Years ago everyone downloaded the Bison tracker mobile app with the flashing green and yellow strobe light, and turned it on during the intro. It used to be really cool looking. After a few years, people quit doing it and now it's mediocre. That's because some of the new NDSU apps removed it.

The Bison Tracker app (ProudCrowd) has the the strobe but if you don't download it or can't find it, just turn your flashlight on or if your super lazy, just turn your screen on to face the field.

Here is a link to the app for the google play store

I can't seem to find the apple one... so just turn your flashlight on

1) Bison Tracker App
2) Flashlight on phone
3) Face your screen out
4) Lighter

I’ll get shit for this, but Thunderstruck is worn out. I wish they would switch it out with something else. Exactly what, I’m still thinking about that.

Of course you will get grief for this, but thats why you say it because you want to get grief for it. NDSU has bought and paid for Thunderstruck, doubt it will ever change. MORE THUNDERSTRUCK...

DROWN IT OUT THEN!!!!!!! Due to work and family obligations, I haven't been to a game since the South Dakota game. Let's get to Saturday already. I know our team is ready. Let's go ;)

This could be your best idea since you thought we should stop recruiting Florida or when you wanted BV members to paint Dakota field. Strobe out!

:rofl: I said if we get most of our players from Florida while ignoring the traditional footprint it's a bad idea for retention.. but now I'm on the Georgia Bandwagon

They had an intro without Thunderstruck years ago....and the response did not go over well. It aint going anywhere. Thunderstruck is linked to NDSU football. It is the first song that I, and most others play first in the tailgate lot. Its the song you play on your car on a road game road trip. Its the song you hear in the bars around Fargo on gameday to Frisco in January. Embrace it!!

I think part of the strobe fatigue is all the changing of the apps. Old people don't adjust well to technology changes and young people get tired of retraining them. When it was new there was enough excitement about using it that everyone got it an figured out how to use it. Over the years the app has changed so many times and the newness has wore off.

http://www.bisonville.com/forum/showthread.php?40372-Retire-thunderstruck-Play-quot-thunder-quot&highlight=intro+song+thunderThunder by imagine dragons is possibly the worst song since Friday by Rebecca Black...and maybe even worse. Hell, Rollin by Limp Bizkit is a better choice than "Thunder" and that song is garbage as well.

Are you on something hard? if you think that is a good song much less a good intro song do yourself a favor and go deaf.

Imagine Dragons is a band for people who think Justin Bieber rocks too hard.

They've kept refining the intro and it's one of the best in all of college football IMO. I like it.

Still, it's been a long time and it's gotten to be routine. The crowd does not respond like they used to. I wouldn't mind seeing them try something different once in a while.

Like having ACDC play it live while being lowered from the rafters on a stage shaped like the Bison logo?

I thought Thunderstruck Makers was on this???

I can’t comprehend all this “fatigue”

Thunderstruck...the countdown...the doors...the tunnel walk...the helmet run out...it’s iconic to Bison football. Just like all the other kick ass pregame intros around the country, ours is f*cking incredible and its a major factor of our entire game day experience.

And I will say, having run out of that helmet for 4 years...it NEVER gets old. Even when we were real bad and attendance was not near capacity...it’s something That still makes me tear up when I watch it.

You guys really don’t realize how special it is.

Not bad but nothing near the one I posted above.

A couple others to get you in the mood:
1) From the Richmond semifinal in 2015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAEAbQFnNgQ
2) 2017 preseason video made by Bisonville's own Strategery (especially fitting given the Star Wars hype right now): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2VkkYw4jfA

I never did get into the strobe light. The good hype videos and the championship season dvd "movies" I miss though.

Who was the media guy that left just before it all died out? Wasn't Dudzik involved with a lot of the good ones through work study or an internship?

Kasey Byers was the man when it came to these videos... he left around summer 2014 I believe. He's now the video director for Oregon State athletics.

This is game of the year to go to Frisco on ABC and the team deserves a little more juice from the fans. The Bison fatigue ends this week. It's sold out, literally every seat, with only standing room left. Great opponent so let's take it up a notch and send them out with a bang
