Hail and Unite is back by unpopular demand
Hail and Unite has launched a new website and a promo video. The hype is real! They even have an executive board. It's fitting that this comes on a day when Brian writes about the failure of Dave Brandon. I wonder who served as Louis Elbel's CFO and COO back when he wrote "The Victors."
The hype is real! Help us spread the #HailAndUnite excitement as we head towards our official launch in March: https://t.co/Fs289wxxie

So one of the 18 members convinced a parent to follow their group then.

After the Halo, video scoreboards, canned music, watered down OOC football games against MAC schools, I've decided to save my strength. The Victors isn't going anywhere and these students can't do anything to tarnish my degree hanging on the wall.
If the song sucks, then cool. I'll just have to suffer for five minutes during a three hour beatdown of Sparty and OSU this fall.

You didn't want video scoreboards?
February 18th, 2015 at 8:42 PM ^
This is BAD and WRONG on so many levels....WTF?

Quick, someone get Anonymous to start DOS attacks against the site.

DOS attack? You mean like

1. Unite Michigan Community and raise seed money
2. Roll out crowdfunding
3. Execute Song and Music Video
4. Release documentary
February 18th, 2015 at 9:38 PM ^
I'm all for Step 3, though. This song should be executed.
February 18th, 2015 at 9:59 PM ^
First off, do they REALLY believe that it takes 6 whole months to create, record, and shoot a music video for one damn song? There are bands who create entire double concept albums in less time. How much effort do they expect Eminem or whoever they think they can bribe to actually devote to something like this?
Secondly, I know this is a pipe dream but I really hope that they have some neutral third party filming the documentary of this process already. I would love to see the behind the scenes interviews and meeting rooms where these people discuss the idea and then try and fail to process the public backlash to their idiotic idea. But that won't happen.

Methinks they care more about this step than the otehr ones.
"Look at us, how cool we are, doing . . . what was it we were doing again?"
February 19th, 2015 at 12:40 AM ^
If that graphic is an accurate depiction of their plan it pretty much sums up the fundamental problem - the actual thing/widget/Macguffin that they are supposedly creating - the song, is number 3 on the to do list.
Just let this wither away.

As a B-School alumnus, I am embarrassed by this.
I thought the B-School was supposed to be hard to get into. To think, these are the kids that beat out all the other kids to get in.
February 19th, 2015 at 9:04 AM ^
Why would we think that a grass roots and organic song and movement would start with the song?
February 19th, 2015 at 11:20 AM ^
Can we skip it all and go straight to step 4?
February 19th, 2015 at 2:02 PM ^
I'm glad they're planning to execute the song.
Maybe they'll do it painlessly with a guillotine?
February 18th, 2015 at 8:58 PM ^
needs to join Dan Marino and Dave Brandon and rot in hell and die of ghonarhea.

It's like these guys don't realize that the pain they have in their crotches is from repeatedly smashing their nuts in doors, so they just keep at it.
The world has spoken; your idea is not welcome. Sharpen up those resumes with something else.

BTW, the FAQ page on that site basically states that the only thing of substance they've accomplished thus far is create a website with Square Space and got "press" by everyone on the internet saying they are idiots and trying to get attention instead of meaningfully wanting to change the sports experience at UM. It's almost comical how little thought beyond appearances has been put into this "innovative" project.

Bite your tongue, they've also planned to produce a documentary. Nothing like declaring you will be making a documentary to commemorate something that you fucking made up.
February 18th, 2015 at 10:32 PM ^
Nothing says "Unmitigated Arrogance" like declaring you are making a documentary before you even start the process.
February 18th, 2015 at 9:05 PM ^
I'd rather them pipe-in Boten Anna than this dumb shit.
At least it would be unique. And nostalgic.

Adam Weiss is #DefinitelyInHisZone.
I can't believe there was ever an ounce of remorse for this kid.

or are you just posting the stupidest picture of Michigan students possible to make him look bad?

From their website
There is a list of talent we have compiled, and the aim is to combine genres in an effort to appeal to multiple tastes.
No doubt they are following in the footsteps of Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach when the trio of composers teamed up to write The Alla Turca Moonlight Sonata Toccata and Fugue.
You all will eat your words when Hail and Unite goes down in history as a work of musical genius. If anyone can do it, surely it is a team of people-pleasing B-school students!
