Why so much hate for the song proposal?

[hailtoyourvictor]

The Big House is embarrassingly dull at times, so why is there so much hatred about coming up with a song to get the crowd more involved?

The comments at the bottom of the article are incredibly ignorant.

When you have the best fight song, you don't create a new one

The excitement will return when the team is better, period.

This.

michigan folks are getting tired of bad teams with firework shows.

Even when Michigan was good, the Big House was embarrassingly dull for a stadium holding over 100,000 people. What is the harm in seeing if a song like this can get some energy flowing?

First, there are very few songs that get the energy going in any stadium. Second, to assume a new fight song (which most will probably find embarrassingly stupid) would do the trick is being a bit naive. Third, every team has "embarrassingly dull" games against bad opponents. When the games are big, our crowd gets into them. We may not be the loudest stadium, but that's more due to the shallow bowl design than anything else.

1. I can name at least 5 songs that get huge crowd participation at other stadiums. For one example, check this out:

Listen and watch to when the song comes on during this game:

2. It wouldn't be a new fight song (either you are being stupid or willfully ignorant). It would just be a song to play at various times. It is not something to replace The Victors.


Odds are, no song will get the type of fan reaction "Jump Around" gets at Camp Randall or "Enter Sandmen" does at Lane Stadium. My point is, where is the harm in trying? A 1% chance is better than a 0% chance, no?
