The Lions' Pride

I'm down with this. Personally, I think the entire pre-game music selection needs re-worked. Hopefully that changes this year too. Some of the same songs have been playing since I was a freshman in 2005. It's getting a bit bland at this point. Play some more current, hip hop, "pump up" songs.

They actually ditched it before the break, right after everything came to light. Other schools continue to play it, does that mean they are insensitive to the children? Maybe someone ought to contact the four-letter spin network.

And as much as I liked how the music helped get the crowd jacked, they'll come up with something else I'm sure.

Pre-game show is for Guido. Of course I don't want to hear lame a$$ hip hop songs because there are quite a few solid ones that could be played, more so than the same crap that's been blasting through the stadium for the last half dozen years.

Blue Band takes over the vast majority of the music during the game. That's how I think it should be.

While we're on that topic, I spoke with a blue band member in 2009 at the Michigan game in Ann Arbor (35-10 PSU victory) and he said that they could no longer play "skin I'm in" at the football games due to an issue with the original song's copyright or something of that nature..
I really loved it and wish they could or would still play it during fball games.. If you want to know the song I'm talking about.. it can be heard here.

"We will rock you" is SOOOOO terrible during pregame.
No one gets fired up and it's just a lame, boring drag before the team comes out.
I've only been attending games for 3 years (student) and the best pregame sequence was in 2009.
Right at the end of "Let's go P-S-U" the lion would roar and the team would come storming onto the field.
I don't know why they changed it but the addition of "we will rock you" is just forced and downright terrible.

Agreed 100%. Hearing the "P.....S.....U" coming out of the stadium is something special. The problem is the on field product hasn't matched up to expectations so the cheer probably has lost some of it's feel. I was there in late 90s, when we were pretty good......and that cheer gave me chills every time and had an intimidation factor. Now...with the on field production we've had lately, not so much.

I can't hear that song without thinking of the Jock Jams CDs from the 90's. Damn you Glitter!

Absolutely agree, loved this song especially when we were driving. Thats a bummer about the copyright issue. Thanks for the link too.
