Over the top hate coming in 3......2......1.........

I would rather the basketball program disbanded then sit through another of these.

If they keep this up, I'm going to blame them solely for any losses this year.

You have low standards.

These guys can't graduate fast enough!

He always backs them

As a graduate within the past 10 years, I feel that I have a foot down on both sides: an appreciation for the history and tradition for Marquette, as well as an understanding of modern, new-age efforts to advance Marquette as an athletic program and an institution.
These guys are horrifying and contribute nothing of value to the Marquette community. Can't they "rap" about something not associated with the school? Or, maybe they could rap about the other schools in the Big East instead? It's psychological warfare.

just terrible....

good thing steve is still on the clippers

I don't even hate this stuff. It's just boring.

The Spanish O'Donnells are evil and must be destroyed.

No one is forcing Novak or D-Wade to appear in these videos. They clearly wouldn't do it if they didn't want to. So obviously they see some value in them.
I don't love these videos but think the hate is waaaaaaaay over the top. They are tuition-paying, Marquette students who love Marquette basketball. Ease up.
-

+1. I don't even bother to watch.
However, it bothers me that the administration keeps pushing these guys. It has clearly moved beyond "some guys having fun" to "Marquette sponsored crap".

Honestly, I didn't care about these guys when they were doing this stuff in their dorm room, but now they are co-branding their crap with MU, especially MU basketball.
To Vic McCormick, why ease up?? As Henry states, they have clearly move passed "guys just having fun." Their product sucks, the criticism is justified.
-
Gay. 8-)
-
That's really so bad its comical.
It's like a parody of itself.
I assume these are going to be shown during games, right? How else is MU distributing these? Outside of this board (which isn't MU sponsored) I have never seen any of these videos.
-

I'm pretty sure one of them is ROTC actually, so we can omit the tuition-paying part.
-
Gay. 8-)
So you're saying you love it...
-

Agreed. Similar to others, I don't really care much (my comment was more in Jest), but it seems odd to me that the University would semi-officially endorse these guys.
I don't hate them for doing what they think is fun, I'm just surprised that somebody thinks it's creative or clever enough for MU to set them up with these gigs.
-
If you guys hate the O'Donnells so much, why are you always posting their videos on here?

Tuition is paid for ROTC Students. It comes from Uncle Sugar. "Your Tax Dollars at Work"

Actually, I think they technically have to qualify for the scholarship (don't know the details on that), which sometimes doesn't happen until sophomore or junior year. I'm pretty sure everyone in ROTC eventually gets it, but not everyone gets a full ride all 4 years.
I had a lot of friends in ROTC. Some paid their way for a year or two.

Same question I have about threads on the topic of our former coach, or about what's on the Becky Badger board. Perhaps it's because certain Catholic boys really enjoy flagellation? We may never know.

Nothing like old alums on the internet to really show those college kids what's what!
Not saying I'm a fan of the O'Donnells, but let the kids have some fun. Don't need all the curmudgeons here to comment and break it down. Or at least put it in the Superbar.

It would be ok if they weren't TERRIBLE videos. but they are.

+1 we all did dumb stuff in college. It's mildly amusing, especially since Wade and Novak are in them. It's pretty cool that those guys don't think they are above being goofy with students.
-
I pray to the Lord these guys are seniors. They are an embarrassment to the University.
The admin. thinking these guys were good for the program is akin to New Coke.

Nobody is stopping them - we're just suggesting they stop :) But by including Novak (and Wade, and the team in others) - they made it relevant here.

Geeze, you guys all act like MU posting a Spanish OD's video was the reason we didn't get Quincy Miller, or that Kansas beat us in 2003, or the Big East dropping MU.
Come on, Like HoopsMalone said, we all did dumb stuff at MU that would make older alums cringe with embarrassment. This is basically the equivalent of that.

