At the end of the third quarter of a home Alabama football game, only one song need be played. That song is “Basketcase”, originally by Green Day, but turned into a beloved stand tune by our own Million Dollar Band.<\/p>\n
The last two games that I’ve gone to have featured “Sweet Home Alabama” over the loudspeakers (and in effect, the band as well). I have nothing against “Sweet Home”…it’s a great song, a great tradition, and a great way to pick the crowd up. But “Basketcase” is now a MDB institution, and I think that the band should be given its right to play it unimpeded by other music. Save “Sweet Home” for the beginning of the game, and maybe some other “pick-me-up” time. But the end of the 3rd’s sacrosanct.<\/p>\n
