We're starting a new tradition in the Big House -- listen up to Devin Gardner (@dg1two): http://youtu.be/g3cxhnD0bmk #MICHvsCMU

Stop telling me what to do and say dad!!!!!............errrr...............Dave Brandon.
August 29th, 2013 at 4:27 PM ^
Beyond stupid.

I'll pass... If anything, let's get another song chant started (Something other than Seven Nation Army but just as good a song)
August 29th, 2013 at 5:00 PM ^
Would love for them to find a way to get the chorus of the new Eminem song "Berzerk" in there. Heard the "clean" version and I still don't think it would go over in Brandon-Land but it is a great and very stadium-friendly song absent the curses.
August 30th, 2013 at 8:35 AM ^
You do realize that lots of families like to attend the football games as well. Not only would it not go over, it would in fact most likely go under.

"I'm waking up, I feel it in my bones
Enough to make my systems blow
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Welcome to the new age, to the new age
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh, I'm radioactive, radioactive"
It could be shortened, but I think that would sound pretty cool if 109,000 people could learn the words.

Anyone know which stadium crowd started that White Stripes chant? Everyone's doing it now.
August 29th, 2013 at 7:26 PM ^
Hate You.
August 29th, 2013 at 7:37 PM ^
Penn State maybe
August 29th, 2013 at 9:32 PM ^
Penn State
August 29th, 2013 at 9:56 PM ^
It was a Belgian soccer team, whose fans brought it to Italy where it caught on, and then it spread to the U.S.

Needs some Freekbass.
August 29th, 2013 at 4:35 PM ^
This leads directly to a large fluffy yellow squirrel-man dancing on the field with the cheerleaders. Jay-sus H Cristo the whole fucking world is an endless spinning hype gyro, can we not just have a dignified traditional kick-ass football game in our awe-inspiring stadium? We already love it with all of our hearts. Stop fucking with it.

This didn't look that bad for the 1980s.
August 29th, 2013 at 6:26 PM ^
was that Bill Martin in the video? and Steve Fisher?
August 29th, 2013 at 6:33 PM ^
That's Steve and Angie Fisher on the golf cart, and then AD Jack Weidenbach very firmly getting his point across to the Willy handler.

Know the guys from the dorm my freshman year that tried to get that going........so glad it did not. Nice enough guys, but just not at all down with any type of mascot. This corporate-like sizzle video for the 'new' chant makes me think this is once again possible, along with freeeeee teeeeee-shiiiiiiiiiiiirt and hot dog guns.....the type of things that prevent me from ever attending professional sporting events unless there is a gun pointed to my head.
The actual Wolverine suit itself may not be that that offensive, but the hair on #4 certainly is.....a cross between Flock of Seagulls & Good Fellas....really do not miss the 80's even a little bit.
August 29th, 2013 at 4:36 PM ^
WOW FACTOR!
August 29th, 2013 at 4:38 PM ^
You can't "start new traditions". That's an oxymoron.
August 29th, 2013 at 5:32 PM ^
Irregardless, there's a plethora of good chants. We're changing the paradigm on the whole football experience.

Irregardlessly, I could care less.
August 29th, 2013 at 6:08 PM ^
Marty: Let's...uh talk a little bit about the history of the group. I understand Nigel you and David originally started the band wuh...back in...when was it...back in 1964?
[ ... ]
David: So we became The Originals.
Nigel: Right.
David: And we had to change our name actually....
Nigel: Well there was, there was another group in the east end called The Originals and we had to rename ourselves.
David: The New Originals.
Nigel: The New Originals and then, uh, they became....
David: The Regulars, they changed their name back to The Regulars and we thought well, we could go back to The Originals but what's the point?
Nigel: We became The Thamesmen at that point.

...if it were mixed correctly. You don't do chants in doubly.
August 30th, 2013 at 12:36 PM ^
.....too much f**king perspective
August 29th, 2013 at 4:40 PM ^
"New" cheer = stupid = Brandon's idea. However, Gardner has a career on TV if he wants it. That guy is great on camera.
August 29th, 2013 at 7:28 PM ^
Devin Gardner will be an anchor on a weekly NFL show in 20 years time. Guaranteed.
August 29th, 2013 at 4:46 PM ^
I'd rather they play this during TV timeouts to the crowd rather than "Sweet Caroline". At least they're trying.
August 29th, 2013 at 5:30 PM ^
Please. I never want to hear that or born and raised in the fictional south Detroit.
August 29th, 2013 at 5:54 PM ^
You have a problem with Windsorites? Eh?
August 29th, 2013 at 4:50 PM ^
How is this new? Doesn't one side of the stadium say "Let's", another say "Go" and the rest say "Blue" already?
Isn't there a Michigan Marching Band song called "Let's Go Blue" that they play on occasion and we all yell (softly from our seated position) "Let's Go Blue"? (Parenthetically, we don't seem to do this as much as we used to.)
So now what? Radom players will appear on the score boards saying "Let's Go" and we yell "BLUE!" ??? (Maybe they'll do this exactly when Temptation finishes to attempt to side track "You Suck". / I am surprised the student section hasn't figured out how to wait for the two added notes and then yell by now.)
Anyway - whatever - nice job by Devin though.
August 29th, 2013 at 4:55 PM ^
the cheerleaders hld up the signs. I think this "new" chant is the whole stadium shouting together "at" Gardner.
August 29th, 2013 at 4:52 PM ^
has some great Charisma though. He seemed pretty comfortable in front of the camera. That script was pretty forced and cliche but I think he did a pretty good job. I hope he shows his personality this year during interviews.
That aside, stupid idea from the AD and I agree with the comments above about that. DG is the man though.

this one smacks of some marketing team sitting around a conference table and the top dude says: "hey, I have an idea ..." Everyone else nods up and down and exclaims how it is the best idea ever. Then the top dude says "let's do focus group research to test it".
So they bring in the market research consultants, and they do several focus groups across Michigan, LA, Chicago, NY, and DC - maybe Tokyo, London, Paris, and Berlin as well.
Of course, any market research firm worth it's salt knows the top dude pays the bills and chooses repeat vendors, so somehow, even if the true Michigan fan in every city says "huh? I'm confused", the idea being tested is concluded the BEST IDEA EVAR.
Granted, this is not so bad - more funny for lack of originality. But this is how things like Edsal (or products with passive names like "Vista") come to be.

Detroit City FC supporters had a great chant at their playoff game vs a team from Cleveland.
F* Ohio, F* Ohio...it was loud, it was glorious.
August 29th, 2013 at 5:15 PM ^
"Let's Go™!!! "
"Blue™!!!"
August 29th, 2013 at 5:25 PM ^
Let's Go™!!! PRESENTED BY ARBY'S
Blue™!!! BROUGHT TO YOU BY ADIDAS

Why must you give them these ideas?
