Speaking of 2008 (i.e. Protest 2008 thread)-Pray

[warriorchick]

Please, no? Starting the game off with a prayer? That's a bit different from "Thunderstruck," no?

They play the video right before the Marquette starting player introductions.  It wouldn't replace "Thunderstruck".

I'm not saying as a big pump up, like Thunderstruck. Imagine they play the video right after the montage. At the beginning of the season, the audio is very loud.. but as the season goes on, and more people learn the words, the audio gets turned down a bit, so that by the end of the season, the audio for the video is coming from the fans. After "Pray", Thunderstruck comes on. That place would be electric. If I were an opposing player, I'd have problems dealing with that.

I think you have the vision and I don't... having difficulty picturing it in a way that doesn't seem silly. Again I think I'm the lone opponent of the Pray video.

Anyone else? If not this may be my most exclusive designation.

Don't we want the crowd loud and cheering for the beginning of the game? How would a solemn chant get us there?

That's it!

It ends in a thundering round of "We Are Marquette", followed by Thunderstruck.

Love that Otule is in this.  He's a link to the past.

That would be really cool--like a prayer.  The video gives me chills the way it is.

BTW, that script was run over a photo of the BC student section as a Converse magazine ad in 2008.  I have a framed copy in my rec room.

I was fortunate enough to be an undergrad working in the Athletic Department when Converse ran the ad in SI.  I, too, have the poster - wish they did a mass-distribution though.  My understanding is that they kept the posters in-house.

[BrewCity83]

I didn't even get a poster--I just ripped it out of a magazine and framed it.

In 2008, the Pray video wasn't used as the video before starting lineup introductions.  It was played prior to the second half.

I don't mean to be rude, but this video is too good to "remix."

It was clever though

Thunderstruck.   During the guitar intro, where the band goes "thunder", if the student section did "we are" for one and "marquette" for the next, that would be cool.   Or lame.   Depending on your outlook.

Agreed - fair assessment.

+1
This would be awesome.

Cool idea.

Pray video was money - but I really like this year's vidoe too....the overall production quality is vastly superior, and you can't beat cadougan trying to pass it around Al guarding him

I could never figure out why Junior just didn't take it right at him and draw the foul! I got mad everytime i saw that part.
