CONTEST: What Band/Song Best Represents Your Conference

[ursus arctos horribilis]

I can think of a couple for the Big Sky but wanted to see what you guys got?

I"m looking for real responses here and not just the same old smack bs where someone from the SoCon, MVFC, or the BSC puts up "I'm a loser baby" or some **** like that about another conference.

I will pick my two favorites for each conference and run a poll to see which one you guys think is best and the winner gets a Phil Steele Magazine sent to them.

If you have more than one song throw it up cuz there isn't a limit to it.

Remember this is YOUR CONFERENCE not just YOUR TEAM.

[superman7515]

Because we're expanding into the northeast (Stony Brook/Albany) with our drinking conference with a football problem...

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Wow! Some serious quality right off the bat fella's!

Supe, that is actually one that I was thinking of for CAA.:D

It's the soundtrack for 1/2 of the App/MT game in 2009 on a video and it works pretty well there too considering the Irish in Montana.

Great idea, Ursus! I have to go with Tom Lehrer's "Fight Fiercely, Harvard!" it satirically describes what a bunch of effete snobs we Ivy Leaguers are!

[SportsLover]

For the MVFC. I think it represents how grueling and tough each conference game is.

I like darell a lot but I gotta agree that's sort of embarrassing.xlolx

One of the first thoughts I had was "who's gonna be the one to put up some Queen and hack this up beyong belief"...I was pretty sure it would be Grizo.

Anyway, there are some really good picks and some that really miss the mark. I didn't explain real well but the number of hooks the thing has to your region (not hooks in the song) go a long way for me on this.

Hooks I'm refering to...

1. Is the music associated with your region/conference...doesn't have to be popular music.

2. Does the music come from someone home grown in your region/conference.

3. Is it somehow culturally related to your conference, teams, etc...

ODU Smitty had a band that must be from his area but I didn't get how that song represented the CAA in any way.xconfusedx

Maybe it's just because I know Dropkicks better but man that one seemed a lot closer to the nail on the head to me.

I'm sort of surprised that Pearl Jam hasn't been thrown up for BSC with members from Cal, MT, and the home base being WA with a huge following everywhere but in particular the Oregon, WA, MT, CA, link. That's definitely associated with this region as well as a whole lot of other of that style of music.

Where's my MLB Grizo?
For mine:
1. Hip Hop is big in the urban South (60% of our schools are urban)
2. Is my only no, but it was a popular song the bands used to play
3. It's related to the league because the song is about making popular choices, not practical ones. Which is something that I feel is a problem with the league. So for me it fits to a T, although it's hard for others to see it. Should have posted this with the video.

[ODUsmitty]

Ursus-

The Delaware fan actually got the reference. I don't think he liked it, but he got it.

The song, "You're Not Good Looking Enough to Be a Bitch" is a reference to the ruling from the CAA not to allow ODU (or Ga State for that matter) to compete in team sports in the 2012-2013 athletic season. VCU avoided this fate by moving immediately.

It was a jab that the CAA has been "bitchy" to the teams that are moving onward and upward.

[Eaglesrus]

Right on, reps for you! Blind Willie McTell is a relatively unsung hero of blues music, influenced so many great artists.

I'm guessing that there are quite a few GA Southern fans who could have given you that answer (including me).

Got it, didn't get it at all the first time.xlolx

I think the retort song would be "I ain't knockin boots with ya anyway so I'll be a bitch if I feel like it".

I should go listen to Supe's songs in answering ya cuz maybe one of them says that.:D

Yours makes the connection on multiple levels Jag and I got that right away. Hell, it's tough to hit all the hooks but I was trying to give some indication of what I was looking for so it wasn't just some random phrase in a pop song that someone thinks makes the connection.

No playoff wins in the last decade, but back in the day they made the semifinals as recently as 1999 before losing to Youngstown State and the Sweater Vests and won the first 1AA/FCS national championship back in the 70's. Not as successful anymore, but every now and then they'll hang in for a whole game and put a scare into one of the larger conference schools in the playoffs (2004 Hampton vs William & Mary, 2006 Hampton vs New Hampshire, 2009 SC State vs App State).

Yes, yes and kind of.

The Allman Brothers Band and Outkast are both the standard of Southern music in their respective genres (don't even give me that Skynyrd crap because Gregg, Duane, Dickey and co. could play the blues in circles around those fools), all hail from SoCon land and while they are not directly related culturally to any SoCon team, I can guarantee that most SoCon athletes over the past few decades have grown up listening to one or the other!

As for the choice of songs, Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik and Southbound just seemed the most appropriate because I'll be damned if I was going to put in a song about Statesboro, no matter how much it rocks!

