How many schools would you say have that now? I could even hear it in the background of the WVU/ISU game listening to the game on the radio on the way home from South Bend. I was thinking that even ISU shouldn't have to stoop that low.

It has been in the rotation for 2 or 3 years

Band plays it not the jumbotron.
The students seem to like it.

I'm not a big fan.
I assume you mean as part of the half-time show?

Or a commercial break song (where they ask the players to vote)?

I don't mind that. That means it would happen once per year. That's different from making it a tradition, or a victory celebration.

Classic case.

OSU beat Michigan in 2016 in close hard fought game that went down to the final moments. The crowd rushed the field to celebrate. Rather than the students cheering and singing the fight song, the DJ cranked up Sweet Carolin to volume 100.

Talk about taking a dump on the moment.

I don’t know when things went so wrong.
This was also played after the OSU win over PSU last year. *
