The Gaming Tailgate wrote a quick blog on this (Here) and provided a lot of great examples of major songs to put in the games. They said there are 220 slots you can fill to use for certain events, first downs, entrances, touchdowns, etc.

With that said, would anyone want to compile a list of sounds/songs to use for their respective school(s), and then share them with the group to set up on our own systems? It may lend itself to add to the immersion of the user games when we're visiting Hippo in the Big House or Nebraska or Ohio State and our marching bands are belting out parts of "Malaguena."

Other classic examples:
"Imperial March" by John Williams - Also known as 'Darth Vader's Theme' from Star Wars, this John Williams classic is played either over the PA or by the Marching Band, commonly as the Defense takes field after Kick Return.

"Hey! Baby" - This 1962 Bruce Chanel hit is played by numerous marching bands across the country, typically at the Start of the 4th Quarter. (Indiana, Iowa State, LSU, Nebraska, North Texas, Penn State, South Carolina)

"Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey - This 1981 hit underwent a resurgence in the 2000s after being used in numerous television shows. It is typically popular with the student section as co-eds sing along. (Alabama, Iowa, Iowa State, Michigan, Syracuse)

(This rocked Drake students on our magical run in basketball in 2008) "Kernkraft 400" by Zombie Nation (Safety, Timeout Visitor, TFL/Sack, Defensive Stop on 3rd Down, Defensive Stop on 4th Down, FG Miss by Opponent): Often incorrectly identified by the name of the band, this is a popular song across all sports and venues around the world. Penn State plays this song quite often with the student section chanting along.

- Ohio State - "Hang on Sloopy" by TBDBITL: "Hang On Sloopy" by The McCoys reached #1 on the US charts back in 1965, leading a member of the Ohio State marching band to beg their band director to let them play the song. After hearing the positive crowd reaction, "Hang On Sloopy" has been played at every game since and is the official rock song of the state of Ohio.


I was thinking about ripping live recordings as mp3s from YouTube and using the generated crowd noise along with the EA crowd noise to see how it mashes up. This could be awesome, or a complete waste of time and effort. I can't wait to find out.

If I was good at all with tech stuff I'd make silly shit anyway, so its prolly best I dont, dunno if you guys would want to have 3rd down in the Big House and hear fart noises.

There is a good database of custom sounds over on OS. I definitely plan on using this. I used custom sounds for the first time during '11 and it definitely adds to the immersion

Awesome, I think this will take NCAA 12 to the next level for me. A Gaming Tailgate poster already created their Nebraska intro, might have to give it a shot...

An Operation Sports poster linked to NCAA Stadium Sounds.com and while the site is a bit outdated, it still offers a ton of easy to download clips. I just rolled through the B1G teams. I'm about to start looking into the other teams that this league has signed up to use to make those user/user games even more epic.

the oregon state section suuuuuuuuuuuuucks. i just want the CHAINSAW SOUND EFFECT on 3rd downs

i've got 45 sound clips set up
but the volume is f'ed up and wayyyy louder than the rest of the game. I really don't want to take the time and try to level the sound.
