I love seeing this. Watching kids (okay, they're large kids, but still kids) playing a game they love and just having a *great time* - wherever they are.

Outdamnstanding!

By the way, this is the kind of thing I was envisioning for Mr. Brightside against Sparty. 

Michigan stadium didn't do a great job with that "production" - they left the lights on and didn't tell us until it was too late to download the app (like you can download anything from within the stadium).

Could be a pretty cool show but they need to make some changes.

This is the culture I was looking for when JH arrived.  I'm glad it's arrived too.  These kids are having fun, they're prepared, they're confident, and they play as one.

You love to see it.

Gotta give Nebraska credit - lightning up the stadium red to Thunderstruck was pretty cool and deserved a better coach than Mrs. Frost's progeny 

Also, anyone else disappointed that Rutgers didn't play something more on-brand like Living on a Prayer or Hungry Heart?

I think it's pretty cool, embracing it and making each stadium's tradition a fun thing helps keep our players loose and dispels the nerves too.

Let's hope they're in a good enough mood that we see them dancing to Hang on Sloopy

Don't give up your weekend jobs, fellas!

I love to watch our players having fun, because it means Jim and company are doing something right. These are kids in college, after all, and should be enjoying their time there.

Thanks for posting, fgb1!

That red light gives the stadium a toxic waste processing facility look, or maybe a level of <insert your favorite post-apocalyptic video game here>.  Enjoy seeing the team have fun, but I'm not a fan of the SHI.

You can say "winning changes the culture" but before 2021 even started there was a shift in Harbaugh, and this team. You could see it in the big ten media day interviews. It wasn't a butthole clenched feeling though. It was this very serious "win or die trying" mixed with cool, calm and have fun. 

Credit to Harbaugh and to the young men who lead the team last year and continue it this year. Maybe this is a deep post for kids signing but the overall culture and feel to the teams the last two years is awesome.
