Don’t Rock the Juke Box
Posted on November 24, 2014 by Lori Schmidt
There were a couple rumors that surfaced this past weekend regarding Ohio State’s decision to play more canned music during their game against Indiana.

So to be clear: OSU says neither coach Urban Meyer nor president Michael Drake requested that happen.

There apparently was a concern that with the weather and late-arriving crowd, there wouldn’t be as much excitement early on vs. the Hoosiers as there normally is on a game day. Therefore, they went with the prerecorded music to try to introduce some volume.

Around halftime, they realized they needed a little bit of a course correction, so the Marching Band played more after the intermission.

Cont'd ...

The only thing I noticed during the game was how stupid it was to play songs with slow build ups before the main riff- over and over again songs got cut short before the 'pump up' part because they didnt have enough time to get to it.

That said, maybe I'm getting old, I don't care.

As far as the Indiana game PA use, Centuries by Fall Out Boy has got to go. That one is probably the absolute worst because it's (1) fucking Fall Out Boy, and (2) being used by ESPN for all their weekly CFB teaser commercials.

I don't recall hearing that but it was probably one of the slow builds I mentioned and I'm proud to say I wouldn't recognize that song.

Fall Out Boy found the formula for lame "pump up" music and are now going to release the same thing over and over again that will be used for sports thanks to being on contract with the same parent company as the broadcast networks.

Maroon 5 is the most uninspiring shit prior to a big game. That sucks too.
