Yeah, I recall that. That guy SUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKED. His name was Gunter.
He took the part where the band plays Semper Fidelis (which is the perfect intro to the the playing of the national anthem) and substituted the theme from Silverado.

turrible.
Talk about a complete and utter frickstain. Changed the pregame to a shittier version after it had been done the same way for at least 40 years. I know mostly alums noticed and got pissed by that, self included.
And I don't like calling anyone a "sidewalk fan". Not all of them do it, but usually if its somebody who doesn't understand or participate in the traditions (or who does it wrong) they aren't former students. That's ok. I just wish they'd learn the traditions and songs so they can participate correctly.

Little shite like that makes me angry after a few beers. I don't want to berate anyone, but c'mon man.... The lyrics to the fight song and the alma mater are as familiar as Christmas music to me. Its like its own special holiday.
I know if you didn't go to Arkansas, you'll never get jazzed about the Alma Mater. But they put the words on the screen. At least don't holler or act like a dumbass while the rest of us sing it.
I'm 'sessed with the Razorbacks and the U of A. Can't be any other way. Sorry for partying.

I yearned for a return to my student tickets the first year I had season tickets post-college. The very first time we scored a TD, my wife and I jumped up and started signing the fight song as we always do. We quickly realized that no one in our section was singing it. People sitting down actually seemed annoyed by us. It pissed me off so much that no one knew the song.

Yep, Semper Fidelis.
I was livid. Absolutely livid. That literally screwed with my mind. It wasn't right and I remember that next season being thrilled it was back.
