When a kid moved into the neighborhood from TX, they beat him up because he was a Cowboys fan, and therefore, as they saw it, a communist.Jake Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661158372662154515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14080323.post-38345658760035596652010-01-26T15:57:11.769-06:002010-01-26T15:57:11.769-06:00It was the actual U of M marching band.

Or some kind of MIDI keyboard-drum-and-bass [crap]? It better not have been played on a church organ.<br /><br />As for the Sabbath, yeah I guess it could work. Often the closers (ninth-inning relief pitchers) in baseball enter the game from the bullpen to their own theme song. The Yankees' Mariano Rivera comes in to Metallica's "Enter Sandman," and Boston's Jonathan Papelbon's song was "Shipping up to Boston" by the Dropkick Murphys.C - Loghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061984603918623697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14080323.post-45676945464108833622010-01-26T13:58:56.889-06:002010-01-26T13:58:56.889-06:00Yeeeeeeeeeeah, I'm gonna have to...disagree wi...Yeeeeeeeeeeah, I'm gonna have to...disagree with you on this one.

It's like Perry Como in marching-band form.)<br /><br />I do agree that the All-Blacks' Maori <i>haka</i> is quite intimidating.C - Loghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061984603918623697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14080323.post-85362528587410201592010-01-26T01:30:51.596-06:002010-01-26T01:30:51.596-06:00I remember hearing the Michigan "fighting son...I remember hearing the Michigan "fighting song" for the first time at a friend's wedding a few years ago (the newly-married couple made its entrance into the ballroom with that song), and my reaction was "meh". Not particularly impressive, nor intimidating. The All Blacks doing their tribal war dance, now, THAT'S intimidating. Michigan fighting song?

I think it might have had possibilities, if played before games as a way to enrage the team's blood lust a la that college football coach years ago who used to butcher a calf in the locker room right before big games.C - Loghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07061984603918623697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14080323.post-90441486992873257352010-01-25T02:25:51.471-06:002010-01-25T02:25:51.471-06:00Did you know that Prince wrote a song for the Viki...Did you know that Prince wrote a song for the Vikings??
