re: What’s worse; Sandstorm or Rooster Crow Recording?

Ok - now I know what Sandstorm is and that's awful. Put me down for that.

I have not seen that Aggot post in several days.

Y’all need to quit stealing from poor people and come up with your own poorly concocted jingle. Georgia Tech has been through enough.

The fact you see those as dildos speaks more to your state of mind than it does ours.

They're both unique… traditions in my opinion.

The Rooster Crow, yes. “Sandstorm” is certainly not unique to South Carolina. It’s blared in stadiums and arenas throughout the world. It’s like playing “We Will Rock You” over the PA, and claiming it as a “tradition.”

I agree with the barking.. but I also don’t need people saying Roll Tide while I’m checking out at the grocery store or any where else.

I like the rooster, it’s no different than other stuff that schools do on key downs.

Sandstorm is what it is, the Space Odessey entrance is a better tradition.. imo

While Sandstorm is played at a few other venues worldwide, it is a unique USC tradition, albeit a relatively new one. Sandstorm at Willy-B, especially at night, is an amazing experience.

In sports Edit In the late 2000s, a marketing executive for the University of South Carolina added "Sandstorm" to the playlist of music at Williams-Brice Stadium during a Gamecocks football game. In a 2021 ESPN story, the executive recalled that he had tried using the track when he was employed at Vanderbilt University, but the Vanderbilt fanbase did not react strongly to it. After moving to South Carolina, he played the track at one football game, and received a fan reaction good enough that he decided to save it for a key moment in a later game. That moment would come in the last two minutes of a 2009 game against Ole Miss, when "Sandstorm" was played before back-to-back Gamecocks defensive plays that sealed an upset win over Ole Miss. Since that game, it has become a rallying anthem for South Carolina fans.[17][18] The track is not only used at football games, but at many other South Carolina sports events, and has become so iconic among Gamecocks fans that some have even used it at their weddings.[19] Professional wrestlers Toru Owashi[20] and Session Moth Martina as well as mixed martial artist Wanderlei Silva, and baseball pitcher Koji Uehara use "Sandstorm" as entrance music. It was also played at the 2006 Winter Olympics, and during the Ice Hockey World Championships. Nike used the composition in an advertisement series featuring the basketball opponents Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.[6] Kansas State University briefly used "Sandstorm" at men's basketball games, but banned it after the school's student section punctuated the track with chants of "F--- KU!" during games against archrival Kansas; the school has more recently tried reintroducing it.[19]

OK? "Enter Sandman" was not invented by Virginia Tech Football or Mariano Rivera, but that doesn't mean that the song isn't synonymous with the two.
