I'm a blue grasser and love me some fiddle, but don't think they're needed for this rendition.

True, but it would be awesome and unique

Unfamiliar with that song - please, post a link to a rendition?

It would be awesome for a square dance, not so sure about a football game.

Side note, my hometown of Burleson, just south of FTW, used to have a fiddle festival every year. Not sure if they still do.

There are a couple of different versions in this thread.

I'm suprised so many people are shooting this down. You'd think we would want more tradition with the little our band does.

We've got a FrogHorn already. That and winning are enough traditions for me. No need to invent things to call traditions.

Then we at least need something to get people in the stands AT kick-off. Its ridiculous how long people stay at the tailgate. We need something to get the whole crowd like the student section and go nuts.

 

[Limp Lizard]

What about "One, Singular Sensation"? Or in the kicker mode how about "Achey-Breaky Heart"? Or "Stop, in the Name of Love"? Or something from "Jesus Christ, Superstar." Or "I did it My Way"? Or "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'", with a video of Nancy Sinatra in hot pants and boots?

Deep in the Heart of Texas, Horned Frog Pride, Shine, TCU Jazz and evidently Wolf are traditional spirit songs for TCU. Riff Ram is a traditional cheer for TCU. There is tradition. Y'all just don't seem to like it.

Which one of those gets the crowd pumped and loud again?

I understand we have our old traditions, but why not do something new and exciting?? I'm not saying get rid of anything, just add something.

That's a lame excuse. I mean, heck why do we need a new stadium? We already had one.

Traditions start somewhere. We didn't always have a frog horn, we haven't always won. There is nothing wrong with trying to bring in new traditions.

 

[tcumaniac]

maybe if all the showgirls flashed the student section right before kickoff, everyone would show up early. i say it's a pretty good idea... I'd obviously close my eyes of course to prevent lusting.

Playing this before kickoff seemed to get the crowd half way pumped at least. West siders need to loosen up and jump and go crazy! But they probably hate this...

Your orginal statement was there was little tradition. I post existing traditions. You counter with introducing something new.

The too cool for school crowd will still be too cool for Big Balls in Cowtown. Plus songs with fiddles and steel guitars don't really scream good marching band transcription to me nor getting the crowd into a football game.

Who are we? aggie?

Yeah, i did get carried away with that.

But still, what wrong with introducing something the whole crowd can sing? Its all in good fun
