POWER TOWEL WOOOOOOOOO: K-STATE'S HORRIBLE PREGAME VIDEO

I was going to say something nasty about Manhattan, KS but I’ll just let Pete do it in …3 …2 …

dude, that Cat needs a band. I know talent when I see it, and that ’cat has “IT”.

Another ‘tomahawk chop’ chant. And they’re not even indians. huzzah!

That alone is justification for Auburn to cancel the return visit to K State. No penalty.

God, that song is awful. I mean, truly awful. The sort of awful that makes John Blutarsky smash the guitar against a wall.

On another thought, K-state’s Willie the Wildcat is even lamer than Northwestern’s…. at least ours wears a fur suit, which comes in handy around November.

Willie the Wildcat’s reply, “No, you’re a towel”

Towelie should become the mascot, since he’s the worst character ever.

I’m pretty sure you meant orgiastic meat consumption, but I think eat consumption actually works better.

’Ol Drippy loves this new tradition

Most bizarre mascot ever. That’s no wildcat, it is some type of minotaur creature, head of a wildcat on body of a man. A Minofeline.

It is scary though. I wish it would stop pointing at me.

While that video is hideous, it’s not nearly as gay as this one:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=pVENWl8uBeg

which I hope has flooded Ann Arbor-based message boards incessantly.

It’s gayer than 8 guys blowing nine guys.

Ron Prince = Appstate alum

Appstate alums = rock-climbing, tree-hugging potheads, so I’ve heard

Thus, Ron Prince = the same.

Soooo, the Towelie nickname is more than apt. It’s downright syllogistic.

The girls in the Robert Palmer videos played better air guitar.

That’s SENATOR Blutarsky to you, PJ.

to paraphrase Real Ultimate Power:
1. KSU mascots are mammals.

2. KSU mascots fight ALL the time.

3. The purpose of the Mascot is to flip out and kill people (and wave a towel)

Yeah, there is no way to defend that shit. If I try, I’ll feel like a Michigan fan defending losing to a 1-AA team.

Since I saw that yesterday I’ve been waiting for this post on EDSBS…thanks Orson…fucking thanks. What did Ron Prince ever do to you? You have become petejayhawk’s lapdog!

We do however contend that Willie is in no way inferior the fetus looking blowup doll that passes for Nebraska’s Mascot.

None of this would have happened if Bill Snyder were still alive.

Also, Toddly – Lil’ Red can walk on his head. Can your mascot walk on his head? No, he cannot. Good day, sir!

Most HS’s have better mascots than that abomination.

1+1=3 when you take the Hawaii player’s story about some girl wanting him to bang her with his gear on and add banging a girl with nothing but the KSU head and you get a whole much much larger than the sum of its parts.

oh fuck wipes tears from eyes I think this one is funnier than the App State one. A “power towel”? That’s original, rofl! And where is the rest of the Cat costume? OMGWTFBBQ!!!!!!!!!!! Nice music too. fuck this is too funny.

The opening 5 seconds of this video is the lamest 5 seconds in sports, the dude acts like he’s not even sure where the camera is. oh, the humanity

Worse than “Hot, Hot, Hot”. I’m serious.

Prince should have given his left tackle the cat’s head AND a towel…maybe that would have slowed Groves down a tad…

Jebus, just check the video description and associated tags for my feelings on KSU.

“None of this would have happened if Bill Snyder were still alive.”

I think Bill Snyder is technically alive, but he’s been dead inside since about 1998: and you’re probably right.

You can also order your own Lil’ red out of the advertisement section of a Hustler magazine…which is pretty cool I guess. Kansas State has devoted significant research funds to giant paper machet head technology hence our giant paper machet head is the most advanced in the extensive giant paper machet head world.

Fucking sad.

Now that’s how you create tradition.

Maybe I’m in a crabby mood today, but why don’t any of the damn pictures have line breaks before the caption?

Don’t mess with the Justified Ancients of MuMu, bitches!

I laughed so hard I just farted blood.

Tommy “Jug’Ears” Tuberville already tried this schtick when he tried to make Jordan-Hare “The Jungle”. He even had the same bumper music.

If only he had thought of the “power towel”.

(Yet another obligatory Bama – Auburn threadjack)

Lighten up, Francis, there’s football on tonight.

So Orson, what did you think of Clemson’s “Zombie Nation” abomination?

Lloyd Carr needs to take the K-State kitten over to his garage to show him his buckets.

Whose idea was it for the chant to be a rip-off of a segment from an 80s hair band show (take your pick from a number of bands, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see one of the guitarists from Britny Foxx under that head.)
Oh, and the beginning of the song/chant sloppiest sweep picking I’ve heard since I drank too much Rebel Yell and thought I was Yngwie Malmsteen.

This might actually explain the fourth quarter against Auburn.

Ron: (listens to band) “It’s the melody to Funkytown!”

Ron, concentrate on the game.

“What game? I have no idea what’s goin’ on.”

