Never in my life have I wanted a pair of headphones so much... :-[
-
OMG.... YESSSSS!!!!! POWER TOWEL!!! :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
:rolleyes:
-
That chant is pretty ku.
:ku:
-
I am so embarrased right now. God I hate the K-State athletics department.
-
:blank:
Kind of a gay song if you ask me. I suppose the "K, State" thing could get the stadium pretty loud. The hum? Meh. The question is, what does this replace, and when / how often will it be repeated?
The towels are better than the purple pom-poms. Which isn't saying a lot.
-
Some of us have been waiting for this for years....
(you know who you are if you remember this.)

I think it would be really cool if we huddled around in this thread and bashed the idea.
:rolleyes:

That Rally Towel isn't nearly as cool as my McGrowl Towel.
-
That Rally Towel isn't nearly as cool as my McGrowl Towel.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
-
Which one did they give out before the ISU game in '93 (espn, cold night) ?
-
Come on. I remember thinking those things were really cool at the 97 Fiesta Bowl pep rally.
The fact that I was twelve had absolutely nothing to do with it.
-
That Rally Towel isn't nearly as cool as my McGrowl Towel.
McGrowl is the older version and unfortunatly mine is lost for the ages. The rally towel was a late 90s version, sans the corporate sponsorship.
I'm okay with it. The video is pretty cheesy, but I can see this being pretty cool if fans get into it.
-
oh man...well, i guess it's clear either they've adopted the CATLAB 2000 approach or they've hired Chum to do their videos.
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Excellent stuff!
I could watch Willie play guitar all day! :lol:
-
why don't we do those loud sticks, at least they make noise (but are dumb, but loud)
-
I'd love to hear Prince telling everyone to bring their "McGrooowwwl Towels" to the game.

As long as they don't play the video once the crowd knows the song it could be ok.
-

Think those may be against Big XII competitive rules (artificial noise makers and such). Other places use them though.
-
Holy gay. If they play that video on the jumbotron at a game, I'm going to puke all over myself.
-
You know you're going to see it. They didn't make that just to put it on passport.

We are...Gay State!!!

I thought the athletic department's creativity was being held back by Snyder and his conservative/dull nature, but now I see that they are, in fact, creatively inept. I mean, how did a bunch of people get in a room, watch that, and say "yeah, I think the crowd is going to love it. It's a go". Probably the same morons that did the A&M video in '05 ("Avenge me!").

god I hate it already--power towel.......what in the fug.......at least call it the growl towel, which is semi cool.

you don't think auburn looks cool when they are all shaking those "pom poms?"
Cmon, if someone introduced the wabash, we would all LOL. But because of it's history, we are all EMAW over that sh1..t

I would rather they made us learn the chorus of the rap at the end of the movie "Wildcats".

"New Traditions" = completely oxy moronic in the first place. Stuuuupid!

If this replaces the gary glitter song where we chant K-S-U during it, Prince might as well change the powercat. That songs been kicking ass and taking names for like 30 years now. :thumbsup:
-
K!
STATE!
-
anyone remember the "spirit can"? when the cheerleaders took the lid off, everyone was suppose to scream, when they put the lid back on, everyone was suppose to be quiet. that was a brilliant idea compared to this.

-
It got to me. :ksu:
I think the towels are intimidating, I seriously do. :ksu:
Are they handed out at the SJSU game to keep or do you have to go buy it??
-
Towels are OK. Song is ... just so-so. Video... ick.
The true test will be to see how it goes over in a game-time environment.
-
Should we all leave if they really do play that video? :ohno:
-
It's now up on youtube:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=-A-05wPlQQ4
I want my power towel! :ksu:
-
might be kinda cool on say like kickoffs or something. maybe
:hope:
-
I don't think it will catch. Remember when they tried to introduce the "We Are K-State" thing? That really caught on... :rolleyes:
-
that video is a piece of crap.
wow. please..let that be a joke.
im speechless.
-
The only problem with the idea is the "bring your towel" concept. Just make new towels each game.
-
Fatty's right. If someone had introduced wabash to us in that format, we'd all be really pissed. But because of the tradition, and the way it started, we're all pumped up about it every time it plays.
It could end up cool after a few years. As it is, the way they introduced it was horrible. Srsly.
-
I wish they had kstate cat claws instead.
-
How many emails will this take to stop? This cannot happen.
-
I'm not going to run to the box that stashed way back in the corner of the basement, but I know that I've got a 1982 "Growl Towel" down there. It's packed just beneath the 1987 "Wipe'm Out Cats Towel." Carrying some towel to a football game is akin to a 3-year old who won't give up his "wubby."
There's no tradition terry cloth. Bad idea, wrong time--fire the marketing guy.

