That was pretty cool to see.

VT's fans put on a clinic on how to get pumped up before a game.

Maybe I'm old, but I think that pumping in canned rock music when you've got a band standing right there is lame. Beavis would think that it's the coolest team entrance EVAR.

If they did their usual Metallica entrance, then yea, I much more enjoy the band playing with the entrance. I guess I am old fashioned (though young) and like the pomp and circumstance.

I missed the beginning of the game, what did they do?

ESPN got a great shot of VT's fans reacting to their intro video and Metallica's "Enter the Sandman" prior to the team taking the field.

I'm not a big fan of piped in music, but their crowd was pretty amped up and it was cool to watch.

As the team ran onto the field the VT band played their fight song, but you couldn't hear it over the crowd noise.

UT's entrance is unique in that it's completely dictated by the band.

Nothing happens until the band gets in place and that T opens.

I think UT has a pretty good entrance to get the place pumped. Just sayin

Hoo boy....

I think UT has a GREAT entrance...UF does too. However I can't sit here with a straight face and say our fans get as jacked up as all of those VT fans did last night.

You've got to like the Tech fans' enthusiasm. It's just that "Enter Sandman" has become about the most hackneyed sports entrance music there is. It's hard to give VPI much credit for having a great entrance when it's so generic.

I want to know what boise state did to get their team fired up. We might want to try that out.

Last night was cool, but it was too drawn out. At least it seemed that way. 15 or so seconds is plenty of time. The affect to diminished after that.

Still cool tho.

I give their fans credit where credit is due, regardless of how played out that song might be.

No fanbase in the SEC gets that jacked up just before their team runs on the field.

I'm not sure that I accept pogoing as a useful barometer of how jacked up people are. My grandfather got pretty freaking jacked up about UT football to the end, and for the last few years he couldn't even stand up anymore. It's just that nobody instituted mandatory pregame pogoing to rock music at any SEC games because neither rock music or pogoing had been invented when most of our teams were serious about football.

They sure didn't look any more or less enthusiastic than most SEC fans once the game got started.

You don't have to accept it, and you don't have to like what VT's fans did last night.

I accepted it, and I liked it.

Their fans were great...their team did what they always do in a game with national title ramifications.

I'm a big fan of clemson's entrance. running down some stairs. Or maryland's. rubbing a turtle.

the coolest entrance ever would be a team fast rope out of some helicopters, though.

To each his own. Somebody's buying all those Nickelback records.

Molesting a turtle gets Maryland's players fired up? That ain't right...:whistling:

Clemson's entrance is cool. I got a chance to see it live when they played South Carolina in '02.

Speaking of South Carolina, that 2001 entrance is about as overrated as it gets....that techno crap they blast before kickoffs is even worse.

I guess the team wasn't paying any attention after watching their first half performance.

I mean it is cool to see the VT fans jump around and stuff but I'm glad we don't pipe music in at UT. Alabama played "Sweet Home Alabama" over their loud speakers about 10 times last year at Bryant Denny.
