That's right, fans. It appears from reports in the Lincoln Journal Star and Omaha World Herald (at least I've heard it's in the Herald) that the Tunnel Walk and music that have ushered in the world's greatest football team since 1994 are being revamped a little. Before you freak out, I assure you that the song you're used to, The Alan Parsons Project's "Sirius," will still be a part of it.
But the HuskerVision crew has recruited Cornhusking DJ "Mikey Bo" to lay down a fresh set of high plains beats. This video is a rough cut, using last year's footage. The music is speculative, it probably won't sound exactly like this, but it ought to give you a taste:
I have to say, not bad. Who would've thought they could change that glorious 2-minutes of 13-year-old tradition and not make it completely suck. My personal choice would have been to use Possum Kingdom by The Toadies, but that's only because I'm obsessed with that song from playing Guitar Hero II.
But all that really matters is that Husker Football starts tomorrow! Not even the use of O-Town's Liquid Dreams could taint this excitement.
Now, to release the hounds. Comment below and let the Just Above Kansas nation know what you think.
cheers.

I have to say I liked the remix. I also like how they seem to be moving away from computer generated animations of flying helmets and falling trophies.
So I was at the Iowa State game last night (unfortunately) and the Cyclones decided to change their Tunnel Walk music as well... and they changes it to "Sirius".
Nobody understood why I was upset, but they stole the song from Nebraska, lame. And it served the Cyclones well, losing 23-14 to Kent State, hah.
As far as the new Husker stuff, not bad. It's definately a change, but I think I like it.
I am so totally pumped for the Huskers this year. Thanks for posting the video. I am practically tearing up right now...
I wasn't at the game, but I was tuned into the radio. I was defintely pumped up by just listening to the new music. It sucks that they changed the tradition though...
