I noticed that last night, I have mixed feelings about that comming to the pros, but i'm guessing the lions were not the first to play 7 nation army

There was an amusing moment during the game in Evanston, when our fans "took over" SNA by chanting to it when it was playing over the PA.  The song was abruptly cut off.

My area (top rows of section 105) launched into the chant, and the combined efforts of the Michigan faithful definitely did drown out the weak offerings by those clad in purple.

Northwestern maybe be Chicago's Big Ten Team™, but Ryan Field surely is not Northwestern's Big Ten Stadium.  That stadium...does not exist.

Before going to the UTL game I agreed with Brian on the piped-in music issue. But after seeing how much it engages the fans I totally disagree...music helps fires up the crowd and ultimately the team win.

I think piped-in music has changed the tide on the rivalry. Hell even Jagmag is starting to believe it. Never in a million years I would have thought that. Seven Nation Army is a good start.

I remember that at some point last year they played enter sandman and the crowd didn't respond at all.  It might have been a game that we were losing, though.

plus, that song is pretty intimately associated with VaTach, much like that Zombie Nation song is with Penn State. Though I'm not sure the crowd didn't respond for that reason; I just think much of the reason it gets VT hyped up is its history w the program.

I'm not sure that if you played Journey ("born and raised in SOUTHHHH DETROIIIIIIIT") it would have the same impact at VT as here, for example.

It was written by a local band, so personally I say we get dibs on it even if we weren't the first to use it.

If we really wanted to pump the Schwartz up, they should blast some Saxon, because Schwartz was down at Blondie's Sunday night for the Saxon show, believe it or not.

I mean, I knew that he was a metalhead, but I never would have pegged him as a NWOBHM disciple.  Ha.
