Wake-Duke Intro 1/28/2009

[mahnka7]

I just remember that I spilled my bourbon drink as soon as I made it, then I put the rest of my flask in another drink and spilled that one

[jmdeacon101]

ESPN voted the tie dye nation to be the toughest place to play in the ACC and the best introductions and it is well deserving. Now if we could just get a better team together then the nation will see this type of crowd again

[WakeTheNation06]

Remember that game well. Beating Duke is always fun!

[JackGustafson]

The staduim isnt small at all it holds around 15000 people.

[wake0321]

The Wake Forest stadium may be small but it is one of the loudest and most intimidating stadium to come and visit for opposing teams. GO WAKE!

[movies514]

i have goosebumps watching this video i say that wake forest is one of the loudest venues in college basketball

[FSUNolez06]

I was Dino, the mascot, this game (and the UNC game).

[greywake]

does anyone no the song from the start to 1:00?

[wake0321]

@greywake Welcome to the Jungle by Guns 'N Roses

[RMphan]

awesome

[adidashba]

The devils better be glad that they don't have to come to winston where we would take the acc crown from them the one year they were hands down favorite to win it.

[BigHippiePat]

@adidashba

damn right my friend. I just wish that we would get on the ball. We should have won the last 4 games.

[GoBigRed1918]

Yeah James Johnson! representin' WYO!

[4xguru]

should have cut it off at 1:00... or they should just use unstoppable for the entire intro

[uberrawesomee]

@4xguru But Welcome to the Jungle is what's actually playing in the Coliseum.

[4xguru]

@uberrawesomee Yes... that's what the players are announced to. However, I think WTTJ is overused and the Demon Deacon on the motorcycle is a bit weak.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a Wake grad and I love the intros, but the song they used for the 1st minute is called "Unstoppable" by E S Posthumus. It's the same song they used for the Sherlock Holmes soundtrack... just wish they would have done the intros to that song instead.

[BigHippiePat]

@4xguru

Wake Forest has been using Welcome to the Jungle since the days of Tim Duncan. Absolutely Not my friend...aboslutely not.

[4xguru]

@BigHippiePat

Nah... just not a big fan of WTTJ, but will always be a WF basketball fan. Pretty surprising what they've been able to do this year, especially when all the so-called pundits wrote them off. Disappointing loss to VA Tech the other night.

[BigHippiePat]

@4xguru

yeah that sucked man. We needed that one. Hope we can get back to our winning ways.

[elementskaterxl]

as long as wake beats unc as well, its all good. it also made it ok that Duke got a win against wake at home and scored over 100. but still, this game suckeddd. after henderson drained that clutch shot, it killed seeing them just not pay attention to the dude underneath the basket. oh well, i hope wake beats unc this year haha. it shouldnt be that difficult. although they did lose teague.

[65hfjzghj]

GO DEACS

[ChuggingDemBrewskis]

wake sucks ass, duke is the king dog. Im the shit im im the man im the fucking man. this intro sucks, the students are retarded there all like duh duh duh duh. idiots. when duke plays wake im going there and kicking all your asses. hand me a damn brewski

[BigHippiePat]

WHy do you all have to ruin a Wake Forest video with this bullshit?

It's a sport...and it's our favorite team. We're supposed to come on here and support them without having to deal with your bullshit.

My pops and my brother are Duke fans , but I don't sit there and talk bad about Duke because I'm a WF fan. In fact I'm not afraid to admit that when it comes to education, Duke is in a class with the Yales, the harvards, & the stanfords but threatening us because of our team. get over it.

[sportsfreak42091]

I was there :] ... its way better in person.

[emilypshhh]

what is the song at the very beginning, the classical-ish song?

[frontline9669]

WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE!! GUNS AND ROSES

[emilypshhh]

no, i know that, i'm not stupid, the classical song when they are playing the video on the jumbotron...before welcome to the jungle comes on.

[travmeister2]

the first song is called "Unstoppable" from E.S. Posthumus. It's a sweet intro track

[frontline9669]

Ya they also do that song for the nfl.

[DEACONAP4LOVE]

thanks

[HrothgarOfHeorot]

When I watch a game between Dook and Wake Forrest, I find myself hoping they both lose.

[frontline9669]

Yea bruh. Who wouldnt want 2 rush the court. Its fun as shit. Nothin can beat it.

