Hail & Unite minions have been deployed
together, we can unite against Hail & Unite. their youtube video is getting smoked with dislikes. i invite everyone on here with a youtube or gmail account to get on there and leave a comment and dislike the thing.

They have deployed their minions across twitter, most likely the friends and or family of those working on this awful thing. Also, their lackys have began posting (fake) comments on the video to try to drown out the negative responses.
Together, we can do this.

No. Going to Michigan does not make one a better person and exempt from criticism. However, some of that crticism is entertaining when you consider the critic.
I don't really care what the students at any other school are doing with their free time. It surprises me that a person who doesn't go to Michigan has gotten so worked up by this project.
February 21st, 2015 at 1:13 PM ^
Maybe I'm so against it because I'm literally a lifelong Michigan fan (born with a stuffed Wolverine in the hospital crib) and don't want another embarrassing In The Big House fiasco?
Just because I'm not good enough or worthy enough to attend Michigan doesn't mean I'm going to forget who I am and what I am about.
February 21st, 2015 at 3:50 PM ^
Wait WD doesn't even go to MICHIGAN??? Hahahaahahahahaahhaa holy shit....
This whole time I thought WD was a freshman and was wondering how he got off campus housing...

it's so lame in every fucking way.
This site really hasn't gotten over that nonsense?

Adam Weiss is worthy of ridicule regardless of where he attends school and by anyone who sees one of his ridiculous logoed selfies.
February 21st, 2015 at 11:10 AM ^
If it's not really real to them, then the backlash probably isn't either.
February 21st, 2015 at 11:26 AM ^
Does that make it better, though? A "real" project that is receiving very real criticism. If I'm going to get criticised for something, I'd rather have it be an idea that I actually wanted to do, rather than some fake idea.
February 21st, 2015 at 11:34 AM ^
Just changes how I feel about it.
February 21st, 2015 at 2:58 PM ^
Who is funding these Hail & Unite clowns?
Seriously - everything that I've seen from them indicates that this is clearly not a grassroots movement. Just take a look at their website - professionally produced, with PR-speak that definitely appears not to have been written by a student.
Same thing with their YouTube video - professional production values. Just who is behind this campaign, and where are these H&U people getting their money?
February 21st, 2015 at 3:21 PM ^
They're attempting to Crowdfund!!!

I'm tempted to donate just so I can see how terrible that documentary would be.

not only can he be, he is very much so.
February 21st, 2015 at 8:34 AM ^
He's just a douchebag self-promoter. He cares about nothing about what's good for Michigan, he's just using it as a platform to get recognition.
Did Dave Brandon have a college-age son that we didn't know about?
February 21st, 2015 at 8:44 AM ^
He's a young sociopath, full stop.
February 21st, 2015 at 12:07 PM ^
LOL...no, the girls around him were found around campus and were told they could be part of a documentry if they participated. In general, girls like their picture taken, even if it's hanging around a douche. They're not even parties, all totally staged. The only pictures you will find of him at parties are the ones where he has penis drawings on his face or someone peeing on his leg in the background. These backgrounds and situations are obviously staged. He's the type of guy that you tell everyone not to invite to your party and if he does show, you are either 1.) finding a way to get rid of him or 2.) finding a way to humiliate him as part of your entertainment factor for the evening.
This is the same type of runt that is will follow around an alpha male all night at the bar and try to pick up his scraps. Then when he fails miserably (which is often), sit at the bar, get sloppy drunk, call all women bitches because the super model he was trying to pick up earlier saw right through to his Napoleon Complex issues.
This sums up this guy's life in a nutshell.
February 21st, 2015 at 10:58 PM ^
at least it's hilarious.
February 21st, 2015 at 8:00 AM ^
are those neon green pants...tool.
Screw this. If he wants a fight, lets fight. Craig James Style...anyone got a great meme?
February 21st, 2015 at 8:38 AM ^

Adam Weiss killed 5 fight songs @ Michigan.

He looks pretty fly.... for a white guy.
February 21st, 2015 at 10:15 AM ^
Had Ink done. Wanted a "13" but he got a "31".

