Re: UMass Lowell Offseason 2014: Brave New World

Well I guess the athletics survey to students last year came back saying we want a fight song.

So now the question lies where does this fit in at the games (I guess?).

I would assume start/end of game and during some on ice timeouts. They won't replace the Hey song after goals.

I haven't listened yet... In the middle of a move and other ridiculousness... That being said, it's going to be hard to reinvent the wheel in this day and age. I mean, I still laugh at UMass's 70s era turd.

Anything we get is going to be either forced or bland. Which is why my opinion has been that we wait until something good falls in our laps and not say, the best from a selected top 5 from a contract (I'm looking at you nike, Adidas, etc)

The music is mostly OK. The unfurling the wings and curling the talons was a but much for me. If I was from another school....

Well, death by marketing department groupthink is something to worry about... Like the tweet the schedule silliness

I don't care for this at all.

The music aspect of it is fine, and the lyrics are typical fight song lyrics. I think it's fine, and if you can get a whole student section of 1000+ doing it, it'll look good and sound good. It'll grow on you like every other fight song (with the exception of Boomer Sooner because that is the worst song known to man).

Yeah, but he's been with the program for a bit, so he's jaded like most of the people on the board. I think it will play well with the students and just add to the atmosphere.

As a student, (admittedly a senior) not a huge fan. That said if it got a few more freshman excited about going to games (and other athletic events) than you won't hear me complaining.

Considering I remember you as a stuent I don't think I need to hear about anyone being old...

And that roster is in the works. He actually does have a major and isn't undeclared. (Moral victory for the parents)
