No thanks.
You want a LIT crowd that is gonna go berserk in the stands? Maybe not the noon games, but 3:30 games and later. Play with your speakers loud, close your eyes, and imagine looking around Sanford stadium as everyone rocks TF out...

Yea that’ll work well at your retirement home for parcheesi night maybe. Or maybe canasta.
You have no sense of humor? Or do you need to be told in advance?
I'm not against change....maybe Baba O'Riley (remastered) ??
If this song isn't on your gym playlist, do you even lift bro?
What I'd like to see is the Red coat band do instrumental covers and add in some heavy electric guitar and 808 bass over the speaker system.
Maybe have the guitarist hanging on a wire and flying over the field Mad Max style...idk...
What if they play teenage wasteland instead?
Love The Who. Love Baba O'Riley.
But to my ear, there's no connection to Athens, the University or the Dawgs. So when I hear it, it doesn't really do anything for me.
One would think that with SO much good, make that Great, music across multiple genre's that's originated in Athens and bands/artists from Athens over many decades, there'd be plenty to choose from, include, highlight, rotate. What other college "town" could do that? Any?
Before giving my thoughts/ideas on what Athens originals I'd include (cuz I'm old and outdated), what do others think?
If we stick with non-local, I'll toss out Jeff Beck's "Loose Cannon from his "You Had it Coming" album.

Or this mashup because it's kinda local, the GodFather of Soul meets Led Zeppelin, and ridiculously cool.

If we're considering JB, it doesn't get more UGA football than "Dooley's Junkyard Dogs"
Question: is there a song from one of the bands founded in Athens or came to prominence in Athens that would stir up the crowd/players? I don’t know but thought some you younger posters might know. That way you keep the song “in house”.
No argument there, @dragonslayer, and I don't think "Sex Machine" would meet with "approval." But I figured I could get away with posting that link here for those who haven't seen it w/minimum risk of getting a down vote or OT. Which, this post will likely get from someone!
I agree it has no connection. Surely we have to have better options than the B52's, R.E.M, or Widespread Panic. None of those are "the vibe".
In fairness, there are a few REM songs that have enough edge to qualify.
Orange Crush maybe. But it's hard to see the Dawgs coming out to anything that has orange in the name
There are some WSP songs that would fit too. But their music is kind of niche and not very mainstream.
There are some Outkast songs that are good. They're hip hop, but they blended genres enough that some of their songs would be well rounded.
JB is great, but that's moving in the wrong direction timeline wise.
I've always felt like Babb O Riley was just plucked out of a hat and didn't have any relation to the program. Which is fine. But if we're just picking random pump me up songs, I think there's some better options.
By the way, when and who started this? I want to say Richt started it.
