ESPN, as usual, gives Virginia Tech's "Enter Sandman" entrance the full treatment. Hokie fans rock Lane Stadium with their classic entrance.
This is why I prefer to watch College over the NFL. It's all about PRIDE!!!
And energy level.much greater passion and energy. I can fall asleep to most NFL games plus the NFL has assclown announcers like Cris Collingsworth and Tony Romo.
STMARTIN009 Tony Romos great
Well that'll keep changing, more and more college players look to get out sooner to get the money.
Then you watch a 50-3 blowout
That and in college they still run the ball, not every rule is designed to favor the passing game, there are occasional break out runs. Yeah me too
Best intro in ALL of college football. No question
Metallica still fills stadiums all over the world. You must be a Limp Bizkit fan!
Son of George Bluth Sr. they started using it in 2000. Metallica was “relevant” then. If you want to take a shot at VT, then get on them about stealing the entrance music used by the Yankees for Mariano Rivera. They started in 1999 and used it for 2 seasons when their All Star closer was coming in from the bullpen.
Metallica will always be relevant. Just ask the greatest closet alive Mariano Rivera.
Clemson: Bitch please Syracuse: Stand back, peasants
@@kabedonovan5555 Metallica is always relevant bitch dont disrespect
I ain't even a Hokie fan, but damn that is the best entrance in college football!
It's better now
Same ..bro how awesome is this...let's goooo
Hearing thousands of millennials recite the chorus to "enter sandman" gives me hope for the future
Actually the last of the millenials graduated college in 2018. The seinors in that crowd are the first class of generation z
@@sominboy2757 can they spell? (don't worry, ive already slapped myself for being such a bitch). Also, what birth years are classed as millennials? Maybe im a millennial..... Altho i learnt to play Enter Sandman when i first picked up an electric guitar (around about 92), i remember getting the 'Metallica' album on tape....... Good times. Hope you guys are all well and good and staying safe.
LoL. For real.
Tons of millennials and Gen Z like myself know and listen to old and new rock and metal so fear not boomer 😁
@@MrMiD.Life.Crisis Millennials are 81-96 they did change that though it used to go to like 04 if I remember correctly
Notre Dame fan who made the trip to Blacksburg. Amazing college town. VT fans were friendly and very welcoming. Lane Stadium is one of the best sporting venues I have ever been too. I still get goosebumps watching this. Glad I made the trip! Go Irish!
Nathan Powelson yes. I made the trip too. Very friendly people
You're nice and your team is good. Good luck to you both.
Just never go see the Eagles , worst fans alive.
VT fan here who was in a section with ND fans. Glad you guys could make it. It was a ton of fun. Good luck on the rest of your season.
I have a brother who goes to Notre Dame but my parents are VT so we have season tickets to VT and it was one of the coolest things ever.
This gives me chills
Why? ND blew them out.
While I love the atmosphere I think the words in the tunnel put it over the top for me.
I was there. It was my first visit to the stadium and I was blown away. #GoIrish
But y'all lost buy a million
@@wahoowa7777 playoff team verse freshmen. Yeah. Lane Stadium on game day has never lost Get your shit together brotha. We don’t pay for players either
People dissing vtech need to stop. This is one of the best intros in college football regardless if they win or lose its awesome
Not one of the best, but the best!
sgzartan word! 😎🤘
They won when they came in.
Lifelong ND fan but even I can admit, this is the best entrance in college football, hands down. Goosebumps every single time
Agree!
UCF fan here...I saw it, easily the best college football entrance ive ever seen...
Motivated the Irish to hang 50 on them lol
laughable
@@BBAKER22 not at all but ok lmao.....
Reason No 1 why US College football is 100x better than the NFL.
As a Florida State fan and a hardcore Metallica lover, I envy Virginia Tech so much because, in my opinion, this is legitimately the coolest entrance in all of college football!!!!
As a Hurricane fan, i think Chief Osceola coming out on the horse and Seminole chat at the Doak, is the best. However' VT Sandman is very cool, and looks fun.
I am from Romania, I didn't even know these such things exist =))
To bad the exit happens 5 minutes after kick off.
