Cowbell is one of the coolest traditions ISU has. It would look so sweet if the entire stadium did it. It's original, its loud, it has simple movements everybody can do, and it looks cool when done in unison.

Its getting there. Just a few years ago it was pretty much just a band thing, maybe some of the student section. Seeing the whole crowd doing it at the iowa game was pretty incredible.

I know there were people other than students on the field at that point but I would put the percentage of students down there north of 80%

Didn't someone from ISU football team play in Slipknot?

I am sticking by bass riff of Pumped Up Kicks....I think the silent majority and the students are with me.

Im a student, and know for a fact that that would be the worst possible song to play at a game. Would draw all the intensity out of the crowd.

OK, The guy who runs the big music box at Jack Trice, here is what you are going to do:
--No warm-up thug rap please. You can play some 1980's fat boys or maybe even some MC Hammer too legit to quit. Just kidding, but to play the absolute CRAP that they play pre-game has gotten offensive to me. The story I hear is they just carte blanche broadcast the player's request "becuase it gets them pumped up" or whatever. Put something on the air that is mildly, tangibly popular.

--Smoke on the Water is cool for the beginning of intro, but it has not crescendo, no climax. I keep waiting for more. It is 2011, and I know we have had the technology to mix music since, oh, 1915 or so. Please mix Smoke into something a little more rousing, please.

--Sweet Caroline will continue to be banned until 10 minutes after the victory.

--It would be good to hear some more original scores.....I hear the same "Ohhhhhh, oh-oh-oh-oh, ohhhhhhh" bass riff at about three different games this year (different schools) AND on television games too(anyone know this riff? It is annoyingly catchy). These schools all copy each other, and ISU seems hell bent on being a copy cat instead of an orignator.
I suggest "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People for end of third quarter this game....that song is freaking infectious...I can't get it out of my head.

--No more "Cyclone, First down!!!!" thing. DUMB!!!!!!!!

--More cow bell.

This guy needs to pull the stick out of his ***** and focus on what's going on out on the field, not the pregame activities, or the fun stuff that ISU does during the game.

You had your time when your music was popular, and was played all the time. Well time goes by and things change. This is what's enjoyable now, so stop F-ing whining about it and Cheer on the cyclones!

If the team keeps pounding teams like they did against Texas Tech, I say they can play all of the s*** music that is in vogue today in the pregame. Lay another egg like Texas or Misery, make 'em warm up to Kenny G and John Denver. Maybe some Kenny Rogers... If that's not incentive to win more football games, I don't know what is.

Easy now! Our newest conference member might take offense to that! :wink:

The song with the Bass that everybody is looking for is 7 Nation Army...Great song but has been beaten to death (especially by Penn State).

Cowbell is one of the coolest traditions ISU has. It would look so sweet if the entire stadium did it. It's original, its loud, it has simple movements everybody can do, and it looks cool when done in unison.

I'm in the drumline and it is so cool to look up and see the whole student section doing Cowbell...If it spread to the whole stadium it would be amazing.

Also playing cowbell on the field after the Iowa game was an Amazing moment!

I was channel surfing Saturday afternoon between various ballgames and I think at the end of the 3rd quarter of the MN/IA game the Gophers were playing Sweet Caroline - maybe IA has problems with that song too?!

This should be done at the end of the 3rd quarter and send some students to the west stands and teach/lead us in how to do this - very cool and unique to ISU.

I agree!

Again, all of you that hate Sweet Caroline - it's a lost cause. As long as we're winning, it'll be played between the third and the fourth, because students love it and it looks very impressive.

The cowbell one will have trouble gaining traction because quite a few people don't know what's going on or what it is.

Seven Nation Army is definitely overdone, yet still awesome. I however much prefer this. LOUD. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OjTspCqvk8]The White Stripes - Icky Thump - YouTube[/ame]
