When it comes to college football entrances, ones that come to mind are Virginia Tech's "Enter Sandman", Michigan's "Banner Jump", or even Notre Dame's "Play like a Champion" sign, among others around the landscape. However, while all of those come to mind, there is one that stands above the rest. From the 2001 entrance music to the mechanized train to the loudest rave in college football, nothing beats South Carolina Gamecock football.
It starts with the buildup of Richard Strauss' “Also Sprach Zarathustra", now dubbed 2001 based on 2001: A Space Odyssey. Then, when the crescendo of the music hits that distinct tone, the smoke pops at the “Tommy Suggs 2001 Gamecock Football Entrance”, and the team runs onto the field.
