or should we play welcome to the jungle more often instead of rap songs from the 90's and we will rock you four times. i think itd pump up the crowd and guys a lot more but thats just my opinion

I was wondering about the student section counting down the shot clock when its under 10 seconds. Do most home teams do this and if so, where've I been?
I thought that's something to do to the opposing team to make them nervous, not to your home team?
Maybe the students think they're helping them out by reminding them, but I think the players probably know where the shot clock is most of the time. -
everywhere I've been this year they do that. I think it's an attempt by fans to make the offense aware, even though I'm sure the offense knows what the clock says.

I agree on the rap stuff, KB.
Either play Welcome to the Jungle and make it the building's "Theme Song" or let out AMAZING pep band play directly into the visitor's huddle. I was on the floor after the SIU game standing in front of the band where the huddle usually is and I couldn't hear myself think, let alone communicate with anybody...
Also is anyone else sick of "Jump Around"?? The only and I mean ONLY place that song is cool is between the third and fourth quarter at Wisconsin football games at Camp Randall. The stands literally bounce with the students jumping and screaming...Comment

You can not dis Jump Around. That song was huge last year when Crawford's Uncle attended the games. I know, I know he doesn't make it to many games this, actually I have only seen him at the UW-M game, but it is a fun song and just need one guy to step up and take the torch.
I am not dancing, don't know how and don't have the time to learn.GO PANTHERS!!Comment

As a member of the Jungle, counting down the shot clock for our offense still doesnt help them...still puts up ill advised shots and horrible looking ones too.
As for on defense, at the beginning of the year when the clock got to 9, i'd start saying 5-4-3-2-1, BZZZZZZZZZZ...its worked once outta 7 tries...i think if we can get that going it will be an advantage as well.
A problem i had with last nite was when the game was getting pretty close 6pts or fewer and the students were yelling but when the shot clock got under ten, the volume relaly didnt get much louder in the MAC. (except for when it was a 3 pt game and everyone was going nuts)
I'm still trying to figure out how to use a cheer for the defensive end...saying D-Fense, D-Fense for 25 seconds and then yelling OOHHHHHH, AHHHH when the shot clock winds down, it obviously is a trigger to the offensive team, the shot clock is winding down. Maybe just keep Defense going? i dunno!Career (3 sport) Coaching Record: 50-3

I recently directed the pep band at a women's game and with the game close at the 4:00 media timeout the band was schedualed to play, but got asked to not play because the dance team wanted to dance to Cotton Eyed Joe. That is really one song that I could go the rest of my life without hearing. I am guessing that I am not the only person who feels the same way, but I may be wrong...
Also, a fan came up to me after the game and said that he goes to quite a few road games and at every game especially with the game on the line the band (which is often situated near the opposing bench) was playing as loud as they possibly could. I am a bit biased because this is a band that I have been a member of for the past six years, but we are willing to do anything we can to help the team.Comment

There are actually very few places that play piped in music at all.
College Basketball is about a big brassy pep band and we have a good one, we should use it at all times!!!!
PERSONAL OPINION-
Not to take a shot at the dance team (I know they are very good). Two things. 1) If they are that good, shouldn't they be able to dance to pep band music?? 2) Let's let them have the McLeod Center or GBPAC for an evening and see if they draw thousands of people...Comment

Maybe we should pipe in the pep band like they do at Drake. Did anyone notice that last Saturday? They must have microphones right in front of the band as their music was loud and blairing out the speakers!!Comment

I saw the mics in Drake's pep-band and thought pretty much the same thing. Although our sound equipment hasn't exactly been a dream come true this year.Originally posted by JCPanthers View PostComment

I think I've found a theme here that I totally agree with-GET RID OF ALL THE PIPED MUSIC-PERIOD!!
Why?
1. It always sounds horrid due to the sound equipment.
2. The music is ancient-it was awfully bad back in the 70's, 80's & 90's.
3. The repetition of the music makes it monotonous at best & just plain annoying at worst.
4. I love the Pep Bands! Never played an instrument myself but it used to be great when they had the Pep Band @ the games & the bass guitarist would do a few riffs & really charge up the crowd. (The band used to be a good reason to go to the games back in the day when the Panthers were really struggling)
5. Old music like "Peter Gunn" & "Twist & Shout" sound MUCH better when done by our band(s). Even the new stuff is better when the band does it.
6. Showcase what our musical talent can do-especially since we're on TV a lot more now.
Just my 2 cents, but I've always hated the deafening, screeching, unintelligible noise piped out during the games. It always detracted from my experience."Sports are 90% psychological and the other half is mental"Comment

Griff I've gotta tell you that I've always thought that the D-Fense chants get too fast. Just an opinion on my part. You go from D(pause) Fense To D-Fense and it's super fast, that's why I don't think most of the people other than the students section get into the D-Fense chants, because they get going so fast that you can't keep up with it. That however seems to be the case at several college games throughout the country. i don't think a "Super Fast" D-Fense chant does any good, because it ends up so fast that you can't understand what is being said. (okay probably not, but you know what I mean) Just my $0.02. You guys are doing an excellent Job with "the Jungle" my man.Originally posted by unigriff View PostThe Original PURPLE Wig Guy........

i would agree to an extent...on TV it sounds hella fast, but saying it at the game, it sounds just right. I don't think its fast because we make it that way, its just that a good chunk of the time i think, different parts of the jungle try to start that chant at seperate times others do. So its totally off and sounds quick. I dunno, like i said, listening on TV it doesnt sound fast, as always...then again, the UNI chant on TV sounds fast too.Career (3 sport) Coaching Record: 50-3

You people are ridiculous!!
1. Let the dance team dance to the pep band?
2. No more rap/dance music?
1. Don't you think the dance team practices some routines to the very songs they play?
2. Why dont we just play country music the whole time at every time out? That will surely pump the crowd up. Or like everyone else has said lets blast Guns N Roses at every time out....
What a jokeComment
