Sweet Caroline

[jcyclonee]

Due to playing high school basketball in the late 70s I have a nostalgic soft spot for nut huggers.

In fact, when my parents moved out of their house a few years ago I found out my mom had kept my high school uniform. Pretty sure the boxer briefs I wear today would extend 2-3 inches below those basketball shorts.

Having played in the 80's in uniforms that I'm sure were purchased in the 70's, I can't believe how heavy and stiff those uniforms were. I'm not sure how I wasn't constantly chaffed. I guess sitting on the bench most of the time probably helped.

Tyrese Haliburton was trying to bring the short shorts back at ISU if you watch his footage here. Still short with the Pacers but not quite as short. Maybe an homage to all time assists leader Stockton.

That or hardcore barely legal pornography were the core inspiration.

Sometimes I wonder if he has a wheel with random people, things, or events that he spins during interviews.

"Neil, what is the true inspiration for Sweet Caroline?"
Spin
"I was inspired by the flavor of an apple I purchased at the grocery store." "I was inspired by an ad from TSR Injury Law."

Just leave the game early like all the blue hairs.

That's "OK Boomers" to you.

It was written on the back of a Dixie cup. It’s actually about killing a kid in a car accident and fleeing the scene. VH1 story tellers.

Now that you know the full story do you feel differently?

“We got out and, sure enough, he was dead .... So we just took off ... pretty fast.”

Music is not our strong suit, so the bar is pretty low.

FALSE.

Hate the song. Love the Juicy Wiggle.

 

[jcyclonee]

In a vacuum you are probably right...

After sitting through smoke on the water entrance videos, jock jams before tipoff, and Sweet Caroline cool-downs. All both generic and cringe (a tough combo to pull off might I add)

Juicy Wiggle is objectively not even arguably the worst 'thing' we put out there. The students make it look good and it's definitely unique.

Music is not our strong suit, so the bar is pretty low.

We should really stick to our strengths - Churning out nerdy engineers, creating world-changing inventions (e.g. the computer, the atomic bomb, Rice Krispie bars and Hooters), and drinking various host cities out of Busch Light.

White out, cardinal out, gold out, why not a juicy wiggle out? Some people would ##### if the found gold nuggets in their seat or free clone cones for everyone. GAFL!

It's an homage to me.

Why do people on here always get their panties in a wad about songs? If you don't like it, then just leave the building....I think most fans like it

 

[jcyclonee]

Ode to Joy or nothing. The whole thing.

I assume you just mean just the 4th Movement and not the entire 9th Symphony.

Just leave the game early like all the blue hairs. Beat the traffic and dont have to hear the music.

I don't think this generation of old people have blue hair anymore. You apparently don't pay any attention to cougars.

I am old. My wife is old. Juicy Wiggle is fine.

Is there a chance we get a Hooters in CyTown?

 

[CrossCyed]

Juicy Wiggle is the kind of song that parents think their kids listen to

 

[cmjh10]

Juicy Wiggle sucks. Don't @ me

You suck

Love is real

It’s hard to manufacture atmosphere which is why arena songs get played to death. I think there’s some lack of creativity at times but probably par for the course in college athletics.

We should have played “all my ex’s live in Texas” in honor of Tyrese. Really a missed opportunity there.
