OT: Whiteout creator fired from Penn State

Submitted by UMxWolverines on

He didn't originate the whiteout (Winnipeg did) but he was the one who made it so effective in Happy Valley. 

He was also responsible for Zombie Nation and all the other RAWK music (minor league baseball) stuff Penn State plays. 

Most of the fans on their 247 board are happy about this. A lot of them sound like blue-hair "get off my lawn" people, but they feel like their atmosphere has gotten way out of control. They make similar comments to ours about wanting the majority of music to come from the marching band.

How do you personally feel about so much music at Michigan Stadium the past three years?

Music is a total joke. I actually like the concept but the vagina diaries of music have no place in my house of worship. Our hole in the ground needs hard hitting music to match our attitudes. You can bet neil diamond isnt on in the weight room. Children of bodom, tool, etc etc .. Not there to act like its prom and dance around to third base, there to defend our house.

If they are going to play music in the stadium, at least play good music and preferably music with a local connection. (MC5, Iggy, Seager, Electric Six, Ted, Pubahs, Motown, etc...)

Journey should never ever be played again.  Who was the genius that programmed "Buttercup"?  *puke*

Trouble is no one will ever like ALL the music.  Why not more country and rap?  Yeah, I don't care for the stuff, but I'm sure many in the stands do.

I don't get the music pumps the fans up.  The reality is that no one is going to get pumped up for EMU with or without RAWK music, and there will be a strong atmosphere vs. notre Dame UTL but that's because of who we're playing not the fact that we brought RAWK music into it.