@@BBAKER22 agree I like entrance of sweet home alabama and all thost title flags flying around stadium. not to mention the guys in crimson coming on the field, knowing 95% or more of the time they are going to win. Entrance of champions BABY
When it comes to entrance music, they definitely got the first round pick
I as a European Football or "Soccer" fan, think this is the best sports entrance from all across the world and of all sports. That's why I've supported VT since 2014 when I was 13.
When the entrance is more exciting than the actual game
I miss sports :(
As an Oregon State fan who lives in VA because of the Navy I was able to go to last years clemson game and this game. Lane Stadium is truly the most hype stadium I’ve been to ever. And I literally just went to Happy Valley for the Penn State vs Ohio State game last week so that’s saying something
techsideline is there a way you could reupload it so the volume isn’t so low
Back when life was fun!
you know that engineer that designed the stadium seating is shitting him/herself watching this each time.
The shot of the coach walking his team through the tunnel like they are about to go to war is so badass!
More like going to slaughter, when was last time they were actually any good?
@@RT22-pb2pptrue 😂, still looked pretty cool though
Been since 2016
Ok. I'm from England and while I follow the NFL (Go Packers!) I know nothing about college football. I've just watched this and I must say that having the team run on to Enter Sandman is one of the most completely brilliant things I've seen and I am now a VT fan. Go Hokies!
Chris C don’t do that to ur self
@@catfishyt9925 Lol, is there something I should know? Just seen Wisconsin plays Jump Around by House of Pain. That's pretty cool too.
Chris C just Virginia tech is just not that good and they disappoint but they’re honestly not that bad compared other programs
Chris C good for u tho getting into football from Europe it’s nice to see ppl over the world embrace it
@@catfishyt9925 Thanks man.
The Best entrance in the country!!!!
And that’s not even a debate.
Imagine if one day the team was in national championship consideration. Or top 10 for that matter. Lol
It’s coming
I’ve been a College Football fan for 50 years and I’m just now hearing about the Hokies Enter Sandman??? Wtf ? I love this.
Weve obly been doing it for 20 and it's only been huge for like 10 years
They really should make a point to always get the visiting team out on the field first, before the song starts... Just so they have to witness the crowd amp up and seeing VT storm the field to Enter the Sandman
I’m a Vols fan but holy shit Virginia Techs Enter Sandman entrance gives me absolute goosebumps
Power T is awsome but the Hokies got it going on and I'm a Tennessee boy, orange runs thru my veins.
I love how Virginia Tech also honors their ROTC cadets.
Played there in 2000 with the University of Akron. When I heard that intro I got a little intimated and hype at the same time, it was a cool experience. We lost 53-23 but we put up over 500 yards of offense up that day.
didnt ask.
Nice think the reason you put 500 yards on us is we prolly had our starters in
@@raptorz139 your starters were in the game the whole time.
taltezy29 oh my bad glad you got to experience the craziest fans in college football I meant to put backups not starters in my first comment
The feeling coming out of that tunnel must be incredible.. The highlight of most of their lives I would imagine.
College football fans blow away nfl fans any day
I only wish that college football had more parody
@@evanatwood3452 Parity?
@@TheSBleeder my bad that’s what I meant
just great to see a packed stadium ~ people shoulder to shoulder ~ who knows when we'll ever see that again. #Covid19
in 2021
Should've never stopped. Just don't let Grandpa go to the game 🤣
WE'RE BACK BABY
That walk to the stadium and then Enter Sandman...just epic.
I'm from Australia and have only a limited knowledge of the NFL but would love to be in a stadium like that ... the atmosphere must be out of this world ... adding it to my American bucket list.
This is college football. It's a great experience.
@@ryanjackson846 👍
Love to have you. Go Hokies
@SSG Sscorch Will definitely do this on my next trip to the US. Thanks for that.
Im a lifelong Bama fan but let me tell yall something ... VTech this is lit! Good luck to yall this year. Love this entrance.
Hokie here, who loves Saban and Bama football thanks for the compliment. Maybe we will see each other in Atlanta again sometime. Have a great season!!!
Hat's off to ESPN for the best coverage of a VT game opening ever! The multiple camera angles, inclusion of Metallica opening (and continuation of the song - finally!) really capture the amazing spirit that's present in the stadium. Awesome!
