Start Wearing Purple - Our "Jumparound"

[The Tonya Harding of Twitter Users Creep]

Here's what you all need: get a giant, and I mean GIANT, purple sheet or tarp or whatever. Cover your newly renovated badass press box with it. When it's shown to the world, you play SWP, and at the "start wearing purple foooooor meeeeeee..." Drop the drape when he shouts "NOOoOOoOOW!!!"

*drops mike*

 

This could possibly cause tarp-crushing injuries/casualties to the people sitting in the WS bowl.  Appreciate the idea tho

not to mention that mike guy probably wont survive the fall!

You know the "WHO CARES" and whatever signs at basketball games?  We need three signs:  START, WEARING, and PURPLE.  Big rough ridin' signs.  Double sided so they can be read from both sides (don't eff it up by putting START on both sides, you'll have a START/PURPLE sign, a WEARING/WEARING sign, and a PURPLE/START sign).  That way it reads from both sides. 

THEN!  Several times a game, timeouts maybe, we form three concentric circles. The inner circle is holding the signs.  The middle circle is singing loud as eff, and clapping their hands.  These people give a good example to follow.  The outer circle encourages the people around them to take part.

Guys, WE CAN DO THIS!

Oh lord you're right it does.  Didn't notice that when I wrote it.

[DQ12]

i thought that's what you were going for

[OK_Cat]

i'm no expert on getting new things started, but this rape circle thing might have "legs," fellas.

force the student section into singing it, and then it's happening.  whether they like it or not.  rape.

[Emo EMAW]

It's not rape if you pretend to like it!  Take the power back! 

[Tobias]

i'm checking out at the rape-related stuff, sorry bros

[DQ12]

maybe we should just go with drunk bro on his bros shoulders starting it

 

[OK_Cat]

that will probably result in less lawsuits.  good call dlew

[Trim]

BTW, it's @GogolBordello and @MAMADIASPORA.

I wasn't sure exactly where in the thread to link to get them on board, and figured this is D-Rew's thing so I'll let him make the first approach.

[DQ12]

This is our thing. 

[Trim]

This is our thing. 

Well yeah, but you're, as they say at USF, driving the bus.

Anyway, I think you should hit 'em up.  2nd game of the year, all day tailgate, F14 already making grumblings of performing a song or taping a video somewhere as part of it.  A great way to kickstart this thing would be gB playing it live at a gE MOAP.

[DQ12]

done!

We obviously have enough miles/points to fly these to #titletown for this

100% method for getting this song (at least rehearsed) played by the band.

Somebody just call up the band director posing as a writer for either ESPN the Mag or Rolling Stone, saying you are writing a piece for their college FB preview issue (Band director wont know those publications are already done) on college prep bands that are taking non-traditional, current rock songs and incorporating them into their band repertoire. While researching the piece, you saw a major groundswell of public interest in getting KSU band to play this tune, yada yada yada, fill in the blanks.....

They'll be practicing the song within 24 hours

Hey guys. What about this? What if Joni Smeollier and her lackeys continue to  on Start Wearing Purple. It's a big what if, but what if.

If it happens and they refuse to play it, can we switch and request that between the third and fourth quarters they play all 8 minutes of the studio version of Purple Rain? Would get everyone super pumped.

Or what if we called him posing as an ESPN writer and tell him to play the song or else he'll get murdered.

[SkinnyBenny]

Can you imagine if they played a prank on the players and made them hold up their "4" for eight whole minutes during that slow, sad, interminable (and great) Prince song? I can. Because I am right now.

 I heard that "The Mask" is coming out with a new video using SWP as the soundtrack.
