Another IU Video To Be Proud Of

Holy....uh... is this what I think it is? A remix version of the IU fight song? Why? Why would you think it's okay to do this to your alma mater? I'm surprised this wasn't sent to us by someone along the way (was put on YouTube in September)...and if it was, my apologies for missing it.



So anyway, it's yet another truly pathetic video, this one featuring a couple of white Usher wannabes singing (if you can call it that) the IU fight song. And then, of course, there's the obligatory shot at Purdue girls... while celebrating how easy IU girls are. Oh, but it's not just a shot at Purdue girls... at 1:57 they state that "Purdue girls all got d-cks."

Okay then.

You know, we say slightly off-color things sometimes, but if you're an IU fan or alum and this video doesn't absolutely disgust and embarrass you, then you're just as classless and ignorant as the losers who made this video. I also think if someone made a video trumpeting how awesome Purdue is (and filmed on Purdue's campus) and in the middle of it made a comment that crass, I'm pretty sure Purdue would ask them to cease and desist. You know why? Because no Boilermaker wants to be associated with being a low-class, piece of trash. 

My co-editor here is married to a Purdue girl. I dare you to say this to his face.

But be proud, IUers! These guys are representing the school you went to! Or, for most of you, the school you cheer for but never attended a class at.

Wow...that is horrible. I think my ears are bleeding.

if you didn't notice, it's the same two who did the other video.

chevys10 said...

yeah it is the same guys...and I think some of the girls are the same ones too.

The worst part is, I have "friends" on facebook posting this with their status, talking about how awesome it is.

The funny thing is, IU fans defend crap like this by saying how "die hard" their fans are and that Purdue fans would never go to such effort to show "pride" in their school. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit....

oh.. oh, dear...

I challenge any of you to actually make it through a MA 262 problem while breaking your ears listening to that garbage... I couldn't.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Very fitting word verification: ifyhell. As in, ifyhell is as bad as this, you could turn the baddest criminal into a saint if you showed them this video.

In regards to fans backing it, I've heard that they've been published in the IU newspaper.

I like the concept behind it, remixing and using the fight song as a background/chorus, but when I was watching/ listening it felt like they could have been talking about any college in the nation (other than the mention of some IU keynotes-ie Little 5, the banners etc.). Plus the arrogance... it it, places such rage in me

remember when Purdue sucked and there was no one going to their games so they had to give away free tickets...

and remember how bad IU has been the last 3 years and they have still had some of the best attendance numbers in the Nation...

that is the difference between Die Hard and Bandwagon.

Cato said...

Um, no, I don't remember when Purdue was giving away tickets. I was there when the highlights were Willie Dean and Brent Buscher, and we were still paying for tickets.

Don't let the facts get in the way of a good story though.

Also, that many people paying to see a sub-par product is a sign of lesser intelligence. For reference, see Dame, Notre (football)

So this is how computers get a virus...

Thank you, Cato, for saying that. IU'ers love to make up "facts" that can easily be refuted. They never get tired of that, either.

More to the point, what does that have to do with this reprehensible video?
