At the last game which was our first this year due to some health issues. it was a mini-homecoming. I realized we have sat in the same sport with essentially the same people for 30 years now. The pregame withe the exception of the skydivers has changed little. The hype songs the same, "First Down" - "Montana" the same. Even the comments from those sitting around us were the same almost predictable. and on cue. In short us old season ticket holders are old and what has happened 200 times is old. I have trouble believing its different anywhere else in the stadium. We have an aging fan base and little new . Even the NEZ is old. Does anyone remember the old Boom Crew that got the NEZ going in the first place (Heck I even saw some old Boom Crew Tee shirts being sported.) The old guys are complacent, griping about Poor Pre-game etc but GAWD FORBID anything changes, from an offense to defensive screens to "Cotton Eyed Joe" Tradition is fine but.......
My understanding is that was the first time they'd played Cotton Eyed Joe all year....
MY understanding is that the playing of Cotton Eyed Joe shall be reserved for spectacular Griz Football moments. Perhaps the lack of playing it this season confirms my belief.
