playing on the PA system at the Big House in Michigan during a play review. I wonder if they have game day presentation complaints? They should.

Had the same thought. They had a Neil diamond singalong before that. It's different when there's 100,000 folks.

If they are doing a sing along then I apologize. It is a fun sing along song. I guess I am too used to our fans just sitting quietly.

It's a B1G thing apparently. Lots of Build Me Up Buttercup, Sweet Caroline, etc. I don't get it yet, but there seems to be a huge lack of originality between fan bases. Ohio St. seems to have more of their own songs.

Red Sox do it, too.

I heard Wisconsin do a Build me up Buttercup singalong earlier this year. When the music stopped, the student section kept going. They sang the entire song even though that meant singing while the teams were playing.

The announcers were laughing about it.

Played "Sweet Caroline" last night at end of Iowa St/Okie State game. Yes, everyone was singing the chorus. They might still be dining this morning in Ames.

It is a "my era" song. I like it. If it is a sing along at a break I think it is kind of cool. I did not pick that up during the broadcast. I could only hear it in the background during the review.

Can one go "dining" in Ames, Iowa?

Our students are too cool for a singalong to work