The difference is that a lot of my dumb stuff involved things that are 1) still under a statue of limitations and 2) videos that were funny and/or cool. These just are lame. Plus, the school didn't put out videos of ZF'FB in an implicit endoresment of said video.

its not that its dumb, its just impossibly lame... dumb is usually funny.

Lame is just lame and that is what this is. No talent whatsoever. If it was a spoof it would probably be funny. The funny thing is these goofs are serious.

Look, mister, there's... two kinds of dumb. Uh... guy that gets naked and runs out in the snow and barks at the moon. And, uh, guy who does the same thing in my living room. and Marquette says it is really creative. First one don't matter, the second one you're kinda forced to deal with.

No, as bad as they are the Spanish O'Donnell's is not the reason we were humiliated by Kansas in 2003. Look no further than the Bronzed Beast of Bloomington. His ridiculous game plan compounded by his inability to make in-game adjustments led to our being shamed before a national audience on basketball's biggest stage.

Some don't get the scholarship at all, but they may still get commissioned. I only graduated/received my commission this past December, and I don't recognize any of them being in Navy/Marine Corps ROTC, thank God.
Dwyane Wade's rapping as an 8 year-old is better than these guys will ever be.

Im not a curmudgeon, a pretty recent graduate actually, and I reserve the right to be embarrassed and pissed that this stuff STILL keeps going around. If it was one video then fine, not a big deal....but there are like 20 f*ing videos of them in Marquette gear or around the MU campus embarrassing our school and giving other schools great ammunition to insult MU.
Every school has one of these videos...but these guys KEEP popping up and now with MU official sponsorship, thats the annoying part.
These videos, songs, jokes, etc...are just plain lame.

I did dumb stuff while at the bars, drinking and making an ass out of myself....these guys put time, commitment, energy, creativity (barely), equipment cost and production into every one of these videos to be dumb.
Who works that hard to do "dumb stuff"?
-
Wow. You all are such tough, hard souls.
Sit back and think about what you are spouting for a second. Blasting kids who are in the prime of their life and are having some fun while at it? Its ridiculous. You don't have to enjoy it or appreciate, but what do you gain by blasting it? Nothing is the answer.
I just don't get the negativity over something so silly and simple. I am infinitely more embarrassed by most of the responses in this thread than I am by some silly 18-22 year olds having fun with something that clearly has an audience.
Personally, I don't really care for what they do. But, I am not going to go out of my way to blast them from my anonymous handle on a message board. To do so, would truly be "lame."
NOTE: I think questioning and criticizing whether the athletic department should have an official or quasi-official partnership with the group is fair game. But the personal attacks calling them "an embarrassment to Marquette University" are unneccessary. What is that saying about glass houses again?

So you are criticizing a message board for being critical? Welcome the the internet. Also, I dont think it is ridiculous for me to feel "embarrassed" by these videos.....I am an alum, you publicly represent my University, I have that right.
NOTE: I get your point, but when you make dozens of videos and put them on the internet you should expect some form of unfair criticism.

It's all Chicos fault.

You would not even be accepted to today's version of Marquette, so cut them some slack.

F on the creativity, but I'll give you the rest. I thought song parodies were funny and original when I was in 5th grade and Al Yankovic was big.

In an effort to redirect the topic, is it me or does Novak finally look like he added some bulk? Maybe it's just that the camera adds 10 lbs.

Regarding the Spanish OD's, i find them more funny than anything...
I am more embarrassed by all of you that have posted multiple times in this thread and others JUST to REPEATEDLY b!tch about these videos. You guys supposedly represent MU too, grow up!

They used to be funny and somewhat entertaining, I thought checkmate was hilarious and very well done, but lateley their stuff has been garbage and i have no idea how they keep getting MU basketball players in on their videos.

The best part of the video is Buzz jumping like he did in that game.
I was a big fan of Buzz before that, but him jumping like that in the baby blue jacket was flat out awesome and hilarious. ;D
Anyone have a full clip of the fabulous Buzz jump and leg kick after DJO slammed home a put back dunk?
-

It stopped being a fun college thing when they posted videos to the internet. My general rule is don't post things that you wouldn't say to someone's face. I'd say everything here directly to them. In fact, I think I already have! hah.

