They showed this video at the start of the UK Football Women’s Clinic and also at the unveiling of the new uniforms. When I asked Tee Martin if this was the new pregame intro video, he dodged the answer, praising the video’s originality instead.
Not quite as “in-yo-face!!” as the Falcons video featuring Samuel L. Jackson, after which it was modeled, is it?
Thoughts?

surely not ….. that video & music isn’t gonna get 70,000 fans JACKED UP !!!!!
August 3rd, 2011 at 5:08 pm
Turrible
August 3rd, 2011 at 5:09 pm
Nice video but I hope it’s not the pregame intro… Couldnt see Aretha Franklin getting hype to that
August 3rd, 2011 at 5:12 pm
Another UK Football marketing FAIL
August 3rd, 2011 at 5:13 pm
I was at the clinic and asked Joker about it, he said it would be used as a commercial and possibly during games.
August 3rd, 2011 at 5:13 pm
3. i totally agree.., hope they get some good music to get the fans pumped. CANT WAIT!!!!
August 3rd, 2011 at 5:14 pm
Yeah, I don’t think that’s going to get it done.
August 3rd, 2011 at 5:15 pm
That frickin better not be our intro video. No offense to the lady signing, but this does not get anybody jacked up for football. I can possibly see it being used as a commercial or something like that but no way our intro video.
August 3rd, 2011 at 5:16 pm
Omfg that makes BTI’s posts look good.
August 3rd, 2011 at 5:16 pm
lame
August 3rd, 2011 at 5:19 pm
felt like i was in church
August 3rd, 2011 at 5:20 pm
that video is awful…I just want to fall asleep now
August 3rd, 2011 at 5:22 pm
I really hope they didnt try to copy the Falcon’s video b/c if so then thats a big failure. I can see that Falcon’s video being used as an intro video! That video would get people jacked up. Just picture that same video with “wildcats” instead of “falcons”!
August 3rd, 2011 at 5:31 pm
Once again UK tries and fails to relate with football fans. You could take 75% of the UK fan base and make a better intro than that crap. ATTENTION UK football: fans want music that will make the us feel like we could run through Ray Lewis.
August 3rd, 2011 at 5:32 pm
That is beyond awful. I hope they don’t show that on TV during a game.
August 3rd, 2011 at 5:41 pm
For goodness sakes…this better NOT be the intro…that is flat out terrible. If it is…that just makes me very sad.
August 3rd, 2011 at 5:43 pm
That is a sad sad rendition of the Atlanta video…… They even took out the poetry . I understand not using Sam but not using the rise and fall of a baritone, and not using the poetry . Good try but bad results
August 3rd, 2011 at 5:43 pm
That’s the worst thing i’ve ever seen. Simply turrible.
August 3rd, 2011 at 5:47 pm
#4 EXACTLY! That’s b/c the guy in charge of marketing over there has been there forever and will never move on. That bit was definitely taken from the same page as the Falcons.
August 3rd, 2011 at 5:52 pm
This would be ok if it were Sunday morning and I were sitting in church nursing a hangover from the game the night before.
August 3rd, 2011 at 5:56 pm
“Enter Sandman”, “Highway to Hell”, “Eruption”, “Running With the Devil”, barracuda, black betty, blue collar man, the boys are back in town, crazy train, hair of the dog, rock and roll, tnt,train train, won’t get fooled again, rocky mtn. way, ect…
August 3rd, 2011 at 5:58 pm
Samuel L. Jackson tells Daniel Orton to Rise!!!!
Daniel “I can’t Mother F……er”
August 3rd, 2011 at 5:58 pm
This is really, really pitiful.
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:06 pm
Thats a nice video, but it does NOT get me fired up AT ALL. Please don’t let that be the intro.
22. Thats hilarious!
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:26 pm
That shits terrible.
August 3rd, 2011 at 6:40 pm
Looks like Christian Family Radio made it.
August 3rd, 2011 at 7:28 pm
shut up 26.
You anti- Christian.
August 3rd, 2011 at 7:29 pm
Atlanta didn’t even use that crap as an intro…They had Sevendust write an intro song.
http://youtu.be/qkAsQQJ1mRM
Now that’s going to get some people fired up!
