SOULJA BOY: A DISEASE FOR MASCOTS

PrintThe pandemic of the Soulja Boy has found a perfect host in the organism we call a college mascot. Originally, we believe it was introduced into the population by Sebastian the Ibis, who cranked his original version in the OB with the sort of verve and authority in urban dance you've come to expect from the Miami Hurricanes.
Doing Randall Hill proud, we say. The next logical stop was Maryland, the epicenter of white boy hip-hop annexation.
Testudo's version is, by necessity, an inferior one, since it's not Sebastian the Ibis representing DA U (make the sign with your hands at home as you say this,) and he's lacking a certain rubbery bounce in his step. We blame the shell.
Finally, it traveled up the highway to Blacksburg, where the Hokie's turned it into some sort of move usually reserved for polka choreography (though that is a superb Superman move he does.)
We pass him as well for being a dancing turkey. The humor's in the wattles, really.
Finally, the Soulja Boy craze has even infected those corridors of our society most impervious to the effluvia of popular culture and whimsy: our own military academies.
Well, it is thematically appropriate, even if we cringe at the notion of future Army artilleryman suggesting that by laying down a massive barrage of bombs and shells on an enemy camp they would "truly be supersoaking that ho." (That's probably destined to happen anyway, but we don't have to like it now, do we?)

i’ve never seen a year in which mascots get so much pub.

I am soooo happy you stopped at four video clips of the Soulja Boy. A fifth would have brought about the return of Gozer, and the end of the world as we know it.

Let’s see… grown men in cartoonishly anthropomorphic costumes… Soulja Boy…
Yes, yes, it seems all too familiar…

I love mascots. I can watch 1000 YouTubes of mascots every day at work.
In this case, it’s clear the DA U gets the edge but the Hokie is a close second because his version made me LOL & spit water.
The Soulja Boy dance would obviously be a competition on my hour-long mascot show that I’m trying to get Versus or the Big Ten Network greenlight.

Man… I guess they were serious about blocking YouTube at work…
Now I’ll have to actually check this out at home.

Unfortunately, the Georgia fanbase has been infected with this stupid, stupid song and awful, awful dance.
T Kyle at Dawg Sports even suggests the song should replace “Krypton Fanfare” at the beginning of the 4th quarter at UGA home games. Ugh.

USF mascot doged the bullet against WVU and didn’t do the dance. . . but every white, drunk, uncoordinated student did. It was a HORRIFIC display of lameness.

The song may be ass, but these mascot dances justify its popularity.
Let’s get the Oregon duck in on this!

the NCAA should make it mandatory for the rest of the year… that way, every school’s athletic website could have their mascot doing that on the front page.

The entire SC State marching band did it at the halftime show in Columbia a few weeks ago. You try doing it with a Sousaphone wrapped around your torso.

Do yourself a favor. Crank up the volume if you are at work. Full size the window for full effect. Have the Texas football team ready to go in another window as well. Then simultaneously start the Miami, Maryland and Army videos along with the Texas video.
Bask in the glory of mascot and hip hop line dance goodness.
Shake your bosses hand as he offers you a promotion and raise.
Leave work early and get a drink. You’ve earned it.
You’re welcome.
If we could somehow get all the mascots and the Texas team together on one field and play this song. It would inspire heretofore unknown levels of dance badassery and glory for the United States of America.

The dance is stupid, the lyrics are stupid – but damn, the instrumental version really did inject some life into the UGA game. And hell, we scored 21 unanswered after it played, so I’m all about bringing it back.
But no, not by the marching band.

I’m definitely opposed to the mass expansion of this, but only after Big Red gets involved.

This is nearly an epidemic. If your mascot has been in the same state as a mascot doing this retarded dance, please put him down now. It’s in everyone’s best interest.

I hate this song. Yet I find the pandemic hilarious and have no qualms seeing it spread.

It’s even translating over to the players. Witness the Texas Longhorns at UCF:

The Terrapin must have a non-rhythmic white guy in the suit. Because he dances like me – shitty.

It makes sense for Miami, with the “Youuuuuu” business, and their general ghetto-ish vibe, but otherwise this is just a stupid song.
Georgia Tech Keeps it classy with the upcoming Big Boy halftime performance in a month when we play VT on Thursday.

Maryland, the epicenter of white boy hip-hop annexation.
It’s funny ‘cause it’s true.

Looks like the epidemic has spread to the frat boys at VaTech.
Bonus points to the dude at 3:00 doing his best big booty ho rap video impersonation.

Can someone tell me during the Miami one what did the crowd chant when the mascot did his hand thing? (besides the U)

Gentlemen, Behold…this is the epicenter of white boy hip hop to the nth degree..

I hate that song. And Miami. And Maryland. And Virginia Tech. Actually, that song and the ACC.

Sammie and Jay are enraged by all of these postings:

and Sammie and Whitlow both agree that there should be a death penalty for all such idiotic, shitty, boring mascots like the ones that you assholes posted on this site. Jay and Sammie and Whitlow and even eric y will not, and I repeat will not, support, sponsor, entertain, visit, discuss, view videos of, or in any other way acknowledge the existence of such folly and thank you jay and sammie and whitlow and eric y for clarifying this for us.

Its infecting the pros also.
They played it at the Georgia Dome with Falcon and football specific lyrics and later played a video with Freddy Falcon doing the dance.
I haven’t been able to find the video anywhere yet.

Ok, that VaTech one is fucking hilarious…I have to agree about the three minute mark, but what makes it better are the facial expressions, the shit eating grin facial expressions…DAMN that shit is funny.

This is the real song the Longhorns were dancing too.

I had never heard this “Soulja Boy” song until I heard it on this site. So, thanks…assholes.

Knock the Irish all you want, but it’ll be a cold day in hell before the Leprechaun would ever do that dance. I’m jus’ sayin’…

damn, I didnt realize soulja boy was popular! I remember listenin to “YAHHHH BITCH” a year ago and nobody knew who he was. This song aint his best, and this dance aint his best, but I think this puts it best: “It’s a whole lot better seein 700 kids doin this dance at a rap concert than beatin the shit outta eachother.”- anonymous poster at ahotmess!