February 21st, 2015 at 3:16 PM ^
but that is really a real person doing this...right? Jersy Shore comes to Ann Arbor.
Adam man, I'm all in for you having a good time and being whoever you want to be my friend....Dog knows I cut a wide swath through UM and exited with a degree and a two year cumulative hangover, but the stuff you are trying to push here really isn't something that will be good for M or anyone/anything connected to it. The youtube post is currently getting voted down about 5:1....that should tell you something.
When I went to M we had a very similar kind of thing where some students I knew from the dorm were trying to push M to adopt a new mascot.....called Willy the Wolverine....and they spent endless hours trying to promote it and get people on board and I witnessed first hand their frustration in wondering why everyone wasn't on the same page as them. It went on for two+ years and was somewhat contentious and in the end it was just very clear that while these few students wanted this to happen...mostly for themselves and their own vanity's sake, that the vast majority of students, fans, alumnae simply hated the idea and shat on it every time they tried a new avenue by which to introduce it.
As it becomes more clear that you are in a clear minority of people that wants this to move forward and that there are infinitely more people that are vehemently opposed to it....trust me when I say that the milllion or so people that will be most (may parents met while at UM, my bother and sister also went to M, I grew up literally swimming in alumnae and fan freinds of Michigan and am now 47 years old) vehemently opposed to this haven't even heard about it yet....so if you don't have the groundswell of support you want right now, there is not going to be fertile soil in which to plant this anywhere you haven't looked yet.
No one is trying to "break you bro", but at some point you need to ask yourself....do you want this for you and your ego, or because it is something that will benefit M? If the vast preponderence of people that are reponding to this whole thing are telling you that they don't like it and think it is bad for the image of the university, you need to listen. Otherwise, you kind of become an asshole...right? You become someone that would push something through to the detriment of the university only to satisfy yourself and your ego and to puff up your own image.
Is that what you want to be?

Funny, because I took two years of Latin in high school and should actually know better, remembering that pulchra puellae meant beatiful girls (that is what you remember when you take latin at 15, all roads lead to females)
gratias ago tibi, magister

comment from a minion who is most likely Adam Weiss, or his mom, or his friend, or a yes man on the project, or Dave Brandon or Lochdawggg.
People! Get your facts straight before you begin to cry bloody murder! Hail and Unite is not, I repeat, NOT a plan to replace The Victors! This is a terrible misconception that has gone out of hand. It is simply a new song, collaborating groups on campus such as the one I am currently in with UMich performing arts alumni, that would be played for pep and hype at sporting events and such. NO MORE! It saddens me that this misconception has gone around! Look at this video, it's sweet, so hype! This project has so much potential to be fun and give some great groups on campus the chance to showcase their talents and unite all Wolverines in a great, uniquely UMich song! Go to the website yourself and see!

Besides, do you really really think that anybody would be dumb enough to even suggest replacing The Victors??
MAKE IT STOP
February 21st, 2015 at 12:33 AM ^
I guess I just don't get what these people think they're going to do with this. Is the Athletic Department all of the sudden going to assume their song and start playing it? THis has absolutely no official sanction from anyone. They think just because they're going to produce this stupid song no one wants, that no one asked for, that it's going to be taken up as a serious venture by the people hitting the button. And as little faith as I have in Special K, I just don't see this as being in the equation--as bad as his taste is.
February 21st, 2015 at 12:38 AM ^
Isn't that what pretty much happened with Pop Evil's........."song"? Also, special K has played Sweet Cherry Pie and Hide Yo Kids, Hide Yo Wife so anything's possible.
February 21st, 2015 at 1:00 AM ^
Well, didn't Athletics ask Pop Evil to do that shit?
February 21st, 2015 at 1:35 AM ^
I'm not gonna touch your piccolo bro. Stop misconceptualizing my project.
February 21st, 2015 at 1:41 AM ^
February 21st, 2015 at 12:06 PM ^
I'd be perfectly comfortable declaring this guy a TOOL based entirely on this photo. In fact, several in the collection would suffice.
You wonder about his parenting and childhood environment. Are his mom and dad Grade A narcissists, too?
February 21st, 2015 at 12:45 PM ^
Is the guy in the glasses trying to touch AW's piccolo?
/s
February 21st, 2015 at 9:16 PM ^
I find these AW pictures to be mesmerizing in a Kardashian/muzak/car-accident/carny kind of way. This fact scares me. "Hail and Unite", if actually produced, will, I predict, exceed all our expectations for the nadir of western pop culture. No, Im not kidding. Only upside? It cant get any worse.....
February 21st, 2015 at 1:40 AM ^
It definitely seems like something Lochdogg and DB would do, but I can only find that it was Pop Evil's own idea. http://www.guitarworld.com/pop-evil-pay-tribute-university-michigan-football-team-new-song
February 21st, 2015 at 10:55 AM ^
I mean, sure, protest the fact that it gets played all the time instead of The Victors, but you can't really fault some guys for paying tribute to a football team they love.
February 21st, 2015 at 2:08 AM ^
This isn't like In the Big House. I've never even been in the big house.
February 21st, 2015 at 2:53 PM ^
February 21st, 2015 at 3:15 PM ^
.......that isn't really the guy.
February 21st, 2015 at 3:29 PM ^
that he's the CEO. I don't know about you, but in the organizations I've worked in, the CEO is the guy.

There is faculty on HailAndUnite. I hope they don't have any pull.
I wouldn't be surprised to see these clowns roll this out at a non-revenue sport first just to get the ball rolling.
February 21st, 2015 at 12:35 AM ^
When you're trying to convince an angry mass to buy into your vision or product or whatever this is, "So Hype" is probably not the best way to descibe it.
February 21st, 2015 at 2:13 AM ^
So hype tip: protips are for 30 year old neckbeards.