It’s also 1.) totally scoreboard driven, and not cued by the band or the crowd.

Not true. They’ve actually hired Steve Buscemi from the Wedding Singer and he will take his cues from the drunkest of the drunkards in the student singer.

Best guitarist in the world!

That chant is embarrassing.

As a Georgia fan, I was also embarrassed last year when the athletics association came out with the “We Are Georgia” towels. It didn’t last.

Don’t white towels signify defeat?

I believe it was Brittny Foxx (the t’s match the x’s), Will. If you’re going to drop Malmsteen you should know how to spell them as well.
You’re welcome.

I prefer Eric Johnson, myself.

I still contend that Ron Prince is an operative working undercover for some other Big 12 school whose sole objective is to completely decimate the Kansas State football program.

This video is proof positive.

Ah Via Musicom ftw.

I suggest a towelie-ban.

And regarding “Hot Hot Hot”, I think ASU may as well embrace it at this point. It’s honestly become cool.

Willie makes Hulk Hogan in the “Real American” video look like fucking Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Robert, while it is bad, it is in no way worse than the, “WE ARE… CAROLINA,” chant you are attempting to create.

Let’s think about the above for a second:

1. WE ARE.. Penn State! That has been done for years and years and years, and you are attempting to rip it off. Let’s try to be remotely original. At least that strangled chicken sound after every TD or FG, I forget b/c you people don’t score too often when I am at Death Valley East every other year, was original. The first down thing, “and that’s another…Carolina first down!” is also copied and unoriginal, but I forget where that came from, and is not as blatant as the, “WE ARE…” cheer.

2. You are not Carolina. Nobody in the other 49 states in the United States refers to you as Carolina. You don’t have a winning record against Carolina, you don’t have as many conference titles of any sort as Carolina, and your school, obviously, does not compare to Carolina. Again, you are not Carolina.

While we’re (that’s the royal “we”) on the subject, I listened to Steve Vai’s Passion and Warfare last week for the first time in about 10 years and it made me weep like a little boy in a Henne jersey.
It plum blew mah mind all over again.

JHC,

I can’t wait to get home…it’s going to be a guitar-heavy evening on the hi-fi.

With the head of a cat and the body of a human, I guess their mascot is really more of a “Reverse Sphinx” than a wildcat.

Pete,

Purple Drank + Vai/Johnson = ethereal experience

i used to keep a “power towel” beside my bed in college. and sometimes it was a “power sock” or “power t shirt.”

I wish we had tradition at Auburn. All we’ve got is the Tiger walk – Bama copied it – and saying Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Eagle, HEY at kickoffs – and Bama copied that too. All we got is the eagle anymore. We should get Tiger Towels. That would be unique. But if Bama copied that, would they call it the It’s Rollin Baby Towel?

Rumor has it, if you slit Willie the Wildcat’s throat, he will start ejecting PEZ.

I want to see Willie doing the ‘doggy bounce’.

And replace that GUI-tar with a KEY-tar.

Willie is SO in my imaginary garage band.

http://weebls-stuff.com/wab/band/

Please, please, please, someone tell me they have a link to Kentucky’s “We Believe!” football intro video from last year. It’s hip-hoptacular.

Maybe Auburn should copy the Tide and win a MNC in the color television era…

Power towel sounds like something you need when you’ve just taken a particularly brutal graduski after a night of eating 911 chicken wings, sour-kraut balls, beer and stuffed jalapenos.

Hmm.. Toilet paper just won’t cut it for this one… "Honey can you bring me the power towel?.. Yeah, the purple one… "

I haven’t guitar licks like that since Hulk Hogan.

Methinks the best use for the power towel would be cleaning up after the activities described in post #18.

That head is just an abomination. I bet it gives nightmares to little kids everywhere.

1. - +1 sir, plus one.

Double post here, but I am taking issue to the concept of waving a towel around being called a tradition, even if it was 50 years old. It’d still be called “waving around a towel like a moron,” I believe. You want a tradition, here I can come up with a better tradition out of my ass…dress your cheerleaders and dance teamers up in sexy kitty Halloween costumes. Thats encouragement right there kids.

What’s Mr. Clean want you to bring a power towel to the stadium for?

Coop – you slay me… neigh, you complete me. All we need is a good Mike the Tiger story from Joshy and a Big 10 rulz post from tOSU and I will have lived a full 3:45 work break.

oh, and someone to tell me I used the wrong homophone – that would do it.

Don’t worry War Eagle, we’ve reached an agreement with the Tide. We get to keep our new annual “Win the Iron Bowl” tradition, and they get to keep their tradition of sticking their fingers in their ears and shouting “National Championship! National Championship!” whenever our new tradition gets mentioned. I happen to like the agreement, myself.