August 3rd, 2011 at 7:36 pm
O I freaking hope not. This is HORRIBLE!
August 3rd, 2011 at 8:10 pm
Dear god this is awful, this will not get anybody pumped for the game. I give it a fail/10
August 3rd, 2011 at 8:23 pm
Cats don’t rise, they pounce.
Wouldn’t it be awesome if they had a video of PawPa Brooks saying, What do wildcats do? Then everybody would say Fight! or Win! or Purrrrr!!
August 3rd, 2011 at 8:39 pm
I LOVE this! <3
I always try to squeeze in a good nap right before kickoff.
August 3rd, 2011 at 8:48 pm
Wow, that’s pretty awful – on the other hand, it’s better than the song Scott Stapp did for the Florida Marlins. http://www.collegehumor.com/video/6036000/scott-stapps-marlins-song
August 3rd, 2011 at 8:50 pm
No wonder we suck at football.
August 3rd, 2011 at 8:56 pm
I would rather our intro be ushers to hand out a Werther’s Original and have Charlton Heston recite PawPaw Brooks’ tweets to the crowd. That would do about the same.
August 3rd, 2011 at 9:03 pm
Remind me not to leave the parking lot until the team is already on the field.
August 3rd, 2011 at 9:08 pm
It will be perfect if you just trade the gospel singers for NWA (RIP Eazy!).
August 3rd, 2011 at 9:09 pm
My God that is the worst thing I’ve ever seen. If they play that on gameday I’m calling for a refund of my season tickets.
August 3rd, 2011 at 9:10 pm
That was the worst idea for UK football ever. Play something up beat when they take the field. UK will be the laughing stock of the SEC!
August 3rd, 2011 at 9:57 pm
Seriously? We go absolutely out of our way to not be current, stylish, or innovative. Our slogan shouldn’t be “Rise” it should be “Yawn” Were as vanilla as Penn St.
August 3rd, 2011 at 9:58 pm
If this is the intro song, I will not attend the games in protest.
August 3rd, 2011 at 10:16 pm
Its funny that Tee Martin praises the originality of the video when all it is is a rip off of the Falcon’s intro.
August 3rd, 2011 at 10:23 pm
This is terrible! Reminds me of the UK Florida game I went to in Lexington a few years back. Felt like I was in church it was so quiet. As a Ky native in Florida, I have to say the game day experience in commonwealth stadium is non-existent! The music was straight out of cmt. Ever been to The Swamp for a big night game? That’s an experience with an awesome intro. Picture gators rising up out of the water with deep bass music. UK should be able to do something similar. I know they go crazy in Gainesville for their intro!
August 3rd, 2011 at 10:29 pm
What a great video to break in Commonwealth’s new videoboards! Another UK failure! Contact Mitch Barnhart and let him know that his marketing/video department has once again dropped the ball. His direct email is mbarn@uky.edu. Time for a change!
August 3rd, 2011 at 10:37 pm
I just turned over in my grave. HELL no!
August 3rd, 2011 at 10:48 pm
That’s the recruiting video that UK plays players moms to get them on board (I hope).
August 3rd, 2011 at 11:19 pm
27. I’m Catholic, douchebag. And it looks like Christian Family Radio made it.
August 3rd, 2011 at 11:33 pm
27. family christian radio is NOT christian they are a cult
August 4th, 2011 at 7:16 am
I don’t get all the animosity, I really don’t. It’s a bewtiful song, a really bewtiful song. It reminds me of Sunday dinners afta mass when my whole family would get together, eat cannoli, and build mavelous cakes. I SAY WHEEAAARE DA CAKES????!! A BEAUTIFUL CAKE WOULD MAKE THIS COMMERCIAL POP AND MAKE EVERYBODY RISE! THAT’S A FACT! CAKES ARE THE #1 PARTY STARTER IN ALL OF THE WORLD. BIRTHDAY PAWTY? CAKE! WEDDING? CAKE! STING CONCERT? CAKE! BA MITZVAH? CAKE! A calm forest with trees and birds and happy bunny rabbits and then a WILDCAT POPS OUT OF THE CAKE GROUND WITH BLOOD AND FLESH ON HIS FANGS AND TEEF! THAT CAKE WOULD MAKE EVERYBODY RISE!
