Like you I go to watch the football game. However, I like to mingle in pregame activities. Like having a beer, meeting other fans, other Egrizers & other alumni. I also view the campus and try to spot any changes. Since I only go to about 1 game a year +/- (Homecoming) I can't be a voice in pregame activities.I guess its just me but i go to football game to watch a football game.

I hate fight on! I hate RTD and I hate DOLA!!! Get OFF my lawn!
Also turn the speakers down I don't need loud music when Oldn Griz is giving me his credentials and Hoops is recapping the Lake house guest list for me pregame.
I really don't care just wanted to bitch like everyone else on e-griz.

Based on your logic, there should be no pre-game activities at all. Every single thing the Griz do for their pre-game activities has been copied from someone else except raising the 37 flag and some of Monte antics, although raising the flag was copied.
I remember the day when the Griz would just run out onto Dornblaser without any fanfare except for the Up with Montana song playing on the scratchy loudspeakers. Then we copied someone when the team started entering as one unit onto WA Griz field. Then we copied someone else when we started having the team enter with the Griz flag and then the U.S. flag and then the smoke and every piece of pre-game music is copied. It's just in today's internet age, you can more easily see where things are copied than in the days before the internet.
There's nothing new under the sun.
The consistent voice of reason on Egriz has spoken.
Name me one team that runs out to Herb Alpert and the TJ Brass. Montanans used to have a pioneering spirit. This is an opportunity.
Oh that brings back memories. My old highschool team ran out to Herb Alpert. I can still hear the trumpet.
Damn it!!!!

Pregame is not important to all, but itās a tone setter for the crowd. Wish they would do a better job at keeping the crowd involved like many college environments.

Texas A&M has male cheerleaders!?!?
Last year roughly this time, all the complaints were about how long it was taking to get into the stadium. Which would suggest no one was there to see the pregame anyhow....
We're smart people. We should be able to come up with something truly unique.
Has anyone ever considered painting their player's mugs on the front of portashitters?? I mean, you start showcasing those on the megaton, and I can't help but think the crowd would absolutely lose its collective fucking mind.
They do things a bit different there. I donāt think they have any female cheerleaders. They have male yell leaders. In fact, they gather in the stadium the day before a game with the male yell leaders and practice all of their yells and chants for the game, sometimes they get like 60,000 people in the stadium just for that. Itās definitely different.

Among some other weird thing, yes. Hell of an entrance though.

The mic drop moment on this thread came with whoever said that essentially with all the other things we go through to bring the team out, all the hype is lost by the time the ball is booted into the air anyway.
I hate ohio state, but if you want to dot the eye, cross the tea or have Monte stand out on the 50 yard line and scratch his ass all I want is for the idiot with the tv countdown clock to get off the field so we can get to football.
You're a reasonable guy MN, find out what Bemidji St does and we can play off of that, it matters little IMO. DBM doesn't want rap, someone else doesn't like 70's rock, I respect that, and you aren't going to get 26 plus thousand to agree on what we should have, so maybe the answer is an app (seems to be one for everything) where each person can go to and pick their own music to listen to as the team comes out of the tunnel. If I want to hear bounce around in an appropriate setting, I look at it in the kids' birthday party in Mrs. Doubtfire honestly, but who is to say it wouldn't work in Missoula.
The bottom line is, this conversation goes nowhere because at the end of the day no one is looking at it to change anything and we are still stuck in the stadium with the same play list that you can predict by the time left on the game clock.
It isn't just football, it's the same old thing from back in the day going to the fair and watching the rodeo with the clown doing the same jokes night after night, year after year.
