Pump up the volume: Filling a Husker gameday with music is a massive undertaking | Football



“Then the art comes into just feeding into what the crowd’s already doing, what the crowd’s feeling, anticipating, just being prepared with all that stuff that you gathered.”

In recent years, DJ Kool’s “Let Me Clear My Throat” has found a spot in the rotation when the Huskers have it rolling.

How did that song make it into the rotation? You can thank Rowley.

“I’ll be honest, I can’t remember who we were playing. But we just needed something to hit that was a little bit different,” said Rowley of the game in 2012 or 2013.

Rowley turned to HuskerVision’s Amanda Holzwarth, who was running the Memorial Stadium music at that time, and suggested the song.

“That song hit, and the student section in particular was so into it. And I’m guessing probably half of them had no idea what that song was or had even heard of it. But they were just bouncing to it, and the football players were, too,” Rowley said.

“So it was just the right thing at the right time. That was kind of surprising to see that reaction.”

“Nolia Clap” by UTP has also become a consistent part of the early pregame music the team listens to while warming up, part of a handful of songs chosen by the players that blast through the speakers as the stadium fills up with fans. That song came to Lincoln with Scott Frost after his Central Florida squads used it for the two seasons he was in Orlando.
