Dixie Flourish

[GTBeeKeeper]

For those who dont know, here it is (At 23 seconds):



Its the sound that you hear the horn make in Dukes of Hazzard:

Well, Up with the white and gold isn’t the fight song.

Wat?

 

[1982Jacket]

Dixie Flourish is fine, but I preferred her sister, Dixie Normous.

 

[Diseqc]

Wat?

Not sure when they even started the "Dixie Flourish." I went to every home game for four years and traveled back to Atlanta for some homecoming and other games after that, and I only remember even noticing it many years after I left. It was cute, but not a big deal. Still, if it was removed for "wokeness" then IMO that sucks.

Anyway, as long as the band still plays "The Horse," and still plays the Budweiser theme between the 3rd and 4th quarters, then all is well.

Nope. It was there all the way up through 2015.

I'm pretty sure it was there more recent than that. I was thinking it was like 2017 or 2018 when they decided to remove it.

EDIT: I think it was last year that they removed it. I knew I remembered it being discussed here already:

Other than the game...

Let’s talk about the rest of the gameday experience, not withstanding losing to an unaccountably arrogant mid-major... I sat in Upper East (224U) for the first time in like 33 years. Not bad. Not good enough to make me move up from the back of lower east, though. The distancing felt pretty...

Can we still sing, "To Hell, To Hell, To Hell With Georgia . . . the Cesspool of the South?"

If so, then WGAF?

 

[1982Jacket]

Isn't that like half the threads on the Stingtalk?? The other half being threads drawing attention to something you do like.

I'd say it's more like 80/20.


ANYWAY, if you're noticing the one second of Dixie Flourish, then you're clearly not drinking nearly enough.

So now I guess we have to argue about the definition of “the”.

it’s still not the fight song.

Thank you, Bill Clinton.

Which one gets played first after a touchdown?

 

[FullMetalBuzz]

Why are you getting angry about his anger? What does it matter to you?

Actually empty stadiums are what make me angry. OP should buy tickets and go to the games so he find out for himself if the flourish is there.

Once he knows for sure, he can rant all over the interwebs for all I care

The less important one

 

[RussianOffense]

Good riddance

 

[coit]

In your opinion.

 

[supersenior]

Imagine caring about like four notes in a song lmao

So we got 2 fight songs, 2 mascots (Rambin' Wreck, Yellow Jackets), 3 logos (GT, ATL, 404), and a clown for a coach. Pretty much sums up the season for a Georgia Tech fan.

If you don't care it is probably because you are a white supremacist.

Yellow Jackets isn't a "mascot." Buzz is. And we have The Wreck.

Yellow Jackets is a nickname, like Ramblin' Wreck and . . . used to be more common . . . The Engineers.

Now if you REALLY want to start a fight, ask someone whether we have three colors, or just the usual two?