The only reason I can come up with as to why these guys make posters so upset is because they get access to past and present basketball players.
Seriously though, who cares what these guys do?

FWIW, these guys have a pretty legit student fanbase. They have a huge number in their facebook group. Although its definitely not members of this board, these guys are in demand. That's why the university is responding. Maybe its a generational thing. I have no idea. But just because you guys don't like them doesn't mean everyone in the MU community thinks the same way.
You can sit here and bitch about it, or use your time and energy talking about Marquette basketball. I'm not gonna stop you from enjoying yourself whining about these guys, but it looks pretty immature and, if nothing else, a huge waste of time. Enjoy yourselves...

Looking immature is what they do best in their videos.
As an alumnus, there's no way I can say, "Hey, check out them Spanish O'Donnells! They rock!"
Ultimately, the fad of these dudes will fade and life will move on.
Unfortunately, it's not moving fast enough for some of us. lol

I hardly think that they are targeted towards us alums. If the students enjoy it and the University enjoys it, who are we to bitch and moan? Let them do their thing, let's keep on doing our thing, and forget about it.
It seems silly how much you guys bitch and moan about how awful they are and how they are an embarrassment to MU. Things change over time. MU, and what kids find cool, isn't the same as it was when I graduated in '06 or for when any of you guys graduated. Just let it go.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. Can someone on The Warrior writing staff do a brief article to boycott the Spanish O'Douchebags? And then we can all go about our business and forget about them until they go on to continue and accomplish nothing but annoying others.

I see what you did there. You replaced Donnell with Douchebag.
Sweet burn.

Since these videos are hated so much around here, why doesn’t someone go post it on Dodd’s premium board first therefore preventing us from even discussing it around here for fear of copyright violations on the "insider" info?

Actually I saw that they were posted over there....and those guys over there seem to have a much more positive attitude about them.
-
I'm not offended at all by the Spanish O'Dbags (nice one), but they are definitely not cutting edge. It is a catch 22. If they were cutting edge, MU would definitely not sponsor them. You need to be kinda milquetoasty ( is that a word?) for University sponsorship. It's in the bylaws.

They suck. Don't put yourself out there if you don't want to hear the truth. I threw up in my mouth a lil bit when I heard Novak rap. So weak. Plus he should wear his suede blazer, that's his real uniform.

Ya'll made it 4 pages without me commenting so..
O'Douchebags...heh clever
I think the key was mentioned a few pages ago. Yeah it wasn't a big deal when they were just some lameass cute onegy guys in their dorm room making vids... but once the administration jumped on their cock and gave these guys access to basketball team and allowed Co-branding many people (here) got pissed off. They've gone beyond a level of tolerably annoying.
1600 facebook fans equals a following? what's that worth in internet dollars? Laughing baby has 2200 fans and Numa Numa guy has nearly 10,000 OOOOOOOOOOH. Justin Bieber has 15m+ fans and there has to be 3 times that number of people that'd like to see him get eaten by a Velociraptor
and be nice to the warrior... it was cool and cutting edge and poignant... once... like 4 years ago.

If you have a serious objection to this video, then you really need to check yourself with regards to what warrants your time and attention. This is some college kids making a fun video that promotes Marquette basketball. And, by the way, they got an NBA player to join in on the fun.
I'm neither a young nor an old alumni (Class of '97) so I can't really address what is "cool" to either group. I have no idea. But I do know that the Spanish O'Donnells should be taken in the spirit in which it is intended: to be fun and promote MU Basketball.
The "old guys" that are bitching are probably the same group that proposed a few years back that Bruce Springsteen's "The Rising" should be the song Marquette is introduced to at games. Times and tastes change, people.

Unfortunately, late in the game on that too. Other ACC schools like North Carolina have done that previously. They also had more balls and went with something more age appropriate than Miley Cyrus.
