What’s your pregame hype song?

[huskymedic]

Wait for it...

 

[Husky92]

Wait for it...

Ok. I’m old. ‘Nough said.

 

[hardcorehusky]

You mean there are hype songs beyond Carmina Burana and We Ready by Archie Eversole?

 

[storrsroars]

The great thing about Tommy Trumpet and Six Flags is they don't use that freaking autotune.

Yeah, I'm old. But I can still hear well.

"Dogs of War" by Pink Floyd. Always thought UConn could have made a multi-sport video using that song. JC screaming at, well anybody and everybody. Geno being restrained by his assistants. The famous Rod Sellers/Christian Latner incident. A Notre Dame player losing his helmet vs the huskies. The list is endless. Would have been cool back in the day.

 

[Tdaley]

Separate Ways by Journey was great hype song that they put together last year with some great Uconn football highlights over the years. I still have it on my phone.

 

[ZachFan]

Bring back O' Fortuna

 

[Bonamassa]

Dinah Moe Humm

 

[Uconnalliance]

5 minutes alone from Pantera!!

 

[CTBasketball]

I think they should play Wolfmother’s “Joker and the Thief” before all UConn tips and kickoffs.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Bring back O' Fortuna

If RE2.0 hadn't been such a turd, I might agree, but that needs burying.

 

[AreBee1969]

I always liked them coming out of the tunnel to AC/DC's For Those About To Rock. Only thing Diaco did right.

 

[Skiblets]

‘Don’t Believe the Hype’. Public Enemy

 

[Greenback]

Enter Sandman. Metallica

 

[Hamms30]

my poetic sense always thought the walkout should have started with a wolf or husky howl before the music kicks in. Calling in the rest of the pack as you will. I don't know any songs that start with a wolf howl though other than Sam the Sham

Hush by Deep Purple starts out with a wolf call. Not much of a hype immediately after that.

And for the love of Pete, PLEASE retire Welcome to the Jungle on 3rd and 4th downs.

 

[Waquoit]

I like Hell's Bells during the pre-game buildup.

terrible take. i sentence you to fifteen minutes of key jingling for this insult

That was mine when I played.

I never saw so many 3rd and 20s converted after hearing it. Even when it comes up on Spotify I start twitching.

Who has a key chain with keys on it anymore to dangle? And does it have the BigY card on it?

 

[storrsroars]

The ones who will survive the apocalypse.

 

[TheDrifter75]

Since this has started to go off the rails with key jingling, I'll go a step farther and offer something I'd like to see done.

I realize this may step on Jonathan's paws a little but, I'd like a little more play off the UConn name. Whether it was pregame leading the team onto the field, something at halftime etc. I'd like a whole dogsled team incorporated into the game day experience. Why not summon the inner Bob Diaco and maybe have a real competitor from the Iditarod either help with or carry out the duties.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

Do you want them to go back to the yowling dog instead??

I do.

And no.

I brought this up on many boards ~twenty years ago but gave up after a few years (due to resistance from other posters) that we should have a dog sled team (somewhat similar to Oklahoma's horse drawn wagon) with someone dressed like Yukon Cornelius (we can call him UConn Cornelius and pay Rankin Bass a royalty). We could motorize the sled to make it easier on the dogs.

I can see the headline:
ASPCA to investigate incident where husky had to be put down after being run over by motorized sled

That would only happen if Cornelius got drunk off his a## and had the sled moving faster than the dogs.


Note - they cannot use frat boys as Cornelius

 

[noeynox]

Ruff Ryders Anthem would get me hyped.
