Video Of All Varieties: Nebraska 2011
This:
Parkinggod highlights:
The MGoBlue highlights use that frustratingly close camera angle but here they are:
Wolverine Historian has a longer reel if that's your jam. It's not as high quality as the others.
Nyancat:
This really should have been the entire halftime show. 20 minutes of Nyancat. I also think they should replace Seven Nation Army with Nyancat. It would have the same effect on the offense that Iowa's pink locker room does.
Mattison's… interesting gesture:
If you want to know what the hell I was talking about on the twitters, the entire MMB halftime show was captured. It has not gotten good reviews, but at least they're trying to entertain. Also their pregame routine was captured.
More after the jump.

I don't come to mi football to listen to opera and 60's pop music. More YouTube please. Next they need to play Friday, the Rent is too damn high, Piano cat, more Charlie the unicorn, and Weezer's pork and beans.

I love our band almost as you do, Bando.
I sat with a former OSU bandmember at the Nebraska game. She likes our band; she's always amazed at how we sound, with woodwinds. "Like Broadway," she thinks, "or a symphonic band." And both of us were astonished at how disjointed and awkward the show was. Her complaint was technical -- "See how everybody is looking at the video board? They should be looking at the band... they worked hours and hours to get their movements as precise as they are... And nobody's watching them..."
I suppose that somebody had the inspirational idea to topically play off the existence of the new video boards, which failed almost up to the moment of truth for the halftime show. You sort of wonder -- would the Marching Band show have been possibly better, if the scoreboards had continued to fail through halftime?

LOL that was hilarious. But I still think Hoke needs to add "intensity" to his repertoire to have Lloyd down pat.

During the Carr ceremony they described him as the "second-winningest coach in Michigan history." Isn't he third in wins, behind Bo and Yost?
Also: is that video of the postgame tunnel walk, or the halftime walk? Looking at the crowd (and the fact our guys went in the tunnel right after Nebraska's did, rather than go to the student section) suggests halftime.

Jake Ryan is a beast! It is also great to see how the defense is swarming to the ball. Glad the announcers pointed that out.

but I love you for the Scott Joplin reference, because it is true. I thought the (video of) the show was great and think the band should be encouraged to be timely and have fun. If the stadium is going to play piped in music all the time, why not have the band have fun with it?

Representative old person here
I guess you young whippersnappers would prefer a halftime "band" show that is played out entirely on the scoreboard? The show Saturday came fairly close to that "ideal." Wouldn't it have been ironic if this "tech savvy" show had to go forward in a power outage? And, since you're hating on Scott Joplin, maybe it's time to phase out "The Victors" while we're at it -- that song is, like, over a hundred years old!
I've gotta go with Bando on this one -- "A" for effort, but "F" for execution.