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Just wanted to make sure it was clear xthumbsupx

Now, if you have a hip hopper from a group from New Orleans or something like that and it actually makes reference to the SWAC then you hit all the hooks.

Hell there could be one and I wouldn't know about it.xlolx

There is some new dude...JZ or something like that? Maybe he has something like that.

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Yes, yes and kind of.

Yours was also nail on the head type **** mike. When I thought of the one for SoCon I went Allman Bros. first, Avett Bros., and then...hey! WTF is with all the brothers?

That's not a reference to you 813Jag!

Well other than being a story thief and then not telling why it has relevance it's a pretty damn good pick as far as the group goes. Shangrila or maybe even Stargazer would have been stronger picks as far as title or lyrically but it's the best so far from a BSC standpoint.

I got the location, band, and body part correct! That's 3 for 3 in my book, and a lot more accurate than I usually am!

You're right! And I can't argue the fact that Shangrila and Stargazer would have been better choices, but I was too busy embellishing to consider them at the time...my bad!

Great choice and I get the story on it well. When the thread is about "your team" and not "your conference" it would be a great selection. Why am I having so much trouble getting that part through to you? Hell we even talked in person about this and I can't seem to make you understand this?

Honestly, am I not being clear that isn't about one team?

Here's a couple for the Southland, given the cajun heritage prevalent around Lamar, McNeese, Nicholls and SE La....

For the Northeast Conference, the Eagles' "New Kid in Town" could be the right title, but the song itself doesn't work.


The Ivy League, OTOH, should go with The Boss

Now i think i'm going down to the well tonight
And i'm going to drink till i get my fill
And i hope when i get old i don't sit around thinking about it
But i probably will
Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture
A little of the glory of, well time slips away
And leaves you with nothing mister but
Boring stories of glory days

[Model Citizen]

A little off the subject, but has anyone mentioned that the PFL should get a playoff bid?

Not bad! As old as I am, I'm still too young to remember the Ivy glory days in the last century. carney2 recalls them vividly, though.

As a youngster, I always thought that both Rick Nielsen (L) and Bun E. Carlos (R) of Cheap Trick were pulled straight off a Patriot League campus somewhere.

Plus, Cheap Trick's "I Want You to Want Me" could well serve as an ode to PL expansion efforts.

Nice!!

Now we're cookin'. Obvious connections, liked & respected across the conference, and a song that has lyrics that can be connected to the task at hand.

Covered the gamut SE, nice work.xthumbsupx

Sweet baby Griz Jesus...Oh how I long to hear kudos like that from Ursus, directed at me!

[BisonFan02]

Who won? :D

[ursus arctos horribilis]

Who won? :D

Nobody yet. It's gonna be pretty easy to pick the contestants. Sort of a disappointing effort put forth on this with all the clowning but there is some gold to be mined so I'll close this tomorrow and put up the polls on Monday/Tuesday I guess.

Not exactly seeing the "hooks" and you are not explaining them. I see some surface message that doesn't mean a whole lot Gil.

Can you help me with how the are relatable other than a title or small lyric sample?

I sort of expected Houndawg to see this and knock it out of the park for the MVFC but never did see him.

[Gil Dobie]

Free for All, basically top to bottom, anyone could win.
Old Man River is basically geographic
Smokin, the MVFC has the National Champion
Breakin my Heart is an in your face

........but being I had to explain, need to come up with somethin better. :)

Gil, you just didn't see my temper tantrum about hacky **** people were throwing up and what I was actually looking for. If any those songs had that encompassing description you would have a keeper and a legit entry.

Go check some of the work asumike and superman did. They have a tendency to "get it" even when I wasn't being absolutely clear about what I was looking for.

You were right about one thing though. Those are not good.xlolx

No "Cowboys from Hell" for the Southland? :D

[ursus arctos horribilis]

No "Cowboys from Hell" for the Southland? :D

That actually wasn't bad at all considering their roots, and although the song title leads one to single out a specific team from a different state in the region it's at least from their conference footprint.

You might very well get the nod considering the absolute lack of SLC input and with the choices they have available that would be an embarassment for those conference members.

It's not a bad choice by any means though.

1. Is the music associated with your region/conference...doesn't have to be popular music.

2. Does the music come from someone home grown in your region/conference.

3. Is it somehow culturally related to your conference, teams, etc...

Several Mellancamp songs could follow these points.

Gotta try one from the 15 year old Fargo kid that replaced Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper in Moorhead the Day the Music Died in an Iowa Cornfield. Think of the rubber ball bouncing around a couple of the domed stadiums ;)
