Not sure why we would hate something everyone gets into and gets the crowd fired up.
New music tradition?

You gotta have a little variety. She was not an issue at this game.
2 years ago I went to the WVU game and was blown away at how much better their in game production was than ours.
This game flipped the script. It was very well produced and executed
Not sure why someone would conflate “dislike” with “hate”.
Everyone’s allowed to have personal preferences.
It is possible to have something that gets people going that doesn’t feel like a cringe Texas A&M coordinated skit. A lot of other schools have figured it out.
As others have said, it was fine when people just went bonkers. It’s the dance and spirit fingers and woo.
FWIW...My seats were right near the recruits and their families in the stands last night. During the Juicy Wiggle it appeared to me everyone in that section was having a blast taking it all in, both the kids and their parents.
At least it's something we did organically rather than ripping off Sweet Caroline from other teams/schools that do it.
I love that the fans like it and that it gets the crowd fired up. My personal opinion is just that it’s pretty cringey and lame and wish we had something different. Felt that way for a bit just wanted to get it off my chest, not trying to start a campaign to end it
We need to get RedFoo in the house for either a football game or a big conference home game in basketball.
A Jr at ISU and never been to a game? I hope she's carrying a 4 pt.
Actually glad she had fun, good job parent.
Seemed like the students really got into it last night. I think the crowd feeds off their energy.
She’s been markedly better since the first game.
Juicy Wiggle is objectively a dumbass song. But it’s OUR dumbass song and frankly it’s one of the best things we do. It’s not easy to find something the grandparents, middle age, students, and little kids like.
I can’t imagine an Iowa State fan not being happy when they hear it. It’s wrapped up so many great memories.
One of my favorite things, however is when Juicy Wiggle is played at a wedding and the non Iowa state people are like “what in the hell is this song?”. And you have to explain it is stupid but it’s OUR stupid. And we love it.
And now I’m going to old person complain….I am in the NW corner of the stadium and the speakers are really, really loud. I wish they could dial it back maybe 5%. Oh well!

The crowd absolutely feeds off their energy, which is why I really hate them being stuffed back in that corner, so far from the band (and field).
Or we could spend that money on our players instead of paying for a C-list artist to lip-sync.
Eliminate it entirely. I know we have a good ag school. One of the best, probably. But that doesn't mean we are all hillbillies.Anything to keep the crowd fired up, now please cut the country music down!
She's just awful. She's probably under a season long contract, but she's a mistake. Like the bugle tornado logo, and like the farm family Cy-Hawk trophy, she needs to go away and only be talked about in cautionary tales.
Sure, variety is fine. But she's awful. Variety by including awful isn't a good thing. I could run out on the field, drop my pants, and take a dump on the turf. It's variety, but it wouldn't be good.
Just personal taste. I'm not calling for the end of it. It's a quirky tradition that is our own, corny or not.
Going from crap to trash is an improvement.
I don't think there is anything she can do after her abomination of a performance at that first game that can earn my acceptance. That probably says a bit about me as well, but so be it.
