Kill the (C)rap music before the game..

I realize the sponsorship by Pepsi, I realize their target demographic. Take a moment the next game...all I can see are mostly Caucasian people. No, not being racist by any means; just making an honest observation. Most are sitting there as I do, gritting their teeth waiting for the repetitive music loops and the chanting of the ©rap music to stop. There is better music to play if you want to fire up the crowd. The only people I see reacting from the garbage ( and I DARE call it music) is the small student section. Or at least turn it down until the game announcements start... I know not everyone shares my opinion on music. It's very very annoying..

This is the same as saying, no offense but....followed by an offensive remark. That doesn't make whatever was said less offensive.

You are making assumptions that aren't there. I could say that you imply you're dense. See how assumptions are wrong? Again, I'm not putting any race above any other. omg...you trolls have led me into an argument that is almost about race vs target demographics of music genres and marketing... But...you 3rd graders will have the last word. They always do. So I've said what I had to say on a discussion board. Go ahead...berate me to make yourselves feel superior. Every forum has it's trolls....

Rude. You're free to come on here anytime you want and state your opinions, but you don't have the right to berate others for theirs. Completely uncalled for. You brought up the race card. You simply could have said, 'I dislike the rap music they play before games, and since Nebraska is mostly small towns and country music is probably more popular, why not play more country?'

There is something implied in there...

So, you won't be back then?

 
What are the songs? I can't make a judgement until I know what the songs are. Dismissing an entire genre is kind of small-minded.

 
The music we're talking about here is similar, if not the same, as the music the guys practice to. It's not for the people in the stands, it's for the players.

The only bad thing about that music is the awful sound system they play it from. Fix the sound system, don't worry about the music.

 
So you're saying we should play music that fits the demographic of most of our fans? Alright, I can't wait to here this before the Iowa game:

Like knapp said, the music isn't played for the student section, it's played for the players who are warming up. The players just happen to be the same age as the students (isn't that a coincidence?!?).

Seriously, I have never, EVER heard people complain about the music before kickoff, like the athletic department should tailor the game experience specifically to you. If it bothers you sooooooooooo much, don't show up.

 
Has anybody used this company for storage? I'm in need of good secure storage facilities for a good price. I've heard that this place is one of the best around.

Assuming the music is for the players to warm up to, do you still think the music should be nixed, Kidfierce?

 
I believe stale is the word OP is looking for. In that case yes the music is very stale along with the in game commercials. For the love of god can we get the game day DJ an unlimited iTunes gift card? Playing the Top 25 from 92.3 the Eagle (classic rock for you non Lincolnites) would scare recruits away, but that is the genera OP is requesting based on the average fan demographics inside Memorial. That or music from a phonograph.

Dear OP, "Black Betty" by Ram Jam is way past is it's shelf life

- Signed, Everyone Born After 1980.

 
I would like OP to share what fun music he would play before the game if he was the stadium sound operator!

He sounds like a really fun dude to be around!
