I really miss this

I was on the second row of the student section and I'm getting chill bumps just watching this!

BRING THIS BACK DEACS!!!!! It’s HERE!!!!

i was there for this...as badass as it is on tv there is NOTHING like being in the stadium and swaying with the entire student body and getting pumped up like this...btw what followed this intro was AMAZING!! GO DEACS!!

Omg that place was rockin the loudest i have ever heard it

This is so fucking awesome !

Big game against Duke today… had to revisit this

i have goosebumps watching this video i say that wake forest is one of the loudest venues in college basketball

You are too. This was pretty awesome live and it came off good on tv also.

Yes it does. It adds to the atmosphere

Thank you ESPN for sharing THE BEST ENTRANCE IN COLLEGE BASKETBALL with the rest of the World.

Remember that game well. Beating Duke is always fun!

The staduim isnt small at all it holds around 15000 people.

Absolutely unbelievable intro. There is no college arena that does intros like the deacs.

I was Dino, the mascot, this game (and the UNC game).

Bring back tie die nation Go Deacs!

This will get you ready to play.

thanks

thank you bpswim

That is BAD ASS!

@4xguru But Welcome to the Jungle is what's actually playing in the Coliseum.

that was Dino the dinosaur from the flinstones. Wake's coach is named Dino so thats why hes there

Got it. Thanks.

it's called "Unstoppable" by E.S. Posthumus

That was Dino (from The Flintstones). Wake Forest Head Basketball Coach is named Dino Gaudio. Get it?

Gotcha. Thanks.

@4xguru yeah that sucked man. We needed that one. Hope we can get back to our winning ways.

this shit like VT in football!

you must think i'm stupid. i'm talking about the opening percussion sequence, right before the DEACON comes out on the bike to guns n roses. maybe it's completed synthesized by wake or something

seriously, there are no better intros anywhere b/c: 1- Coach K hates it 2- The light at the bottom showing the students is baller 3- best costumes of any student section including tie dye, body paint, etc. 4- The video is baller, but you can't see it there. better than anywhere. 5- The entire student body joining arm in arm is awesome 6- The tie dye is just unbeatable 7- Music may not be original, but everybody took zombie nation from us, so you can suck that argument anyway.

@adidashba damn right my friend. I just wish that we would get on the ball. We should have won the last 4 games.

Damn right!! Plus, if I'm not mistaken it's the only college intro ever to be televised...Why? Cause it's the shit!

Why don't you guys stop being fuckin killjoys? It's a kickass intro and a greta win for WF. They beatr thje #1 team in the natuion at the buzzer so their fans have every right to rush the court.

I just remember that I spilled my bourbon drink as soon as I made it, then I put the rest of my flask in another drink and spilled that one

Soon ™️

The beginning was great, the connection b/w the team and the student section and the accompanying music. Then got a little played with the mascot on the motorcycle coming out to Welcome to the Jungle. I'd just go ahead and delete that part of the intro, keep the mascot over with the cheerleaders or the band.

@4xguru Wake Forest has been using Welcome to the Jungle since the days of Tim Duncan. Absolutely Not my friend...aboslutely not.

That is cool...many people complain about the commercialism of college athletics but I always think of the rest of the student body at these schools, kids who are working hard and often amassing huge bills to earn degrees; they take pride in this stuff and sports supports so many things at the universities including all the non-revenue generating sports like track and field. BTW I thought WF was gonna blow that lead; also BTW I can't help but think the big WF at center court stands for WTF

Depends on what you mean by "own." I think that psu has certainly received the most attention for zombie nation, but that's just b/c they are a big school and therefore a big media following. Wake owns is it if you are talking originality. Marquette apparently claims it as well, but I know for a fact that we got it through german soccer and our soccer team used it, then our bball team. zombie nation chronology at wfu for you right there.

I agree 1-7!

what is the opening song to this?

welcome to the jungle guns n roses

The devils better be glad that they don't have to come to winston where we would take the acc crown from them the one year they were hands down favorite to win it.

@dlxsfBRUH Duke isn't upset now are they??

They won at the buzzer and they beat the number 1 team in the nation. Didn't you guys bea VA Tech at the buzzer 3years ago and do the same thing?

When I watch a game between Dook and Wake Forrest, I find myself hoping they both lose.

Okay, I was okay until the end. Was that Barney???

gotta love haters

That would be awsome if the Orlando Predators hadn't been doing the exact same thing before every home game for the last 10 years!

I just threw up in my mouth.

i never said "this is pro".... i said it's why i don't watch pro. stay in school and work on reading comprehension. this crap doesn't belong in college sports. this it what teams with not a lot of tradition and history do to generate excitement.

Wake Forest was dumb as hell for rushing the court...I mean they just got upset last week AS the #1 team in the nation. Their fans are dumb as hell for that and I'm not even a duke fan. GO BLUE

WHy do you all have to ruin a Wake Forest video with this bullshit? It's a sport...and it's our favorite team. We're supposed to come on here and support them without having to deal with your bullshit. My pops and my brother are Duke fans , but I don't sit there and talk bad about Duke because I'm a WF fan. In fact I'm not afraid to admit that when it comes to education, Duke is in a class with the Yales, the harvards, & the stanfords but threatening us because of our team. get over it.

Far from the best introduction. Nothing special about it at all.

this is crap and is part of why i don't watch most pro sports. "best entrance in college basketball"... whoopie
