Music Walk-on

I would have thought Mr. Brightside would be a big hit with BYU students.

At the Boise game last year, though, they played it during a timeout before things had really even gotten ugly, and my roommate and I were just about the only two people for about 50 feet either way in the student section who really seemed to be into it at all.

I like Mr. Brightside, but from that experience, it doesn't seem to be a great for BYU games

Is BYU under-leveraging Mr. Brightside? Some of the biggest CFB programs use it

Isn't that song about a girl cheating on her boyfriend, and the other guy smoking then taking off her dress...

Awesome, I didn't notice it was played. It's a great song. I did notice the TV timeout event had the student section

BYU doesn't pay attention to lyrics. They care about the band's name though

There are literally thousands of songs better than Mr Brightside for that type of atmosphere

The intro to Memento Mori by Lamb of God would be amazing as an intro song but I think it's too intense for the BYU

This should be the field entrance song...

BYU should commission the Killers to write a custom entrance jam.

Can you imagine doing the dynamic stress/compression calculations on that many fatties bouncing in unison?

9/23/22 10:49am

We should copy Dixieland Delight from Bama but replace the lyrics with Utah, USU (and Boise too)

I guess you didn't notice they play it every game.

What part of the song do they play?

The part about taking off her dress

The only leverage that matters is at the line of scrimmage and in the secondary
