Mothers of Mitch, GRIII & Spike reflect on sons, Final 4 Run, sing 7.2% of "The Victors"
I tried to think of all kinds of clever things to say about this video, but sometimes words just ain't enough (call it "undescribable").
Stop the interwebs: Valerie McGary, Shantelle Clay-Irving, and Tammy Albrecht reflect together on their sons' latest accomplishments, although...they still have to learn the majority of "the finest college march (March?) ever written"--so, GRIII, don't go pro 'til your mom learns the rest of The Victors. (Which I hope is like never.)
(i'm not going to admit how long it took me to still NOT embed correctly. but...it was at least one episode of Mad Men.)
Here ya go.
I don't even want to admit how many other episodes of Mad Men it took me to try to test embedding as a comment when I failed in the OP, but the total may or may not have been equal to the number of META posts I looked up, read, and tried to follow on this board re: embedding.
Goddam onions in this room!!! Where'd they come from?!?!?!
Thank you, honorary Michigan Women. You've raised remarkable sons.
I'm cracking up from them "singing" Hail to the Victors.
It;s "The Victors". Maybe they don't know the name or the words, but everyone on MGoBlog should at least know the name of the damn song!
Aw, don't be that guy.
I approve of your message though.
haha the end!
Typical moms. lol Great stuff.
thoroughly enjoyable. thanks for posting.
awesome video. would love to see more of these Michigan Moms (or Dads) type things because it makes the whole thing so much more real and personal.
that said, HOW CAN U NOT KNOW VICTORZ???!!!
:)
I know, right? If their sons had been recruited by, say, Brian Ellerbe, then of course they wouldn't know the song. But this team has earned a lot of repeat plays.
Pity iTunes doesn't follow you through life and keep track of your personal "play count" for things like this. :)
....and in a sense, it fits very well with the related story - (HERE).
The news story is a nice read. These moms are indeed all in for Michigan, but more importantly, all in for their sons. It also goes into some of their shared history going back to their time in the SYF AAU program and the relationships between the families was established well before Spike, Glenn and Mitch found themselves playing together at Michigan.
Why "7.2%"?
thank you. the lede said they sing "the Victors", so the whole time I was waiting for it, and then that's all we get?
7.2%.
Naa na na naa na naa naa
Na na naaaaa na-na
Go Blue!
As a mother I loved this. The emphasis on the practical "I gotta change the plane ticket" and the honest "Big sweaty bodies...it was stinky" really resonated. Ha ha ha.
I knew that was Spike's mom the minute I saw her--he has her face! BTW there was a really nice profile on Spike in one of the papers today.