Nah, the Metallica opening will be replaced with a Caveman attempt of a song... this is due to all the Thug Bait, BLM and Antifa darlings in Virginia. A lot of Thug Bait in that crowd I may say! LOL
LSU fan by heart but watches and shares this every week for motivation! Nothing like it
We are an LSU family too ...Tensas parish roots ...living in Nashville....but this is very fun to watch
This is probably the best pump you up song the way it builds with the opening riff
I'm a lifelong Golden Domer, but I'll admit this this is awesome. Looking forward to seeing Hokie fans in South Bend this fall.
Enter Sandman and Thunderstruck are probably the most iconic songs in the history of music
I was at the game with my parents. I'm a VT alum and my dad is a ND alum. VT had the lead at halftime, but then played a terrible 2nd half and ND won. I was very disappointed, but I was glad to experience the game with my parents. They live in NY and I live in FL, so we don't always see each other. But experiences like this is what you will remember forever.
I’m a Clemson fan and was there for the game last year! Amazing fans! At least 6 people asked me how the drive was and welcomed me!
The stadium, the attendance, the song and its just a college game. Absolutely brilliant! America does college sports right!
The support from Metallica was really cool.
Bradley Haynes with a flag with the state of Tennessee on it in their background
Mo T VFL tour stop in Texas dumbass You got a touch of the Downey boy ?
I am an Irish fan, but this is very impressive. Kudos to VT.
No place on Earth is freedom celebrated like it is in America.
Probably the coolest football opening I've NEVER NEVER seen ! ! !
Stuff like this makes me hate this damn virus. Can’t wait for all this to be over to see scenes like this again.
David Moore it was Donald trump who downplayed the virus and lied you fucking idiot god you republicans can’t see shit in front of your god damn eyes
@David Moore - I'm a Democrat. I say open everything up. Science is now flipping saying Herd immunity might be the best route in order to save the economy. I'm willing to risk my life for a better future for my kids.
@David Moore - Just because I'm a Democrat doesn't mean I just vote blue. I lived in Las Vegas and seen what a democrat has done. I just left Cali (Bay Area - August 4th) to go to Egypt since my wife's visa expired in April & she was stuck there due to Covid 19 (not being able to renew her visa & our immigration route has came to a halt). Not wanting to talk my wife in letting me take our 4 year old daughter back to tUSA, I finally left to come to Egypt. I've been here off & on since 2013 so no big deal. At least we are not forced to wear masks, things are all open and no restrictions unless you're a tourist. I don't want Biden nor Trump but I would rather have Trump bcuz Biden said he would shut down the country if he was elected and the scientists and doctors advised him to do it.
@David Moore By downplaying it, Trump tried to stop flights from china but was called xenophobic by biden and the democratic terrorist organization (DTO). He had to downplay it in order to keep the country open. Again, the DTO demanded that the country be shut down for months on end, with no good reason why, other than to literally ruin the economy under Trump, so they could blame it on Trump. The lemmings that follow/believe the DTO thinks that Trump can control the actions of 300+ million people as if we are some communist country like china. Trump is a realist that knew this would be deadly, but knew it would be much worse being both deadly and ruining the economy. At least he was trying to save the majority of Americans from financial disaster. If the DTO lemmings are concerned about people dying, go protest fast food restaurants.
@@yourface1232 Donald Trump warned the public about this virus starting in January...it was you fucktard Democrats who didn't give a shit about it and allowed it to spread.
Remember watching this game. My Senior year of high school football was 1991. We rocked Sandman before every game. Held hands to "take my hand" then burst off the locker room terrace when the chorus hit.
I'm European, and this is sooooo cool to watch. I would love it to be at a night like that and not even need to know a single player. That atmosphere alone is awesome. Look at that crowd! For a school team!? Our major league doesn't even come close. Great stuff.
This is why college football blows the NFL away! Haven’t watched NFL in a few years and sure don’t miss it. Florida Gator football fan here. This was an awesome video! Come on college football season!
Nailed it William. It's all the traditions of the schools, the packed houses, the rivalries that make college football THE BEST! Bearcat and Midshipmen fan here...good luck to your team in 2022!
