How nice is that?

gratitude in 2010 ,with MU class and creativity

[🏀]

That was really...gay. But thanks, better then a lot of the prick students around here these days.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

wow.  super homo.

[turk17]

Hey, that's a great way to accept gratitude from current students.  After I make my yearly donation, I usually respond to the student thank you calls by saying "hey, you're welcome and you're super gay."

It's a bunch of students obviously having fun.  Look at their other videos and you'll see that they don't take themselves too seriously, like you guys.  Classless ass clowns.

Thanks for the shout out Spanish O'Donnell's.  You make MOST of the MU alumni and former OD residents proud.

[goodgreatgrand]

Hahaha....

I made it to 33 seconds, closed the window, and said to mayself "that was pretty gay." Who lasted longer?

[Peoples_Republic_Warrior]

That may have been the stupidest thing I've ever seen. If I see those guys when I'm back on campus next semester when I'm back in the states I'm DEFINITELY going to give them some crap about it. I understand it's for the University and alums in order to get them to donate money, but come on...that was bad.

Marquette asked them to make this video. Check their other videos, especially I love college. It's better.

Sounds like torture. You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

[New Era Warriors]

I understand that these guys are just having fun, but they have WAY too much time on their hands to be making these stupid videos.

It's either these videos or circle jerks back at OD.

Yeah, they should be spending their time on message boards instead. Way better use of time.
Dude, really?

[Jam Chowder]

MUSCOOP = No-fun cynics. You guys are freakin ridiculous.

[mu_hilltopper]

Well .. indeed, the cynicism aimed at the kid producers might be insulting .. but it sure seems probable that MU "asked them" to make the video, as it's just hard to believe that some 20 something kids would embark on that video concept.

No doubt. But seriously, a few kids put together something creative at the behest of the marketing department, and the douches on this board call them gay and deride a good-natured attempt at humor/entertainment (I think that was even Wes bumpin with them about halfway through). Just because all some of these dudes did in four years was waste space, they've gotta mock others for doing something proactive or different. Some things never change. It's easy to mock others for what they do in an attempt to feel better about your own laziness.

[77ncaachamps]

Don't they have better things to do?

Ugh. The lip-syncing was so game-showish.

The Spanish OD's have balls just to appear in the video!!!

[flash]

That was a great video, those people who insult the Spanish O'Donnels are really lame.  They are a very talented group of kids, and their other videos are hilarious too.

As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Such is the case of the Spanish O'Donnells.

I don't hate them; I just dislike their songs and videos.

[#MUBB]

How ironic that some MU students' rendition of Chamillionaire's song "Good Morning Haters" is received with... well, a lot of hate. There's a lot of hatin goin on in here!!! 

Yes, the song is extremely gay but I don't think they did it in an attempt to boost their own street cred. They have thousands of views on YouTube so they are clearly doing something right.

That being said, probably shouldn't start anymore threads with their new vids.

[mu_hilltopper]

.. Actually, I was surprised their YouTube videos did NOT have more views.  I would figure something like that would be pretty viral on a campus, and get way more hits than 2k.  I see some have 6k .. still would think there'd be more hits..

Is that like 10,000 internet dollars?

[Canned Goods n Ammo]

Geez.

Some of you guys are haters.

I don't think I would ever do a video like this (it's just not for me), but I respect the talent and work that went into it.

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality.

[WellsstreetWanderer]

Some people just like to  put down 18-22 yr. olds for their efforts be it musically or on the basketball court. Must make them feel better about themselves

[sluggy12]

I have always read MUScoop because I love to read what people are saying about the team and other things MU, but I have never made an account because I never felt the need to post anything...until I read all of the bashing you are all doing to a group of 3 funny kids trying to have a good time in college. So I made an account and here is my two cents.

First of all, I am absolutely appalled that after the link was posted the immediate response was that these kids are gay. If you don't like the video, and don't think its funny, say that. In no way does having some fun making videos make these guys gay. I am a senior at Marquette and I don't know these guys personally, but they are friends of some of my friends, and they are extremely popular around campus. I don't know anyone on campus who doesn't know who they are, so I'd say they are doing pretty well at making a name for themselves around campus while doing something that is lighthearted and fun. Plus, I'm pretty sure that these guys pull in more tail in a month than most of you alums did in your Marquette career, so as for them being gay, grow up. Critique it if you don't like it, but calling something gay just because you don't like it is about as uncreative as you can get.

As for them having too much time on their hands, isn't that what college is about? Goofing off and having a good time? Lighten up and remember the fun times you had in college? I hope you did, or you were doing it wrong. Me and most of my friends work 20+ hours a week, drink 20+ hours a week, and still find plenty of time to screw around, play video games, watch movies, and make videos. If these guys have a passion for making funny videos in that spare time, so be it.

I've never been more disappointed in our alums than I am right now. The group is just 3 guys trying to have some fun in college. Lighten up, smoothen out the bunch in your panties and remember what it was like to have some fun.

