wrote:bunch of nancies on here in a tiff over a song...+1. The debates over items such as this are worthless in my opinion. The song shouldn't be played at a football game here, but not because of the reasons cited here. It shouldn't be played because it sounds like a bunch of little girls singing a pop song. I'd get more pumped up listening to N'SYNC's Bye bye bye...
Purple Haize wrote:Enter Sandman is a GREAT entrance song. The Hokies got that one right!Yeah - so many youtube videos of what it's like. Even still they don't capture the feeling when you're actually there in person.

I was employing the use of hyperbole to make a larger point about the discussion at hand.
