Detroit Sports 105.1 interviewed Mike Weinberg from the Hail and Unite team and just destroyed him on the air. But Hail and Unite continues to press on.

It sounds like "Hail and Unite" has the non-alum fans fired up, so it doesn't surprise me that talk radio is starting to latch on.

I don't like the idea, either, but straight-up murder is kind of a harsh punishment.

Leviticus, 11:17 says that "He who shall Perform a Song which is not the Song of the Victorious in a Manner which intermingles it with the Song of the Victorious shall be put to Death."
Rules are rules.

You actually forced me to look this up to make sure you didn't have that in your bag ready to pull out. Now, for some reason I can't understand, you've brought Temple University into this. Or maybe Rice? WAIT! This is a Sam McGuffie thing right? Full circle...

When quoting Leviticus I usually go with 22:24, "If an animal has damaged testicles or is castrated, you may not offer it to the Lord. You must never do this in your own land"

Everyone kills people, murders people, steals from you, steals from me, whatever...
February 13th, 2015 at 2:20 PM ^
Yeah, and people on here thought Brian's threat to ruin their careers was harsh! How come nobody's giving the Detroit Sports crew a hard time for killing them?

A few years ago, remember some UM undergrads who wanted a MASCOT, and came up with a "wolverine" that actually looked like Wile E Coyote got genetically cross-bred with a stuffed teddy bear?
This seems similar. It, too, shall pass. The market place knows what it wants; and it doesn't want this.

Listening to this....these kids just don't get it. They are going to create another In the Big House. They're going to go to their grave thinking that everyone is against it because "no one understands" or "the media misrepresented our movement" when really, we all get it but we hate their idea.
They don't want to replace the victors but they want to make a song that represents Michigan and unites the fan base....like....uh....I don't know.....The Victors?
It seems like they really want the money to make a documentary to put on their resume about how they wrote some song for Michigan.

"We have a student who is willingly already working for us just to film us because he want to get the exposure and wants to have the attention." But he never explains why they need the money though.
February 13th, 2015 at 2:03 PM ^
The whole project reeks of a dude who just wants fame, noteriety and stuffing for his resume. There are infinite things that need improving, creating or supporting and this tries to monkey with something that is the best in the land.
I hope B-school professors emphasize filling the unfilled niche or contributing to the greater good. I am naive, but to me a great business idea doesn't just make money, it does good.
February 13th, 2015 at 12:52 PM ^
Everyone is making way too big of deal about this, so now it's becoming a bigger story than it ever should have. Let's not turn this kid into a sympathetic figure. If the season ticket holders don't want this stuff played at games, then it won't. Their the ones with the power. Hackett isn't going to whore out the stadium for this crap.
February 13th, 2015 at 12:55 PM ^
I don't think Weinberg and Hail and Unite come off as a sympathetic figure. If anything, I don't feel as bad as for them as I did before.

Just add "worse" and "worst" and it'll have the all covered.
I've seen a lot of "That was the worse game I've seen" comments on the intertubes lately.
February 13th, 2015 at 1:18 PM ^
we can add it later.
February 13th, 2015 at 1:45 PM ^
Is that a coffee mug? I want one.
February 13th, 2015 at 2:36 PM ^
No idea where to acquire one though.

Here! Here!
February 13th, 2015 at 3:28 PM ^
I don't remember seeing them misused much until recently, but now I'm a little surprised when they're used correctly.
February 13th, 2015 at 4:25 PM ^
Way back in the day I was a member of a usenet college football group where using "dominate" in place of "dominant" (as well as always spelling academic as acedemic) was an in-group joke we used to troll the "September Storm" that appeared every fall when freshman started college.

Although I am a bit of a hypocrite, because I have to admit, I have always understood all of these but still catch myself being bad at the your/you're....

I don't think that's true. The majority of fellow season ticketholders I know have hated the last several seasons, with music blaring so loudly pre-game we can barely hold a conversation. Out-of-the-blue (I will say pun intended) and loud as hell pop cuts between plays or during stoppages. We all complained, yet it never stopped. Hopefully Hackett gets that fixed too.
February 13th, 2015 at 12:57 PM ^
These guys are going to end up humiliated, if they aren't already.
What's sad is that I think their heart isn't necessarily in the wrong place - they seem to genuinely want a distinctive stadium experience. The problem is that they can't even imagine one without cheesy pop music blasting out of the speakers. They don't know what Michigan Stadium was like before that happened. For them, the notion of the marching band generating all the music is beyond their comprehension. This is what Martin and Brandon have wrought.
February 13th, 2015 at 1:02 PM ^
At this point, these guys should know how the vast majority of the fanbase feels. If they keep going at it, then they deserve to be humiliated.
February 13th, 2015 at 1:14 PM ^
With all due respect to Weiss, who I clearly don't know... I wonder how many games he either skipped or showed up to late.
If you want a better stadium experience, find ways to fill seats early. Maybe close down your frat parties 30 minutes before kick? That's a movement worthy of funding that a lot of people could get behind. Imagine if all frats - in the spirit of support for the football team - declared that they would shut down parties prior to the game. Maybe I'm living in a dream world, but that would send a statement that the student community cares about football.
February 13th, 2015 at 1:17 PM ^
All the frat tailgates I've ever been to shut down 30 minutes before kickoff. Obviously, not all those people are going to the games so there's a few stragglers, but I don't think the fraternities are as big a problem as you suggest.
February 13th, 2015 at 1:20 PM ^
Cool, I did not really know that. The few frat tailgates I went to while I was a student I always bailed at least an hour before kick.
It would still be cool to see the Greek system get together on some kind of initiative to promote attendance early.
February 13th, 2015 at 1:09 PM ^
Wow getting James Earl Jones to pitch in on the song is a huge coup! /s
Seriously, I feel these students are just trying to do this not because they think it's needed, but because they want their names on something they can point to later on as saying they did and use it as something to open doors to jobs.
February 13th, 2015 at 1:25 PM ^
Is that a terribly bad reason?? Again, just asking, not arguing. Kids join frats, sororities, professional clubs, competitions, to show future employers that they have initiative, multi-tasking abilities, teamwork skills, project management skills. This seems similar, so why is this specific project so wrong???... the caveat of course being that they dont harm the existing history of Michigan before them(which from my understanding, is not their intention)

As an alum, if I saw his resume come across my desk, I'd probably delete immediately if I saw 'Hail and Unite' cited as a past project.

I'm not going to defend 105.1 because they are not good.
But it does affect people because they are proposing to use this as music for Michigan sports I enjoy watching with the current music. Moreover they want to use student funds, so it isn't purely creative on their part. If they want to make a hype video with their own music, by all means, please do so...Pat Stansik had a creative idea similar to this and ran with it. Don't shoehorn CSG into funding your idea. Which just so happens to most likely be terrible.
