My point is that those kind of entrances are far and away better because of there uniqueness then just simply touching a sign....especially when the sign has lost its entire meaning this decade....when Notre Dame can beat Navy (or for that matter USC) then that sign will mean something again, until then it's just a bunch of kids touching a piece of metal....

Name another team that runs out and touches the banner? If you can, name one that has done it for over 50 years. This is something called tradition. If it is something you grew up in and know the history about it, (like when Ohio State came out before Mich and tore it down) it would pump you up. It is a very important part of Michigan football and is one of the most recognizable things in all of sports.

Michigan's entrance does nothing for me. Your opinion is completely biased.

Team entrances has been on the top of my wishlist since I started playing back with '02! I'm so stoked right now! And seeing that the new expansion to Michigan Stadium looks to be in is a double win today!

Doubt any entrances with animals will be included...EA would have shown at least one of them.

would still like to see real entrances e.g. FSU Osceola and Renegade, VT Enter Sandman, Nebraska Tunnel Walk, etc.....

lol I'm not trashing your banner dude so quit getting so defensive....what I'm saying is it's not a unique entrance that when you see it in the stadium your like "wow that was expletive awesome"....I've been to a night game at Blacksburg with a friend who is a huge Tech fan and you get that feeling. When your in the stands and the intro for Enter Sandman starts and then you feel the entire stadium shaking you say "wow that was expletive awesome", it gets you ready to play football.....banners just don't do that for me imo they belong in high school.

Don't give them ideas.
