Michigan football game tradition proposal

By WindyCityBlue — June 22nd, 2013 at 8:34 PM — 42 comments
So I wanted to get the mgoblogeratti opinion on a potential game day tradition. During the national anthem portion of "proudly we hailed", I always thought it would be great if the entire stadium would raise their hand and yelled "hail" a la Hail to the Victors.

Atalanta Braves do something similar for the word "brave".

What are everyone's thoughts on this? Defamation of our national anthem? Could it catch on? Stupid idea?

Somehow I expect most sec fans to be more 'murica (fuck yeah) than we are.

Nevertheless I would also prefer to just leave it alone and use the 90 seconds to reflect on and show respect for the greatness of our country.

Interesting.

In all the games I've been to, I've never heard it...and I'm almost always there for the anthem.



I was a student in 2008, never heard it



Now, my season tickets are in section 40, which isn't too far from the student section, still never heard it.

Personally,

I hate it, the Anthem is for honoring America, not Michigan (or really, any other entity) but it's nowhere near as bad as North Dakota's version.

I first saw this at a hockey game a while ago and have been doing it ever since. I've never had anyone tell me it was disrespectful. I definitely think what Blackhawks fans do, albeit it's kinda cool (man it hurts to say that), is disrespectful.

what the Blackhawks fans do

is a poor imitation of what they used to do at the old Chicago Stadium.  It was authentic, spontaneous and to the heart.  Now its just a bunch of people who overpaid for tickets trying to do something that they saw their parents do, feels plastic and contrived like that stupid song they play after goals.

I think we should all 'Go Brady', i.e. short sleeves, for the entire fourth quarter of all home games regardless of weather..  I kicked off the tradition this year for Iowa; it was freezing at the end of the game but I BELIEVE!

In my opinion traditions

In my opinion traditions happen on their own.... they just take shape within the atmosphere of whatever group.  They don't get concocted by anyone.... especially not marketing think tanks.  I'm looking at you DB.  

With that said, I could definitly understand the argument that a grassroots type movement by the fans to create a tradition would be legitimate.

DB isn't using marketing

DB isn't using marketing think tanks to build tradition. The tradition is there. His purpose it to try and make Michigan relevant to an increasingly younger market, and the betterment of the university. Trying to make the Michigan game day experience fun and entertaining is not changing tradition. When there are uniform changes it is done by the team not DB. Please try to think outside the box a little bit.

If by "done by the team," you mean "done by the team at Adidas, who then tells us what we're going to wear," right?

The fact that so many people are buying the corporate synergy-speak coming out of 1000SSS these days hook, line, and sinker seems to pretty much prove DB is even better than this than we thought he was. He's pretty much convinced the fanbase that Michigan spent over a century building a rabid fanbase of kids and adults alike out of sheer dumb luck. (How did we ever do that without a mascot and bumblebee unis?)

Now it's his time to reinvent the wheel, I guess.

The team votes on the uniforms and makes decisions based on that. It's more a recruiting tool than anything. They are also trying to expand the Michigan brand. While I don't agree with everything they do. Look at the improvements that have been made and are coming in the future to all of the athletic facilities.

Baltimore fans do this

Baltimore fans do this (rather impressively for the crowd sizes of games I've been at I might add) during the "O" of the anthem at O's games. They just love the anthem down there in general though. Been doing huge celebrations the last two years for the War of 1812 and anniversary of Key writing the anthem

A tradition I've always

A tradition I've always wanted to start--though entirely impractical--is for every Michigan fan in the stadium to pay attention, turn away, and go dead silent for thirty seconds when the opposition enters the field before kickoff. I guarantee a mass of 110,000 expressing apathy in unison is way more memorable than a smattering of ineffectual boos that anyone can hear anywhere.

Make it happen. Get a PT job giving prospective students tours of campus and tell them these are already traditions. During new student orientation when the new freshmen learn the victors for the first time, see if the U will introduce your suggestions as well.
