3rd down for WHAT??!!

I'm a big proponent of keeping it traditional and sticking to the band. I also very much dislike rap. However, this was a clever little move, and I approve.

I was skeptical also. It's legit.

Was amazing in the Stands. Everyone got up and yelled, a good bit got up and danced or jumped up and down as well. Me being one of them. Epic!! U could tell it helped our guys too. AJ and Sutton were hoping up and down and pumping up the crowd.

I can't remember the last time that I saw the student section look that involved. I was watching on TV and it shocked me, actually! It was like that when I was in school…but it has been very vanilla the last few years. Butch knows how to unite a fan base!

This really does not need to go overlooked. Of all the good things Butch has done this is a stroke of pure genius. Being at the game I can tell you it's been a long time since I've seen Neyland do something that big in unison.

It literally cues up the crowd perfectly. Everyone knows to get up for 3rd downs but last night was different. Everyone at work this morning that was at the game loved it.

I recall Butch saying that his Bearcats trip to Neyland in 2011 was very intimidating. So, I was wondering what USU players were thinking after seeing Neyland erupt like that on 3rd down, for the first time. I bet it rattled them a bit (like "what the heck did our AD get us into, scheduling this team at home?").

I'm sure they were extremely intimidated, however I read some of their post game quotes and they are the type of team that would never admit something like that. Act too prideful

So...overall most like this new "tradition"...

I would agree...but feel each year a new (updated) song/riff should be selected by the Team...unveiled at the open Fall Practice...

So it doesn't get old by 2015+

My $0.02

Did anyone else notice, that when they would show Keaton or another USU offensive player, when they were approaching the LOS, that they had this look on their face like "You've gotta be kidding me. Can this be over already?"

Keaton especially. Felt bad for the dude. Felt like he basically played the game by himself.

I like the idea of a new one chosen by the team each year. Solid idea!

This!! The student section was wild and they were wild the whole game.

It was great, the majority of the crowd seemed to love it. I wonder if it won't get repetitive after awhile. I found myself making fun of it most 3rd downs, but I could definitely feed off of its energy in a closer game.

I read on the Utah State board that there was a Joseph Smith chant also, possibly before the game.. Can someone describe,and/or point towards audio or video clip? They also said it was followed by prayer
