So you don't like Lee Greenwood, but "Quilting party" is ok? The trash can is big enough to fit Lee Greenwood, Quilting Party and Sweet Caroline.

Quilting Party is actually a Jax State tradition going back to (at least) 1968. The band plays it; the Ballerinas dance to it. The arrangement is by legendary JSU band director Dr. David L. Walters. Neither Lee Greenwood nor Neil Diamond has any association with Jacksonville State. They're just recordings played over the P.A. The songs are the same ones played on the radio 40 and 54 years ago (respectively). They were not re-recorded specially for the Gamecocks. They're just songs from the radio. Some old guy's mix tape. There's a fine line between tradition and something you do only because you did it in the past. But they are not the same.

And maybe it's just that I'm not quite a big of a band nerd (and I say that with the utmost respect) but I think Quilting Party has been played out. I haven't been to a game in 2 years because I moved 6 hours away so I can't say for sure, but I bet we're still doing the same pregame intro that we've done for 20+(?) years. I just think it's time for a change... on several things.

Quilting Party stays or we riot! But please change the "Welcome Home, Gamecocks" video. It's been the same video for 13 years. Blanchard is the youngest guy on it and he's in his 30s now.

I'm all in favor of getting rid of those other two songs, but I think we should stand and remove our hats for any playing of Quilting Party.

I like it but they should absolutely remake it. Higher resolution, better aspect ratio, take out the 'new Burgess-Snow' part, and add some updated clips, but keeps the "Welcome Home, Gamecocks" ending.

Folks seem to like it and respond to it. I think it's cool it caught on.

We can also add Sweet Home Alabama by Skynyrd and heaven forbid Cotton Eye Joe if it’s still played. As much as I love Southern Rock and Classic Rock it all just comes across as dated now. Now get off my lawn!!!

You go tell Mrs Walters we're getting rid of Quilting Party.