Is it solid tail, like, she's sober?

Or is it, 2:35 AM stumbling-out-of-Murphy's tail?

There is a difference.

[Canadian Dimes]

When I was in school the residents of ODonnel did not have balls.  But, there were rumors that some of the residents at Cobeen did.

[goodgreatgrand]

Different strokes for different folks. Now, would I ever make a video like that? No. "I spent most of my time occupying various administration buildings... smoking a lot of thai stick... breaking into the ROTC... and bowling. To tell you the truth, I don't remember most of it."

I managed to get on probation, get off it, get put back on and then attend graduate school at Cornell. Dont remember grad school either despite finishing last year.

"I went to Cornell, you ever heard of it? I graduated in four years. I never studied once. I was drunk the whole time, and I sang in the accapella group, "Here Comes Treble."

"I got into Cornell off the Wait List. A lot of people were like, "Oh, you just got into Cornell because your dad donated a building." No. Okay. I got into Cornell because I'm smart. I'm smart enough to have a dad who donates buildings to things."

[PuertoRicanNightmare]

I don't know anyone on campus who doesn't know who they are, so I'd say they are doing pretty well at making a name for themselves around campus

Of course everybody knows who they are....they're all pointing at them saying, "There are at those pillow biters who make those videos!"

[RawdogDX]

I understand that these guys are just having fun, but they have WAY too much time on their hands to be making these stupid videos. 

This is having a life in college.  Kids have grown up producing youtube videos.   What did you do on a Wednesday night that was so amazing?

I know what you did on Wednesdays rawdog.

2 guys, 1 case of beer, 1 couch and madden 2002

[TallTitan34]

If the Lonely Island did the exact same video people would love it.

[Canadian Dimes]

i went to the lanche, actaully did that the other 6 days too.

[Canadian Dimes]

Is that how otule broke his foot?

[Wade for President]

Sure the beat and chorus are questionable...but the lyrics are solid.  It's like Andy Samberg and all things Marquette (how can you not love or respect that?!?). 

Anbody that can drop Butch Lee and bursar's office in a rap, deserves praise.

[New Era Warriors]

I know what you did on Wednesdays rawdog.

Well whoever is asking what I'll be doing on a Wednesday night, I'll tell you: I have a paper due tomorrow so I will be at the library working on my paper. If I didn't have anything due tomorrow I would probably be drinking some beers while watching some games on t.v. If not, maybe hang out with friends? But I wouldn't be wasting my time making "stupid" (I'll leave the word "gay" out) videos like these. I respect the fact that you guys are thanking the alumni, but seriously? Those videos are super LAME.

[muhoosier260]

F-R-E-E that spells 'FREE', credit report dot com baby. Thats what I think of when I see this video.

[monpetit55555]

first of all, id like to say that the spanish o'donnells did another great job with making a video for marquette students, faculty, and alumni to enjoy and be proud of. i feel like those of you who are calling these guys "gay" either a. didn't receive any sort of scholarship aid, b. were waitlisted, c. are jealous of their songwriting and creative talents, d. are homosexual yourselves, and/or e. are just straight-up idiots. marquette did in fact ask these guys to write a song for the givemarquette foundation and make a video that will act as a marketing tool for alumni to give back to their alma mater. that's what happens when you have talent. you're recognized and get gigs for the things you're appreciated for. to those of you who are making fun of these guys for their work (and they do work very hard in school and receive good grades.. this is what some people like to call free time), grow up. i'm glad you're so selfish that you can't even realize that you're at an amazing school and that giving back to marquette post-graduation will affect the lives of so many students in the future who need your help. that's why these guys did this video. i know of several alumni (older, in the workforce, and a lot more mature than you inconsiderate undergraduates who are hating on the video) who have seen the video and have raved about it because it made them realize and truly understand the impact marquette has made on their lives and their career. it would be much appreciated if you stop all of the juvenile comments, reflect upon the importance of financial aid, cherish what you have here at this great institution, and quit acting like middle schoolers. you probably don't have one talented or creative bone in your body. you're welcome, so'ds.

There is a difference.

False... there is no difference as long as you leave after she falls asleep
Shout out to my CT Roomie who saved me from those girls 6-7 dozen times.

Pleasure myself, weep and repeat. Would rather have do that then finish watching this video.
Lyrics were clever IMO, but these guys seem like the self righteous douches on my twitter feed that tweet about how great MU was every chance they get and retweet everything MU puts out.

So being a student/alum who takes pride in his/her university is equivalent to being a self-righteous douche? Umm..... ok.

Untrue. There is a different level between the pride/support one has and the annoying kiss-ass smugness that can be attributed to this video and similar.

[mu_hilltopper]

Ok, guys.  Words were said.   Honor was besmirched.   Butt piracy was mentioned.  I laughed, I cried.  It was better than Cats.

I think we're done here.

[mu_hilltopper]

Hah.  One final bit about this video: Joe Fulce did the audio tracks.  The song was recorded in his dorm room closet.