dont be dissing my shaker!
-
ain't no dissin here! think it's cool!
-
The video is so horrible that it ruins it. The idea of that chant before kickoffs or right after td's maybe right after the ksu chant, or during timeouts isn't a horrible idea to keep the stadium in the game. But whoever created the vid should be fired.
Bill snyder retarded the AD's creativity when it comes to that stuff. We are like Eastern Europe when it comes to that. They still love michael jackson.
-
ain't no dissin here! think it's cool!
haha...ok :loly:
it does look bad ass when like 85,00 of 86,00 are shaking them.
Back in the day, there used to be a phenomenon call "Shaker Haze".
The Shakers were made of paper and after big plays and excessive shaking the shakers would just fall apart and streamers would go everywhere.
Im not old enough so i never got to experience it but my Dad says it was intense.
-
I'm fine trying a new chant and the crowd back and forth is a cool idea...but the recorded air guitar and horrible video are on the level of a high school team....
-
Does anyone else :loly: when they see Willie playing the guitar with his teeth?? :lol: :lol:

Do you get out to Stockton very much?

How did the Wabash thing start out, anyway (not the song, the motion part)?

Before a game many years ago, Nichols Hall burned down to the ground. (The band department used to be located in the old Nichols.) The only piece of music left for the band to play was the sheet music the band director had in his briefcase at the time of the fire. It happened to be "Wabash Cannonball." So the band played that over and over again at the next game, and the fans loved it and even created a set of moves for it. They've been playing it at games ever since.
A much better tradition than "We saw Oklahoma State do this one thing and liked it so we stole it," also referred to as "Waving the Wheat."
-
Christ, you honestly just have to laugh at these loveable incompetents in the K-State marketing and promotions department.
I thought ku out drawing us in attendance for the home opener would be embarassment enough (41K expected for Sat.). Now a fracking "power towel"???????
Banner start, ladies and gents.

The best college tradition is not dotting the i at Ohio State. It's not stealing the goat from Navy. Or waving the wheat at Kansas.
http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/inside_game/rick_reilly/news/2003/03/04/life_of_reilly0310/
Also, here's a video clip from a 1950 game. You'll see some wheat waving about three quarters through:
http://www.kusports.com/multimedia/video/history/football/max1950/8.shtml
Do a quick google search of "waving the wheat" and tell me how many times you get a link that mentions OSU.
BTW, what is a "new tradition"? And why would Freeman knowingly participate in that video?

you just pissed you ain't go no towel.
-
That's cool. But nowhere in there does it say ku started that tradition. I do remember an OSU fan posting a link to a site that said OSU did start the tradition.
Just because you guys stole it 50 years ago doesn't mean you didn't steal it.
It was dumb to steal anyways. Seriously. Do you realize how dumb you look? I don't think you do.
-
you just pissed you ain't go no towel.
I think I'll just dye my Terrible Towel. Just ordered my air guitar. All I need now is some lavender zubaz.
-

Don't you guys have a tradition where you bob back and forth like the kids who used to ride the short bus?

na, just dye your red ones.
-
So I've watched the video a few times now, hoping that somehow, someway it would kind of sink in and I wouldn't think it was the worst, gayest thing I've ever seen, unfortunately I still can't come to that conclusion. I keep thinking this is something that was done in 1985 (when guitar solos were cool) and they're just dusting off some old tape. I don't mind the towels, those are okay. Jesus Christ that video and the music suck.

Well no sh*t. I meant the moves with it.
The moves were something that the band did. Then excitable fans very much like fatty started doing it, too. I guess they just couldn't contain their glee. Anyway, it just spread until almost everyone would do it. The 1st down business spread on its own in the same sort of way. Someone was initially like, "Dude, I'm so stoked for that first down. I am going to say the PA announcer's words out loud like I am singing at a rock concert." Neither of those things, however, are half as gay as the garbage in that video.

Can you please make a YouTube depicting said events? Thanks Chum.

I hope Willie brings a guitar to games.
-
I could easily see Willie dreaming up an opening skit that incorporates Guitar Hero.
-
I can tell...all you guys are just angry you didn't grow up in the 80's. :)
The towel...eh, whatever.
The chant...I can see becoming effective...in time.
The video...well, let's just say "Video Killed the Radio Star"
-
I hope Willie brings a guitar to games.
You know he will.

FWIW, I sent a lengthy email yesterday voicing my displeasure with the video. I have yet to receive a reply.

O......M......F........G
I finally watched the video. That's the worst piece of crap I've ever seen a university try to use.
