To get us ready for a rowdy season of Utah football

Rocker, interesting you post that song. Chuck Brown is a DC native and it is used as the Nationals home run song, and is played after home wins of the Capitals (not sure about the Wizards). So, it does already have a good sports use connection

They play that at RES fairly often already

I hope they continue to use Joker and the Thief before kickoff. Others may disagree but I really like it.

My brother just pointed out this tweet to me.

My first reaction is to think it’s a resurrection of the old scheduling deal that USC nixed 5 years ago because it interfered with their ND ā€œrivalryā€. With ND on board, USC/ND could be annual, and the rest of us could enjoy a Big10 game every year.

But this does say it’s more than just a scheduling agreement. We’ll see. I still think it’s probably just a scheduling agreement with some kind of other window dressing. But that would be very welcome. I’m all for it.

Maybe there is some kind of media agreement in the works. That would be much bigger than just a scheduling agreement.

I had season tickets to the Tar Heels football games in mid-2000 for a couple of years and even a relatively button-downed school like UNC used AC/DC’s Hells Bells at the start of each game. Loved it.

Worst song and should not be played. Like byu and their fans.

I’m not advocating for this song, but the band played a tune for years during football games, during which all of the instruments other than drums would stop, and all the band members would chant some rhyme something like ā€œI wish I had some chocolate milkā€¦ā€. Does anyone remember this, and if so what is the name of the song?

I was indifferent to the tune, but I do recall that the band members themselves loved performing this tune. (I think it can be seen at some point during the Sugar Bowl game against Alabama.)

In recent years, the band (unfortunately) plays less and less and there are more recordings played through the PA system, so I don’t recall hearing this tune for years.

I think that chant is still a staple in the MUSS.

I wish I had some chocolate milk.
My cheerios don’t taste the same.
I wish I had some chocolate milk.
Too bad that milkman never came

I can’t go to the store.
I’ll just wait till mom buys more.
I just have Wheat-Thins and beer.
If I get sick then the toilet’s near.

YOUR MOTHER WILL PAY!

Seems like they played this one a lot for basketball games some years ago. I love it.

If we give up JATT on kickoffs, I’d like to replace it with this…

I wish I could give a hundred stars.

How about this song, but substitute Mis-sis-sip-pi-Queen with ā€œUt-ah-De-fense-Teamā€

I can see the MUSS rocking out now…

Gibson Les Paul through punched out Marshall stacks. One of the truly legendary opening riffs in rock and roll
Addendum:
Turns out those might not be Marshall’s after all. Although Wiki states he used Marshall JMP’S in the studio of note ….ā€œThe Sunn amplifiers that West used were of the late 1960s era and were not factory stock. The four-channel amplifier heads’ preamps were wired as cascading preamps to channel one, out to the amp’s power section. This is what produced the long compressed sustain and distorted overdrive of the great Mountain sound that he is well known forā€¦ā€

Somehow I’m wondering if we’ll hear this? When the media rights partner of a supposed rival features our team more than theirs I can just see this getting under their skin :rofl:

Check out the 22 second mark in…

watching an old youtube video of Texas A&M vs. Utah in 2004, so many great memories. First time Utah was ever ranked in the preseason.

Marty Johnson, Bo Naghai, John Madsen, Travis Latendresse, Paris Warren.

The bad, RES sound system was so bad, Mike Rungee sounds like he’s talking through a megaphone from an oil barrel and those mismatched candy apple helmets with the crimson uniforms.

How about an old Creedence classic? ā€œBad Moon Risingā€ as we prep to kick off?

1:07 ain’t all that bad either.