[DEACONAP4LOVE]

This is so fucking awesome !

[RockChalk911]

Its one of the best, i have been to ku games, but wake forest just simply beats it, greatness, for every college basketball fan, that has to give chills down your spine, untill the demon deacon, thats kinda lame, no offense, totally ruins, but still the best!!!!!

[adidashba]

seriously, there are no better intros anywhere b/c:

1- Coach K hates it

2- The light at the bottom showing the students is baller

3- best costumes of any student section including tie dye, body paint, etc.

4- The video is baller, but you can't see it there. better than anywhere.

5- The entire student body joining arm in arm is awesome

6- The tie dye is just unbeatable

7- Music may not be original, but everybody took zombie nation from us, so you can suck that argument anyway.

[wakeboardMN10]

im pretty sure penn state owns zombie nation. not even a penn state fan but it seems like they own that. just like wisconsin owns jump around and VT owns enter sandman

[adidashba]

Depends on what you mean by "own." I think that psu has certainly received the most attention for zombie nation, but that's just b/c they are a big school and therefore a big media following. Wake owns is it if you are talking originality. Marquette apparently claims it as well, but I know for a fact that we got it through german soccer and our soccer team used it, then our bball team. zombie nation chronology at wfu for you right there.

[DEACONAP4LOVE]

I agree 1-7!

[ChristyTinkerbell]

Damn right!! Plus, if I'm not mistaken it's the only college intro ever to be televised...Why? Cause it's the shit!

[dunleavy3423]

thank you bpswim

[OctoberInTheChair]

For all y'all that think this is crap, you've obviously never been in an arena like this. It pumps you up, you're screaming your lungs out, you're jumping up and down... The team out on the court is YOUR team, and this just makes it better. Come to a game, feel that atmosphere, then talk.

[dramadude22]

i was there for this...as badass as it is on tv there is NOTHING like being in the stadium and swaying with the entire student body and getting pumped up like this...btw what followed this intro was AMAZING!! GO DEACS!!

[adidashba]

Absolutely unbelievable intro. There is no college arena that does intros like the deacs.

[mikeygriff]

I just threw up in my mouth.

[FSUNolez06]

That is BAD ASS!

[dunleavy3423]

you must think i'm stupid.

i'm talking about the opening percussion sequence, right before the DEACON comes out on the bike to guns n roses.

maybe it's completed synthesized by wake or something

[bpswim]

it's called "Unstoppable" by E.S. Posthumus

[deaconbitches]

Omg that place was rockin the loudest i have ever heard it

[dunleavy3423]

what is the opening song to this?

[ezman700]

Come on!?! Do you live under a rock? haha

Welcome to the Jungle by Guns 'n Roses.

[dorf213]

welcome to the jungle

guns n roses

[t42beal13t]

I was on the second row of the student section and I'm getting chill bumps just watching this!

[HrothgarOfHeorot]

This is fucking dumb.

[BigHippiePat]

You are too. This was pretty awesome live and it came off good on tv also.

[TheWakeZone]

already 11,000 views.. YOU GUYS LOVE IT?? Sick it is! :P Go Deacs!

[RockChalk911]

uh thats fuckin tight

[naynayroids69]

what is the opening song to this?

[ez44play]

The beginning was great, the connection b/w the team and the student section and the accompanying music. Then got a little played with the mascot on the motorcycle coming out to Welcome to the Jungle. I'd just go ahead and delete that part of the intro, keep the mascot over with the cheerleaders or the band.

[pruida5]

gotta love haters

[burzo13]

ok nibbles if its not that great, find us one better

[nibbles1199]

hahaha see you have no defense. just tell me to shut up and i suck c*ck. good one. its really not that special in any way shape or form. like i said, the fans are awesome, and you have one of the best student sections in the country (students are nuts during free throws) but this introduction is not "amazing" or "the best in the country" its simply just cool.

[dlxsfBRUH]

Tell me which one is then. Dook doesn't even play music, this is by far the best. You're just upset.

[JLHoops08]

@dlxsfBRUH Duke isn't upset now are they??

[Ichron]

Far from the best introduction. Nothing special about it at all.