But when it comes to playoffs the NFL kills it in ratings only because of how long the nfl playoffs are and the superbowl
Well it may be midnight but im ready to run through a wall. Man what an atmosphere!
Just added to my list of must do Stadiums!! Awesome!! For one Game I will consider this die hard Buckeye a Hokie fan!!
Go Bucks!!!
Watch this around the start of college football season every year. Always get a few tears in my eyes and I am not a Hokie fan
All the decorations, all fireworks, all the preparation, just to get demolished
Ñaaa.. Rookies... 👉🏽... This is how... kzhead.info/sun/Zd6KnaqInp6AbHA/bejne.html
Yet. We're watching this years later. The afterthought game? Not so much
Man I get chills watching this and I've never ever been to a college football game. Never change VT! From Melbourne Australia 🤘
I live in Blacksburg, I've been to VT games....it's electric. You can feel the ground move....
So did I from Canada...it gave me goose bumps!
What an electric entrance, unbelievable. Good game as well.
As much as I can't stand Tech (raised to root for WVU, used to be big rivals) this is the most amazing thing ever
I live in Christiansburg, 15 miles from Lane Stadium. I went to the game as an Irish fan. The people on here bragging and rubbing it in the face of the Hokies for losing are not embracing the totality of the experience of being in the stadium while they Hokies enter are lame. As an experienced college football stadium enthusiast, by far, top 5 experience ever.
Behind both the Loud House ((Carrier Dome)) and whatever they call Clemson's stadium ((I think Death Valley?))
Nightmare AJ Bushey Someone's Yandere yeah no, the Carrier dome isnt even that good, FSU has one of the best entrances as well as atmospheres, and Florida has a even better atmosphere, our entrance is a lot better then the Orange, but y’all can’t compare to the FSU or VT
I'm a Canadian and on my bucket list is to go to a live college football game in the States. I watch it on T.V. and it just looks like a hell of a lot of fun. Great fans!
Come to Vt, if you want fun that’s the place we literally cause a earthquake when enter sandman plays
Go to a Wisconsin Badgers game at Camp Randall and Experience JUMP AROUND its amazing!
xnospace I would go to camp Randell if it wasn’t cold and I thought jump around was mainly in the student section
@@raptorz139 If you go to a game in September or October its not bad and most people in the other sections do the jump around too!
xnospace dang sounds fun, I hope the badges do better next year even tho they lost a lot of good players in the draft
Love this entrance!
It warms my heart that over millions of people still love metalica If I could go for any other collage football team besides Alabama I would definitely choose them
The build-up is insane! Hell YES!! I am a Wisconsin Badger fan BUT THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!
As an LSU fan I can respect this intro...very cool.
I went to University in Canada. If we got 5000 to a game it would be huge. Seeing that sent chills up my spine. Looks amazing. Players must have been so jacked.
lol yeah college sports suck in Canada. I went to U of T, you can feel my pain.
Final score.. Notre Dame: 45 VA Tech: 23
@Micho Rizo You’re right, but anybody would trade it for a win if they’re being honest. As an ND fan, I’m just proud of them for tuning it all out and winning convincingly.
@Micho Rizo It’s actually strange to me how the program post Vince Young and post National Championship just didn’t remain on top. You’d think the university that represents the entire state of Texas wouldn’t struggle the way they have especially with the deep pockets like you said but they have.
@@simonriley8908 I'm also a ND fan, but is going to be super tough going against Clemson and Trevor Lawrence for the ACC championship!
@@samkeepintherockalive Yes, it will be. If we’re gonna win this National Championship we have to beat them in order to beat a team like Alabama. The road was never going to be easy but it’s the only road we have to take. Go Irish!!!
Im not even a Hookie fan and when enter sandman hit i got fired up hahah
Enter Sandman has to be one of the greatest songs ever recorded, no matter what gender you are into it. It works with everything, and it always gives goosebumps.
so females can enjoy it too?
@@mattydouglas3025 yeah whoever the fuck wants to jam out is welcome!
At least they have their opening entrance, because they lost the game 45-23.
Dexter Williams quieted that crowd quickly
I miss sports 😔
I'm curious if the engineers that designed the stadium said to each other "we need to design this to withstand 66000 people jumping up and down at the same time"
No the stadium is long older than enter sandman
I don’t think this will never not give me chills even better in person
This is what makes college sports great. I hope we get to be in that atmosphere again soon. Well done VT!!!