Being born and raised in Manhattan KS and going to K-state for school. i must say, this is the biggest lump of crap i have seen since after Mangino ate at Sirloin Stockade. i mean, c’mon… it looks like willie is rocking out on a screen saver. this is exactly what we need to get pumped. the fruitiest video since being Rick-Rolled.

dress your cheerleaders and dance teamers up in sexy kitty Halloween costumes

The first time I read that, I processed it as “hello kitty halloween costumes.” I know that cosplay is a little easier to take than tentacle porn, but I didn’t see how it was going to get anyone other than Willie the Wildcat riled up.

Actually, I’d be entertained to see that nevertheless.

As a KSU fan I could not be more proud.

It’s beyond hilarious, and gaining us some national recognition! Thanks random blog!

This video is going to set lycanthropy back 100 years.

Please God never let my university make a video like that!

Sadly, this is the coolest thing k-state has ever come up with.

Aubies:

Yes, you have quite the Iron Bowl streak going. No excuses here. It is an impressive streak.

But, at the end of the day, I still know what it feels like for my team to win a MNC, something you know absolutely nothing about, unless you are old. Please don’t talk about things you don’t understand.

[/fingers in ears]

The only thing that could make that video cooler is if Matilda from LifeForce came out, naked of course, and sucked the life out of that mascot head.

The Willie Chant would be cool if K-State constantly played in an 80’s movie.

Yes, you invented the (insert team name here)-Walk. Before, players had to either parachute onto the field, or scale the walls of the stadium to get inside. Some teams even decided to just play the games in the parking lots.

Thanks for that Auburn.

Still, he does have the Urban Meyer point move downpat.

Was Willies head purchased off the set of JAWS II? Seems more shark than feline.

So did they put this thing in the can right after Back to the Future was made, and they’re just breaking it out now? ‘Cause it looks like some of Willie’s guitar moves are straight from Marty McFly at the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance. “Trust me, your kid will love it!”

All of a sudden I have this urge to hear some Shotgun Messiah.

Really long intro, random "hey"s, chanting “k-state”, listening to a wailing guitar over a PA system.

This has all the makings of a great tradition.

#32

Yngwie Malmsteen? Did you release the FOOKIN FURY?

Hey, don’t make fun of the mascot, that’s their 2nd string QB after Prince chased the rest off the team. One unfortunate hit on Freewoman and she’ll be moved out to Left Tackle and you’ll see that massive head running for his life out there.

I was thinking Ron Prince was an up and coming coach, but after this shit, no way I want him coming to my school and “starting a few new traditions”.

Actually I think K-State’s Willie the Wildcat is pretty cool! He’s unencumbered by a full body costume, so he can actually DO something like participate in cheers and get the crowd worked up. I’d say you’re all a bit jealous like me. The towel and video ARE kind of lame, but Willie is one of my top 3 mascots in the country! Go state!

All the power towels in the world won’t do anything if no one shows up for the games. K stae should do something to get fans in the stands and sell out some games first.

Reason # 562 to not go to a K-State game: “I forgot my power towel.”

1. OOC-

I know I’m a day late, but since no one else did it: it’s “nay”. Hope that helps.

That video ranks up there with David Hasselhoff music videos.
Not familiar- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgX-hiQdfFw

ITs get uncomfortable when he tries to pick up, from what I can only imagine, are his daughter’s friends.

Willie is THE best mascot in all of college football. I might agree with you on some other points, but Willie is the best.

What the fuck is going on on this website. Who writes this shit, some KU fan? This is fucked up! Grows some balls and have some respect for other peoples ideas.

Seriously, who writes this? They don’t even put their name down for a little recognition. My god, what a bunch of pussies.

Willie the Power Rat.

Is it safe to say this is the new “Hot Hot Hot”?

Anyone that thinks their “Thats another (team name) first down” or (Team name) walk, or “We are (team name)” is their own and someone else is copying it is retarted. No K-State fan is proud of this video, we all know its stupid and make fun of it, but we still have more athletic history than most of the country. So who cares what retarted videos Pat Bosco might make. Does that really matter?

Wow…My bloods always purple and always will be…so those are kind of some low blows! I agree…the writer of this had to be KU…the video..yes, and I agreed I was iffy about the towel, but I sat across from the student section…it was fricken awesome watching all the power towels going! ROCK ON STATE…!

I like the part about the girl named Lexi bleeding purple… I wonder if that’s just once a month after praying she’s not pregnant and who the father might be???

The power towels at Auburn were all needed for cleaning tubby’s ears.

You guys d-don’t like my chant? :-(

GO K-STATE AND ALL U WILDCAT HATERZ SUCK!!!

This has got to be the gayest fucking thing I have ever seen. Holy crap, that is down right pathetic, what an embarassment for the college rejects, right up there with being scared to play Fresno st, and signed on Montana st! Dont forget your powder towels pussies. Ron Prince will be there 2 yrs at most, then the shitty kitties will be back in the cellar with Baylor, and since at least Baylor is a decent school and K-state is nothing but a juco, and always plays the easiest non-conference schedule in the Big XII, they should be sent to the WAC… oh wait they’re scared of Fresno, so maybe the sun belt conf.
