New Song for The Swarm

[Fryowa]

Wasn't it Doyle that wanted that song as the opening?

If we go down that route then we have to tell Raimond Braithwaite to hit the road. Chris Doyle is in all likelihood a total POS, but he was undeniably the absolute best in the business at his job of making really really big, really really strong football players, and Braithwaite has learned the trade under him. I say use your knowledge, Raimond, and we keep using Black In Black.

There's almost nothing more gratifying. ha -I've been catching some heat from my Husker co-workers this week over what's happening in IC. Thankfully JD Speilman left this week to give me some relief. I mean, Nebraska doesn't even have this mess we have and they are STILL losing their best black players.

Yeah I had a trucker who came through the office to drop off paperwork, he's from Pender and knows I'm a Hawk.

Told me he heard the Iowa cheerleaders were gonna wear white hoods this year...

I don't even respond other than to say we'll work it out in November or whenever the game actually happens.

The thing that really sucks is no matter what happens with players and staff, even if they come together and boot the bad apples, and create a good atmosphere...every time we beat the huskers for the next decade the excuse is gonna be, "But...but...but...RACISM!!"

Yeah, I am with ya, Back In Black is just fine where it is followed by Sandman. Braithwaite has already been pretty universally praised by the Iowa players past and present.

I'm for keeping as is if only because good luck suggesting something I'd like better. Call it comfort or whatever but Those songs were right in my wheelhouse time wise. They may as well have been made for what Iowa's been using them for. But that's just me. Tinkering with it would lead to more tinkering with it. The odds of finding another song or 2 that hit like those do that we'd want to use for 20 yrs or so is what? So why get rid of a good thing that obviously works just for the sake of change?

 

[MelroseHawkins]

I think this would be kick ass!!

 

[NCHawker]

I never liked back in the black...sounds dumb. IMO.

This needs to be the teams new song. Adopting it proves we are not racist/sexist/pedophile/homophobes . . . then again maybe it does ?????? . . . screw it, I wanna see these moves adopted by the team as they come out of the closet, I mean tunnel . . .

Iowa women's basketball used this as their intro song in '18-'19 (radio edit, of course), I always thought this one was pretty sweet:


Once again here we go
Know the name know the flow
Turn me up a little mo'
I'm setting traps, home alone
You know you wack
I'm a maniac
Boy you know I'm black to the bone
Pick a place, n**** pick a date
I'll go Goku, Piccolo
You thought you was good, huh?
Take you out back, drag you through the woods, huh?
Thought I was weak, huh?
You ain't see the work I put in all week, huh?
Give me that
Where the city at
Nitty gritty, this ain't gon' be pretty, Jack
Not afraid
Get up out the way
Ya'll used to hate
Look at what you made
When it all goes down...
I'ma' run this town

Hold up homie let's wait a minute
Lately I don't even pay no visits
I can still hear the hater critics
Saying, "he ain't gon' make it is he?"
Lately I developed laser vision
Yeah burn through people and their cruel intentions
Crazy, you trying to play me?
Boy you wouldn't even make the scrimmage
Get your ass up and pass up your limits
Got these new rappers looking vintage
All I really do is eat spinach,
Count money up and hang with pretty women
I was driven yeah I had the vision
Then Goon came along and made it vivid
Haters livid cause we really living
I'm a freight train
You a Honda Civic
Hold up, wait, let me get specific
If you pick a mission and you stay committed
Stop transmitting and you really listen
You'll see that big collision is just a big transition

Iowa football used this one for a summer workout hype video a few years ago...not appropriate for Kinnick stadium, but still a good pump up song:

 

[westender]

If they played AC DC for a couple games and changed it up for others that'd be okay. Maybe just save it for the first game of the season. Some change would be good.

Hell they're still chest thumping their NCs from the 90s. You're absolutely right they'll never let this go.

More relevant today than ten years ago. I want to keep Back in Black, Enter Sandman and Crazy Train. But this could be added in somewhere.
