Yes, it’s played like 10 or 12 minutes prior to national anthem lineup.

PS, though I honestly don’t remember it last night.
I could have sworn it was sung AFTER the games when I was there 79-83.  Am I misremembering?

I was at MU in the '70's. I think it was sung (probably by Charlene Piasecki) but no one cared and simply ignored it. It was stupid then. No one swayed like they do now. In the McGuire era, we prided ourselves on NOT being like the state schools who sang those dittys. We were far too cool to be that conformist.

That’s why I’m done with color outs and stripe outs and other gimmicks.  It used to be our tradition is we don’t have any tradition.  Crazy @ss unis, weird floor, etc.  Let’s get weird, again.

Who cares?  It's embarrassingly lame.

Not as lame as:
"Fire Up, Mar-quette, Fire Up"
"Fire Up, Mar-quette, Fire Up"

But, pretty lame.

Our cheerleaders are pretty lame, too. I am OK with dance team but the cheerleaders only get people fired up when they are tossing Tshirts. The pyramids are repetitive and uninspiring.

Whatever they do, I just keep hoping every year it’s the last year they do “Where The Streets Have No Name” for intros. It was cool with the overall theme of the video 15 years ago, but it doesn’t fit at all with the vibe of the intros before it starts and it’s the farthest thing from a pump up. To go from an upbeat driving hip hop track to a hard stop into the softer temp, its a total downer as it currently is formatted IMO

Have thought this for awhile, except I didn't think it was a good theme 15 years ago

I'm the reason Streets is played during the intros, so I'm happy to ban anyone who dares to besmirch it.

In ~2008, MU removed Streets for a Fat Boy Slim tune, and I waged a merciless campaign with Craig Pintens to get it back.   

When I made an clip of Bono berating Pintens for having removed the song, the tide turned and here we are today.

True story.

Found it!  (sound on)

Marquette needs Pintens back. As much credit Crean gets, Pintens deserves more.

Scholl is 62.  Pintens is in his second year as AD at LMU.

Timing could work out well.

I thought it was just before the second half started?  I guess I'll be reminded on the 28th.

I was there the same time you were (graduated a year earlier, obvi) and it absolutely was played after every game.

I guess that's no longer the case?

My hilariously clever group used replace, "Marquette, hear our song," with "Marquette Junior High" because we thought it sounded like a middle-school alma mater.

But it was still weirdly comforting to hear it after every game.

many "alma mater" songs are lame.  "Varsity, varsity, U rah rah Wisconsin...." Pretty damn weak.

That’s why I’m done with color outs and stripe outs and other gimmicks.  It used to be our tradition is we don’t have any tradition.  Crazy @ss unis, weird floor, etc.  Let’s get weird, again.

Isn’t the definition of bland when Grey and Black are your alternate unis?

Agreed that almost all of these songs are awful, including MU’s.  Also, I’m not going to stand and show the same reverence for a dumb school song as I do for the national anthem. But to each their own - if you like it stand up and sing it anyway during pregame you just won’t have the backing music.

Well, when they play it now (20-30 minutes before tip) there are like 300-1000 people in the stands. So, it's getting the reverence it deserves.
