This is somewhat of an off shoot of the team entrance thread because a guy from Presbyterian mentioned that they play the scene from Braveheart where Wallace whips up the crowd with his "they may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!" speech.


NDSU started doing this last season and I think it is very entertaining when used in the right place and not over used.


For example, when NDSU was down at the half to SHSU they played a montage of shots culminating with the scene from Network where Howard Beale says "I want you to go to the window and yell I'm mad as hell! and I'm not going to take it anymore!".




Anyone else? Obviously you have to have a videoboard for this to work.

I completely agree with you that if it is in the right place and right time they are pretty cool. I see them overused at NBA games too much. However, I love when App uses Sean Connery's "Welcome to the Rock" quote from the Rock but that only makes sense since the stadium is known as the Rock.

I remember one game last year, it was super cold....My toes were freezing. All of a sudden the video board starts playing this old classic clip:

MSU didn't play alot of video clips during the games, but they did play an audio clip for every opening kickoff awhile back. It was "Nobody, and I mean nobody comes into our house and pushes us around......" something like that. I wonder why they stopped doing that. The crowd seemed to like it.

Well, with our traditon that goes way back of ringing cowbells, they play snippets of the SNL skit of "Needing more cowbell" at certain times. Definitely gets the cowbells ringing.