GOD I hate COVID19
What a fantastic entrance. Every time I watch the video, it always gives me goosebumps.
By far the best collage football entrance ever and I'm an Ohio state fan
Best entrance ever. This gets me ready for a new season every time. Would love to see my Tide compete in that environment.
I went to Tech for 2 years before transferring to Bama and Lane was louder than BDS except for when LSU or Auburn came to town
What an awesome tradition! I love it, never heard of it before today.
I was at this game, and as an ND fan, there is no better college football entrance. It was electric..
No better entrance? Lmao..You need to get out more and turn on your TV, because this is NOTHING special, and I went to Tech..Highly overrated, especially when you have a program that has been struggling to win
Don’t come back this fall then when we’re top 25; we can keep this the best without you
That is so cool. I would love to go to a game in the US.
The feeling of the stadium literally shaking from people jumping is honestly quite the experience. If you ever get the chance, you should 100 percent.
I miss this...
I’m a lifelong Ohio State fan, and not only do I miss this, I even miss seeing a full house at Xichigan’s Big House.
@@historyvoice did he ask tho?
I was in high school when this song came out. Everytime I see one of VT videos, it brings chills to my skin remembering our pep assemblies to this song. And it was myself and I friend I have to this day's job, to scream out the...Yaaa-aaa-yaaah! It was the closest I ever came to being a rockstar. This is on my bucket list, to experience this in the flesh. Until then......GO HOKIES!!!!!!
Congratulations Virginia Tech! Most bad ass entrance in sports. Much respect from Oklahoma State University. Go Pokes!!
I would seriously consider going to Virginia tech just to come out to this 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Born 7 miles from ND, currently live 1.5 miles from the ND campus and work at ND.. Seen most of the ND home games since 1977 and I must say that right there was simply BAD ASS!! Morphed any opening ND has been able to produce and that is saying something..
I love American College Football and this is one of the reasons why. Spirit!
Chills. Music is universal, regardless of your geographic location and where the band originates from.
And this is why college football is better than the nfl
Cos of a proxy Metallica song?
Tony Broderick no cause of atmosphere, fan base, hype, pretty much everything NFL lacka
I'm an Irish fan this always gives me goosebumps
Even better in person must see experience
Me and a select few installed all the glass in that stadium with it's new construction in 2007, proud and fortunate to have put my glaziers touch in such a great place, GO HOKIES!
I'm from the UK, so I don't follow American football that much, but it just absolutely amazes me, the attendance, following and atmosphere that college football has. Just madness! I'm hoping to visit the USA in 2024, so I'll definitely try and take in a game at some point.
Go to your local non league football team for a similar atmosphere, saves on hotel costs too
You simply can't get a better intro song than Sandman!!!!!
Alabama is my favorite team in the world, And MetallicA is my favorite band in the world. Wich makes Va Tech my second favorite team lol. #RollTide #GoHokies #MetallicA
If you can't feel this energy I don't know what is wrong with you
I watched this game live. And this was my first time watching a Virginia tech home game. It's such a cool entrance
Best entrance in CFB and it’s not even close. I’ve never particularly like Tech…but this is chills/goosebumps/etc every time.
Going there is on my bucket list
This was my first VT game as a student. Unforgettable.
I saw Body Count open for Metallica at the Oakland Coliseum in Sept 1992, probably the most violent show I ever witnessed...it was on the baseball field where the A's play...50-60 foot wide mosh pits in every direction...grass and dirt thrown everywhere...bloody faces and fights galore...and that was just for Body Count 6)
Greatest times of my life were had at THE GREAT VIRGINIA TECH!! LETS GO HOKIEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃
Hell yeah. Remember that threesome you and I had?
ND came in nice and calm, said a prayer and stomped that ass. Lol
THATS THE WAY ALL GAMES SHOULD START....BUILD UP THE ENERGY...EXCITEMENT......EVEN IF YOU LOSE YOU’LL FORGET THAT MOMENT
Holy shit. One would think that this is the super bowl pregame show. Gotta love young energetic College students.
Ah the good old days when we were a decent team.