[huntman111111]

nibbles sucks huge cock dude

[TheWakeZone]

nibbles, SHUT UP im sorry

[nibbles1199]

I mean the student section there is great and really fun to watch on TV, but the intro just isnt that special. Welcmoe to the jungle.......so over used.

[nibbles1199]

I dont get it......why is this so cool????Turn the lights off, play loud music, and sway back and forth to copy the team????? I was expecting something way more exciting than this for supposedly being "the best entrance in college basketball".

Whatever I guess. I couldnt agree more about how dumb the fans are for rushing the court. You are breaking every court rushing rule ever made. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

[BigHippiePat]

Why don't you guys stop being fuckin killjoys? It's a kickass intro and a greta win for WF. They beatr thje #1 team in the natuion at the buzzer so their fans have every right to rush the court.

[deaconfan94]

Wake Forest is amazing

[TheWakeZone]

The Students look BALLER in the stands. SICKEST INTRO EVER! WOW better than any other schools in the country.. badASS

[TheWakeZone]

WAKE FOEST... IS.. THE most BALLER team EVER! Americas favorite they should be... buhbye UNC, Duke and everyone else WAKE FOREST!!!

[goblue5kk]

Wake Forest was dumb as hell for rushing the court...I mean they just got upset last week AS the #1 team in the nation. Their fans are dumb as hell for that and I'm not even a duke fan.

GO BLUE

[BigHippiePat]

They won at the buzzer and they beat the number 1 team in the nation. Didn't you guys bea VA Tech at the buzzer 3years ago and do the same thing?

[dlxsfBRUH]

Are you upset for being dominated? LOL.

[rytagg]

that was Dino the dinosaur from the flinstones. Wake's coach is named Dino so thats why hes there

[dano110569]

Gotcha.  Thanks.

[dano110569]

Okay, I was okay until the end.  Was that Barney???

[FSUNolez06]

That was Dino (from The Flintstones). Wake Forest Head Basketball Coach is named Dino Gaudio. Get it?

[dano110569]

Got it. Thanks.

[jake31214]

that was badass, until the motorcycle and guns and roses showed up.

[sdevans11]

That would be awsome if the Orlando Predators hadn't been doing the exact same thing before every home game for the last 10 years!

[mfblaha]

your retarded...... the whole point is this is for college

[MassXXX7272]

They Finally showed this on tv!! fuckin sickkkk

[alternapop]

this is crap and is part of why i don't watch most pro sports.

"best entrance in college basketball"... whoopie

[dawkins0121]

Wow u must have a pretty fun life. This is the kind of stuff that makes sports great.

[dlxsfBRUH]

1. This isn't pro.

2. You obviously watched it if you know both of the teams, and typed it in on Youtube.

[wakeforest9669]

Haha this is college not pro.

[alternapop]

i never said "this is pro".... i said it's why i don't watch pro. stay in school and work on reading comprehension. this crap doesn't belong in college sports. this it what teams with not a lot of tradition and history do to generate excitement.

[dlxsfBRUH]

Does it really matter? What are you, 50 years old? It's fun, get over it.

[wakeforest9669]

Haha ok dumb fuck. How does wake not have a winning tradition? Ya we dont have some like carolina and duke but still u dumb fuck get off wakes ass u homo bitch.

[BigHippiePat]

Yes it does. It adds to the atmosphere

[TangWFU]

Correct me if I am wrong but I don't remember a recent time in the past when ESPN has shown an entire team's opening video and introductions. GREAT coverage! Entrance is exemplified on TV.

[dotnetwfu]

what a great entrance.  props to ESPN for covering it.

[ryryryccc]

That is cool...many people complain about the commercialism of college athletics but I always think of the rest of the student body at these schools, kids who are working hard and often amassing huge bills to earn degrees; they take pride in this stuff and sports supports so many things at the universities including all the non-revenue generating sports like track and field. BTW I thought WF was gonna blow that lead; also BTW I can't help but think the big WF at center court stands for WTF

[finishlinevision]

This will get you ready to play.

[kbrowd]

Thank you ESPN for sharing THE BEST ENTRANCE IN COLLEGE BASKETBALL with the rest of the World.

[brandonblalock66]

Best entrance in college basketball.

[smallbigtall]

unreal.  never seen that on live TV before.

[SamuraiFoochs]

4 words.

Duck Fuke, GO DEACS!

[uncfan345]

By far the best college basketball entrance
