Bad (coach) Day [another parody video]
Mates (to borrow an XM phrase),
Needed to get this video done before the end of OT season (and the annual deluge of bliss & content that accompanies Week 0). It took me a while to complete, yes, but shorter than it took for the Cam McGrone (which had its genesis in his "hello" post and its realization just before his "exit" post).
Probably should stick to Gilbert and Sullivan, but had this running in my head even during The Game itself, near the end. The original is just such a well-written & executed song, seems a pity to do this to it--if you don't know it I urge you to check it out here.
Thanks for watching--and Go Blue.

thanks to everyone that I borrowed stuff from (an incomplete list):
- that Patrick Barron tweet
- several Brian Cook retweets
- someone on here made that CJ Stroud meme that was great
- footage of the band, game, etc.
thank you. the rest is basically my fault.
oh! and was thinking, if BiSB is ok with it, I'd sing his "Edmund Fitzgerald" Terrapin parody -- if someone else who can actually make videos would ... uh ... videograph? it? any experts out there?
August 24th, 2023 at 8:27 AM ^
That was excellent! Enormously entertaining!
August 23rd, 2023 at 11:39 PM ^
That was brilliant. Is there a way to transfer points? Because if there was, I’d just give you all mine right now.
August 23rd, 2023 at 11:42 PM ^
you're far too kind! thank you.
August 24th, 2023 at 3:12 AM ^
Agreed well done to OP and offering you the same measley +1 I’d give to a well placed pun seems….insufficient given the effort put in here
August 24th, 2023 at 9:48 AM ^
Still insufficient, but we can also give it a thumbs-up on YouTube.
August 24th, 2023 at 10:35 AM ^
thank you and good point. while we're at it since it's almost 3 years old now and we don't really have the linebacker recruits for Seth to repost this here's my previous attempt at online humor (slightly different music tho)
August 24th, 2023 at 10:59 AM ^
More brilliance! I don't know how I missed that previously. It too deserves more views and thumbs up! The timing of the Cheerleaders activity and music was incredible. Don't know how you could have recognized and used it.
August 24th, 2023 at 11:50 AM ^
thanks! I swear at first the claps and fist pumps in the crowd were also lined up.
in this video, worked hard to time the headbutt and the flag plant. just...makes it much better.
August 24th, 2023 at 10:43 AM ^
That's a great idea. There should be more people doing it. Not enough thumbs up yet.
August 23rd, 2023 at 11:59 PM ^
I just woke up with a toothache. All smiles here now though. Tooth still hurts though 😢
August 24th, 2023 at 12:48 AM ^
sorry to hear that but grateful to have been a minor analgesic!
August 24th, 2023 at 1:32 AM ^
I cannot wipe the smile off my face. I laughed through the whole thing.
Well done sir, well done.
August 24th, 2023 at 10:21 AM ^
then we are kindred spirits. thanks!
August 24th, 2023 at 12:38 PM ^
thank you! was it you that made the one I put in there? if so, thanks extra :)
August 24th, 2023 at 5:00 AM ^
wonderful.
question: did you write this? sing this? produce this? i want to give credit where it's due and its all kind of awesome.
August 24th, 2023 at 6:35 AM ^
fair enough mate. I did it all myself, although as above I borrowed some of the visuals from stuff I found here in the aftermath.
well, carl bell WROTE the original song of course.
August 24th, 2023 at 7:24 AM ^
this is meant sincerely, not mocking. great job.
August 24th, 2023 at 6:46 AM ^
Excellent song. The fact that nobody had much to say about the flag at the 50 tells you the heart and pride that buckeye team had. Should have at least been a little jaw-jacking and testy attitudes but they didn’t give less than a shit. Just walked off like: yea whatever, they’re our daddies now.
August 24th, 2023 at 9:27 AM ^
that's a great point.
August 24th, 2023 at 7:46 AM ^
Excellent.
August 24th, 2023 at 12:38 PM ^
gratias tibi ago
August 24th, 2023 at 8:16 AM ^
Oh man this made my day. This needs to go viral. Are you on twitter? Currently blasting this in my office.
August 24th, 2023 at 8:24 AM ^
i am not (really). nor do i even have a soundcloud, sorry.
honored by the blasting tho.
August 24th, 2023 at 8:36 AM ^
Hopefully Seth or Brian can get it out there to a large audience.
August 24th, 2023 at 10:45 AM ^
thanks for that thought.
in a previous life I used to front a band (played in A2 once come to think of it) and you could blast this too if you wanted :)
August 24th, 2023 at 8:41 AM ^
Brilliant! Just brilliant!
August 24th, 2023 at 12:38 PM ^
THANK YOU
August 24th, 2023 at 12:37 PM ^
if it's worthy of a Ron Swanson meme then it's even better than I thought!
August 24th, 2023 at 9:28 AM ^
Simply superb. Touché
August 24th, 2023 at 12:36 PM ^
*bowing
thank you!
August 24th, 2023 at 10:07 AM ^
Tremendous.
August 24th, 2023 at 12:36 PM ^
this is Michigan fergodsakes
August 24th, 2023 at 10:36 AM ^
This was outstanding, well done.
"4th and 3 is 4 and long"...that one got me.
August 24th, 2023 at 12:36 PM ^
oh gosh thanks I think that might have been the first line that came to be (after bad Day of course :)
August 24th, 2023 at 10:51 AM ^
Really enjoyed this. Well done
August 24th, 2023 at 12:35 PM ^
thank you!
August 24th, 2023 at 10:52 AM ^
Just as good the second time.
I loved the tweet of the busted TV, in front of 30 guests at his house. Then he blamed the Nuts for his outburst.
August 24th, 2023 at 11:09 AM ^
FYI that's a meme that's been on sports Twitter for a few years
August 24th, 2023 at 11:16 AM ^
yeah i know. i made the mistake of clicking through to the guy's account. kind of ruins it but still.
August 24th, 2023 at 11:17 AM ^
yeah i doubly know. i made the mistake of double posting. kind of ruins it twice but still.
August 24th, 2023 at 11:11 AM ^
My goodness. Kudos.
August 24th, 2023 at 12:35 PM ^
thanks man! great Gk word!!
August 24th, 2023 at 11:18 AM ^
Just piling on... Great job. Lots of fun to watch.
August 24th, 2023 at 12:35 PM ^
thanks! always a bit of trepidation sending your humor out into the void.
August 24th, 2023 at 11:19 AM ^
I'm hyped. Can't wait for 11/25!
August 24th, 2023 at 12:34 PM ^
amen brother.
