Maybe I'm out of touch

Is Charlie Burton still around?

I'm a kid and you blue hairs (and no hairs) are totes totes cray cray. Bon Jovi? I'm, like, whatevs.

Whats the point of doing a poll for rap music if every response is negative? 

 

As far as the Elvis question, comparing Elvis to Bon Jovi is like comparing 2Pac to Puff Daddy.

No.  Actually, comparing 2Pac to Puff Daddy is like comparing Quantum Physics with Myasthenia Gravis.

 

 

 

 

 

(I've heard of both but I don't really know anything about either.)

 

 

Haha, sorry.  Elvis is good, Bon Jovi Bad.

Not seeing a lot of Elvis tunes that would seem to work. Consider this list:

Blue Suede Shoes (Huskers wear red)

Heartbreak Hotel -- maybe for the other team?

Don't Be Cruel -- would that be begging?

Too Much

All Shook Up

Teddy Bear

Jailhouse Rock -- not quite on point

A Big Hunk o' Love (maybe if Elbert were around)

Are You Lonesome Tonight

Surrender -- not a good vibe

Return to Sender

If I Can Dream

Moody Blue

I don't know . . . just don't seem to be quite right.

[Norm Peterson]

But, Swan, you didn't list "Suspicious Minds" or "In the ghetto."

 

Wait.  Those don't really work either. Oh well.

Oh, OK.  I thought you were getting at Elvis is dead and Bon Jovi is alive.  But that didn't make much sense.

Sometimes you need to dig just a little bit deeper.....

Kudos to the guy who put up Fozzy Bear!!! The only thing better would of been Oscar the Grouch "popping" out of his trash can!!!!

Norm: Quantum physics may actually have some relevance to Nebraska basketball (ref. Werner Heisenberg).

Bon Jovi was fine in his day. The problem I have with the music picks and the intro is the they lean very heavily on mostly bad 70s 80s rock and overlook tons of killer songs that come out every year. There are 10 songs from the last two years that would make for unique, amazing intros.

Could you list them for the forum.

Posted this already on the old "Shiny New Arena" thread, but this would work...

 

... (I'd post more, but judging by some comments... I think I'll hold off) ...

Has anyone considered tweeting this stuff at Husker Hoops or any of the players?

[jimmykc]

Here's a really far out suggestion. How about asking the players for a few suggestions about what might pump them up for intros? I'm betting Bon Jovi will not make their short list.

[49r]

Has anyone suggested asking what the players themselves would like to hear yet?

 

I bet Bon Jovi wouldn't make their list.

From what we have been told Bon Jovi will not be used for the intros.

They probably get input into the intros and other stuff.  Asking them to pick out the playlist for the entire night?  That seems somewhere between unfeasible and undesirable.

 

Athletes throughout the entire USA play sports to crappy and contrived music.

If it's not this Bon Jovi song chances are it will probably be something worse.

As long as we're not going to be the "Bon Jovi presents the Nebraska Basketball" team it's going to be ok.

I can't believe what a touchy subject this is for people.  Yes, you could ask the players but you would probably get 12 different answers. Then what???  The players could vote to use some rap song that doesn't relate with anyone in the crowd over 25 years old?  Then what???  Anything they use has to be an upgrade from the crappy intro's we've used the past few years.  I didn't think the Bon Jovi intro was that bad during the scrimmage.  I'll leave it up to the powers to be to make the decision on what they want to use.  As long as they don't follow the same pattern as what they used at Devaney, I'll be happy.
