I don’t know whether Greg McGarity is simply screwing with us now, or if he’s sincerely concerned about what he perceives as a big problem facing the football program. Either way, I think this qualifies as a just shoot me now moment:
“We don’t have a go-to song,” McGarity said. “We don’t have a song right now that our fans, when they hear it, act like some of the fans of other schools when they hear their songs. We’ve never really had a go-to song or something people hear that makes them react in a certain way.”
You’ve never really had something people hear that makes them react in a certain way? Oh, I don’t know about that.

I liked your suggestion of “Atomic Dog”, butt if we’re going to go back in time how about George Thurgood’s “Bad to the Bone”? But I really think UGA needs to get something more upbeat and fast – something more current – that would fire up the fans. Wish SC hadn’t come up with “Sandstorm” because that’s a fantastic song to get the fans fired up and it certainly works in William Brice Stadium – unfortunately. When that comes on the entire stadium is up and jumping and waving their towels – and soooo loud. And it is played many times during their games and more often than not keeps the momentum of the game with them.
In might not be the best venue – but maybe they could try some tunes out at the G-Day game – I think there will be a bigger crowd there than usual due to the new coaches. But again, it’s hard to get that fired up and loud at G-Day since we’re not in a real game with real rivals.
At the UGA/LSU game last year I thought it looked really good in person in the stadium when the entire stadium was provided the red shakers and everyone put them to use. I watched the game again on TV and it was very impressive looking on TV all those red shakers and the loud fans. But UGA really needs something like “Sandstorm” to get the entire stadium rocking.
I live in SC among many gamecocks – friends and enemies – so Sandstorm is played a lot at various places (not just football games) and they get fired up just hearing it and I really have to watch myself because I want to start jumping and dancing along with them – but do use some self-control because now “it’s the Gamecocks’ song” as much as their entrance song “2001” is “their song”.

I personally find the band to be excellent and wish they had a free hand in playing more. They’ve shown a willingness to play old standards (“Leroy Brown”, “Hunker Down”), borrow from other bands (“Hey Baby” was introduced by LSU at the ’04 game I believe) and add new stuff (White Stripes & Yung Wun).
The players appear to like it too.

Can’t go back too far in time – there aren’t that many pump it up songs back in the day – something current that gets the stadium rocking is what UGA needs – it starts with the students – and if UGA plays something or pipes something in they don’t get fired up with – they are just going to sit there. I think that’s why Sandstorm took a life of its own at Wms Brice – not just with the students but the older fans, too.
There’s a song that UGA just got started playing a year or so ago – I think it’s “Sweet Caroline” or something like that – that’s awful for a UGA football game – very old timey/fashioned – and I’m not a youngster.
Krypton is UGA’s song – and it’s a great tradition – but it’s only for the start of the 4th quarter. Sanford Stadium needs something lively – something that makes us want to jump up and down and wave the shakers or whatever – to be played throughout the game – before KO, after TDS, after stopping the other team, after other team fumbles or UGA intercepts passs, etc. etc.
If we are going to go back in time – I suggest one of the favorite college tunes – that never goes out of style – “Shout”. The band could do that or it could be piped in – not the entire song – just what I think would be the chorus “jump up and shout now” which is repeated several times – and could also get the fans to start quiet (as in the song), with the “jump up and shout”, and then the phrase “a little bit louder now” and it gets louder and louder. I know this has always been a popular party song – with everyone jumping up – with the phrase “jump up and shout now”. Just a thought.

I stand corrected on the “Sweet Caroline” – didn’t know it was that popular. I do like Neil Diamond but didn’t think 20 year olds or college kids of today identified with him or his songs.

I grew up in the safety net of Athens and grad from UGA – away from opposing fans and it’s really tough living amongst Gamecocks.
Any function or party I go to over here – if it’s a DJ playing or band, Sandstorm is played – and as I said the gamecocks get fired up whether winter, spring, summer or fall – to that song.
I suggested “Shout” because it’s still popular today at parties of all ages including Frat and sorority parties – thought it would fire them up at games.

Now, it seems McGarity is doing everything he can to take that away from us. Instead of holding the line and setting the example, he’s caving into what schools like Clemson, South Carolina, Auburn, and others are doing.
So we’re in danger of losing what class we have left, when it comes to games. What’s next? Why not just trash our ethical standards while we’re at it, so we can be like the others. It would give us more of a competitive edge than piped-in noise ever could.

I understand. But “fun music”? I know I’m old, but I don’t get it. I can’t get what recorded music has to do with a football game. Something else must be wrong.

It’s JMO, but this is one case in which the new fad trend is wrong. That it finally captured the SEC, and especially Georgia, is remarkable. But that doesn’t make it right. Now we’ve crossed the line of having to entertain the crowd, where before the game itself was the consideration.
And, of course, there’s no going back. If they make any more “progress”, I’ll have to mute the sound as I watch from home. They already ran me out of the stadium, since I was there to watch college football games. They can’t run me out of my home, but they can force me to mute the sound.
And I suppose, if they keep going, they can finally make it so unpleasant, visually, that I won’t even watch at all. If they want to do that, they’re certainly on the right track. Just keep chugging along.
