One thing is certain; no matter what ESPN chooses for its college football anthem, it will stick in your head for months. You’ll hear it 500 times a day, and it’ll be included in every promotion, snippet, and commercial that airs on the network from August through January.
In the past they graced us with horrible songs for God like “Natural” by Imagine Dragons and “Let Go” by Judah & the Lion. Both are very bad songs, but the Imagine Dragons song might be one of the worst ever written. Maybe worse than “Tubthumping” and “Barbie Girl”.
This year they are going with Juice WRLD (featuring Marshmello) and released this promotional video:
Juice WRLD actually died of a drug overdose in 2019, which is why it says “In Loving Memory” at the end of the music video. At the risk of sounding insensitive, I’ll just say that I don’t understand the contemporary auto-tuned, sung approach to rap. Lil’ Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, Migos etc, it’s pure shit. I guess the kids like it. And hey, maybe they’re watching college football because their guy is doing the theme song this year.
Personally, Bob and I think they should just go back to that and never change it:
