Of Bangarangs and Daggers - Episode 15: The Chris Pankonin Interview

If you are loving or hating the music at Nebraska events including football, basketball or volleyball then you can thank Chris Pankonin. Chris also played the major role behind the scenes for video production for both volleyball and baseball games.

He was kind enough to give us his time as he gave us a peek behind the curtain. We talked about how the music is chosen and why timing is so important.

Remember in 2016 when Andy Janovich ripped off that 55-yard touchdown against Wisconsin and then they started playing “Let Me Clear My Throat” and the players started dancing to it and it turned into a big thing?

That was Chris Pankonin.

We talked about No Sit Sunday, which he played a major part in keeping the crowd into the game throughout. He considers No Sit Sunday to be the one of his best days at Nebraska.

I also had to ask about the Tunnel Walk. He gave us some background into how those decisions are made.

Chris tells us about his next job which will be with the Oregon Ducks. Why would you leave his current job with the Nebraska Cornhuskers to go work for Ducks? Well he has a pretty good reason.

Before leaving we chatted about the upcoming basketball season and you can tell we are all pretty excited for what we hope is coming.

To end we did our top five cover songs.

We hope you enjoy this weeks episode and don’t forget to tell your friends about us.
