Personally I think it would be cool to have a unique tradition rather than copying every other sports team by playing Sweet Caroline.

Cowbell. Plain, simple, unique, and the band is always trying to get through it between plays and during timeouts in the 4th quarter. If/when it becomes widespread the crowd would look amazing doing it. Sweet Caroline should be a victory song, played after the game is over.

How about Nishnabotna by C.W. Mccall? That's about as Iowa as you can get, until someone come up with a Templeton Rye (the real stuff) song.:jimlad:

I kinda like living on a prayer for between 3rd and 4th quarter whether were winning or losing. I think sweet Caroline should become our victory song..gives it a little more meaning.

I agree that it should be played after the game is won. Sandstorm should be played at the quarter break. I remember when they finally put it on during the OSU game and JTS went NUTS!

Agreed with this. Sweet Caroline is MUCH better as a victory song.

mathematically 'living on a prayer' just doesnt add up. how about this. this makes me want to dance and go nuts. living on a prayer makes me want to..... sit down and take a nap.

My idea wouldn't be played between quarters but rather while the opponents were running onto the football field or during opponents lineups during basketball. Maybe it promotes bad sportsmanship but I think it'd be funny and the student section would catch on pretty quick. It would be something we could do that would be unique to us rather than seem like we were copying some other school.

Anyway, I think we should play the old Kurt Angle WWE theme song in reference to the opposing team. Here's what it could look like:
