Why on earth would they play The Proclaimers 500 Miles song

People like it as evidenced by hearing lots sing when the dj turned off the music on the chorus. Good choice dj.

That's what we're worried about after a game?

Anyway, it's a good song.
 
I still think the piped in music between plays has to go, it sounds like an arena league game. Let the band and the fans make noise.

Hate to break the news to you but it's done just about EVERYWHERE now and in some places just as much as HPSS. Watching LSU @ Auburn I was shocked at how much piped-in music there was and even at the Rose Bowl last night, during the Stanford-UCLA game, I heard some.
 
Unless you have a crazy band like USC or Ohio St, have no band. Go full DJ.

My only complaint is that whoever is in charge of the music realize, when the crowd is into the game don't try and play music over the crowd. The guy simply has to be more in tune to what's actually going on and get out of his own little world. It seems he has a script and he's going to stick to it come hell or high water. Several times Sat. the crowd was into it, then the music blared and everyone had to wait for it to end to get back into the game.
 
Isn't it 500 miles (plus 500 more ) to Iowa City?

If you're going be playing recorded music you can do much worse than this selection. It's a "get pumped" kind of tune.
Speaking of that...

It was both. Livin on a prayer was longer because it's a much longer chorus we all know and love. However, in the 500 miles chorus when there is alternating "da da da", the dj turned it down on every other one.
Did not even notice for that song.

No...we all don't.
Bon Jovi blows. And there is not one single tune they ever did that I'd like to hear again.
Check out his "voice" in that dumbass TV commercial he does. Just awful.

I knew there would be someone. Haha.
Yes, my comment of "all" wasn't meant to be taken literally. How about top 3 sing along songs in that those attending a Rutgers football game would agree on (I'm guessing 75%+ would concur with me so according to my non researched assumptions you are in the minority, sorry).
 
I always thought "Keep the Faith" would be the best Bon Jovi song to play late in a close game. The chorus would be perfect.
 
Just looked up the song and with lyrics like: "I'm gonna be the man who wakes up next to you" and "I'll pass almost every penny on to you", that song is clearly all about hookers and blow.

I like it. Good song.

Except by the time you wake up the hooker - and your blow - are gone!
 
the commercial that played at the end of the 3rd quarter was illtimed and waaaaaaaaaaaaay too long , trying to artificiallly get the crowd ready for the 4th but the crowd was organicly started to pick things up, that commercial is a buzzkill
