Dang WG. That really tore you up.



Oh I'm fired up.

It's like we continue to not learn from the past. For some reason our administration thought "boys of fall" was the cool new song sweeping america circa 09ish and we played that coming into the 4th quarter and the stadium went comatose.

Look at other school's pregames...the sole purpose is based around getting people fired the frick up. Yes, I realize this isnt' played right before kickoff. I heard it'll be more like 30 or 40 minutes prior. But still...why play it at all? It doens't even talk about clemson! The whole 3 minutes is basically just "man, athens sure is awesome. And so is UGA!". And i mean I agree, but they couldn't create a video with the same message that has a little bite to it? It's just embarrassing, to me, to have videos play where the stadium just stands there in silence watching the screen. No cheering or clapping, just standing there silently listening to this eulogy sounding voiceover of slow pan shots around town. And shots of kids in hospitals, solider reunions? frick are we trying to just make people get weepy and emotional? It's a fricking football game. This video is best suited for exactly where it is now, being shared amongst UGA people on the internet to enjoy at home. Not played 30 minutes before a big arse football game.

FWIW I heard this year they aren't running out to the band or this but some rap shite

ETA: crow, my guess is they play it like 5 min before kick off

I mean I get what you're saying. The videos in the stadium and our strategy with them leave A LOT to be desired. I just viewed this as a video they put out on a Monday for us to watch. If they play this 45 min before kickoff, I don't see it as a big deal. If they play it right before Baba O'Reilly, I'm gonna be pizzed.