August 4th, 2011 at 7:40 am
Wow! This sucks, and this sucks hard! lmfao
August 4th, 2011 at 8:17 am
Whenever I want to get really jacked up, I ALWAYS go to Church. Knocked this one out of the park UK.
August 4th, 2011 at 8:31 am
I THINK THEY PRETTY MUCH SAID IT…. JUST TURRIBLE. JUST TURRIBLE.
August 4th, 2011 at 8:36 am
I hope not, that will NOT get anyone excited for kickoff.
August 4th, 2011 at 8:43 am
No, just no. Decent video, horrible song, and DEFINITELY not worthy of being the pregame video. Are there any student interns in the UKAA Marketing department, tell them what we need!! This is not it.
August 4th, 2011 at 9:15 am
Top three worst comments in UK athletic History. #1 “Coach Bryant, your services are no longer needed. We are going to take the program in a different direction.” #2 “We don’t pay for moving costs Coach Summitt, you’ll have to take the position at Tennessee, we think they are looking for a coach.” #3 ” Our football program is losing momentum, lets get new uniforms and create a video to get the crowd excited. We’ll call it RISE, and make it a gospel tune. Hell we’ll even get new jumbo trons so we can show it before important SEC games, to get the recruits pumps into signing with us.”
August 4th, 2011 at 9:41 am
KSR should get with UK and sponsor a contest to create a video for pre-game!
August 4th, 2011 at 9:41 am
Best song for UK to use to rise up and move up in the sec? Us against the world? “I’m gonna pick the world up and drop it on its F’n head! … lil Wayne would need some editing though…
August 4th, 2011 at 10:49 am
that would be the worst pre-game video in the history of pre-game videos. I wasn’t the least bit excited watching it, and I can’t imagine that’s what will get Commonwealth rocking right before kick-off. Show me some big hits, Randall Cobb working his magic, etc…set to something with a beat!
August 4th, 2011 at 10:54 am
We LOVE this song, it compliments our music so well! We’ve been working all summer on “Amazing Grace” to get the crowd pumped up, this is gonna be a great season. Can’t wait to debut it right before the team comes out. Seriously, this is going to be the best year ever, we have 2 new midgets and 3 new flag boys this year! Look out Best Damn Band in the Land, here we come!
August 4th, 2011 at 12:04 pm
if that’s the intro video count me out
August 4th, 2011 at 12:24 pm
WOW! this better be a joke…the worst video I have ever seen…somebody needs to ask UKCATS8FAN to make one….hes the best I have ever seen but this is terrible, makes me wanna kill myself…SMH
August 4th, 2011 at 12:26 pm
#21. We would like to thank you for your suggestions, however, we have already confirmed the list of songs that will be played during the 2011-2012 season. They include: Somewhere Over the Rainbow, Tiptoe Through the Tulips, A Whole New World from Aladdin, and the soundtrack to Snow White.
August 4th, 2011 at 12:37 pm
you serious! this better be a joke…the worst video I have ever seen…somebody needs to ask UKCATS8FAN to make one….hes the best I have ever seen but this is terrible, makes me wanna kill myself…SMH
August 4th, 2011 at 12:50 pm
The only people pumped up about that video are the ones singing in it… JOKE.
August 4th, 2011 at 1:04 pm
Not a big fan of that. I’m with #21, how about something that builds to something big, like this:

Do you have anything for men?

August 4th, 2011 at 10:22 pm
This is a butchered version of a very fine Gospel song written in 1992 by Paul Marsena. Not only are the words of the song taken out of context, they are changed. The original song is about Resurrection morning, and means I’m going to rise (i.e. be resurrected) when the Son (Jesus) comes down (i.e. second coming). In this version, it means I’m going to rise (i.e. get up early in the morning) when the sun comes up (i.e. at dawn)–a totally different meaning than what the songwriter actually is saying. When you mix religion and sports this way, you end up with a mess. Poor Paul Marsena must be saying, “Look what they’ve done to my song, Ma!”
