hhcmatt Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 http://board.huskerhoopscentral.com/Killgans-TheCornhusker.mp3 Not exactly a basketball themed fight song but pretty awesome updated rendition of a 1909 football fight song by the Killigans. Read more about it on the Journal-Star HB, Red Rum, Row6Seat10 and 1 other 4 Quote
HB Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 That is just flippin' awesome, Dimes! I'm going to blare that from the speakers pregame, and then run through a flippin' wall! a0t0w0 1 Quote
AuroranHusker Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 That's a nice refresh of a great tune! The Cornhusker kicks a lot of new stuff out of the water, that's for sure. For the scarlet & the cream!! Quote
Silverbacked1 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Ding ding ding, we have a winner, chicken dinner. I want this played at football games and maybe change a few of the words so that it would make sense at basketball games. Like HB said ready to run through a brick wall. Quote
a0t0w0 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 I've got a thing for anything I can tie to whiskey...but... MAN that's awesome. Want to bridge the "Hip hop hogwash" crowd with the "hip hop" crowd? Throw them off with something like that. A+ in my book. Silverbacked1 1 Quote

jimmykc Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Nebraska's version of the Dropkick Murphys. Jean will never approve of this rowdiness. 49r, Silverbacked1 and Norm Peterson 3 Quote
49r Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Anywhere to download this? https://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/the-killigans/id251817713 It's not up there yet, but the LJS article says the song "will be available on iTunes" Quote
Norm Peterson Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 Uh, can I humbly suggest they play this in lieu of Bon Jovi's "This is Our Town" before Husker basketball games? Like the HUSKER POWER chant, it would be uniquely Husker. No one else would be doing it. Our new place needs new traditions. The HUSKER POWER chant was a great start and this would keep the ball rolling. Red Rum 1 Quote

Red Rum Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 As a fan of the Dropkick Murphys I approve of this. Have them play at halftime! Quote
swoof Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 IIRC The Killigans had a song used in the 2010 Ridley Scott "Robin Hood" movie with Russell Crowe. I believe it was re-recorded using traditional instruments. Quote
Tallbaby21 Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 Tremendous work. Should be a pre fourth quarter/ under 8 timeout song. Quote
HuskerActuary Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 How much time is there between the 3rd and 4th quarter? Seems like it could be too lengthy, unless they cut out all other activities that currently occur during that time. Quote
UnicamMan Posted September 18, 2014 Report Posted September 18, 2014 Yes. The Killigans Rock and this song should be played. Quote
AuroranHusker Posted September 22, 2014 Report Posted September 22, 2014 Loved hearing it pre-game at Memorial Stadium. GBR! Quote
Huskerpapa Posted September 22, 2014 Report Posted September 22, 2014 I loved hearing it, but perhaps due to where I was sitting, it was more than a little underwhelming. I think this could be a big hit in the stadium if introduced at the right time and in the right manner. Quote
Red Rum Posted September 22, 2014 Report Posted September 22, 2014 I heard it from more than 1 tailgate on saturday. It might be catching on. Quote
trickey Posted October 17, 2014 Report Posted October 17, 2014 Great clips in the video from the good and the bad...but mostly VG! Quote
