[QUOTE="mmbt0ne, post: 99837, member: 855"] So, fun fact about this. A friend of mine is the person who actually got that song played during the VT game. At the time he was in State's graduate program for sports administration and worked in the GTAA. He went to UGA as an undergrad and worked in their AA while at school in Athens. One of his theories was that in-stadium music was grossly underused as a way to get the fans/team pumped up after big plays, especially coming out of timeouts. It's just hard to keep a crazy crowd going when there's 2-3 minutes of nothing. He was especially angry about a particular UGA game, (I think 2007 UGA/SCarolina) game when they played some country song coming out of a timeout for a big 3rd and long that killed the crowd instead of Soulja Boy, which had just come out and everyone on the team was listening to all the time. He thought it was better to get the players/students excited and then let that drive the rest of the fans in the stadium. Anyway, needless to say, he doesn't work in that world any more, but the 09 VT/GT game and that song are like his crowning achievement of in-stadium-music effectiveness. [/QUOTE]
