You want killers to come, provide victims.
January 28th, 2022 at 12:14 PM ^
More than 111,000? That's asking a lot.
January 28th, 2022 at 7:10 PM ^
Eh, the official victim number is always inflated. The count all the janitors and concession people

I'll send you names and addresses. I have some grudges.

I thought for sure ESPN would have had them as the guest picker for College Gameday vs OSU. Maybe they asked and were turned down? The last two times GameDay was in Ann Arbor they've totally wiffed with the Chainsmokers (in 2018) and Sebastian Maniscalco in 2021 for The Game. None of them have any connections to the University.
January 28th, 2022 at 12:10 PM ^
Good lord, Sebastian Maniscalco was awful...not only did he pick OSU, um...he didn't make ANY jokes. Like, he's a comedian, right? Painfully unfunny. What was the point of having him on the show at all?
January 28th, 2022 at 12:14 PM ^
He's the classic old "Italians do things like this... Other people do this like that..." comedian.
Everyone I know under 40 finds him cringy. But my parents and all their friends think he's hilarious.
January 28th, 2022 at 1:01 PM ^
He's pretty funny. He's not a comedic genius. I'm 35.
January 28th, 2022 at 1:27 PM ^
Fair enough. But I'm almost 50. ;-)
It would have been one thing had he actually TOLD some of these jokes during the segment. Okay, they may have been cheesy, but at least that would have been...something.
January 28th, 2022 at 3:38 PM ^
I'm 43 and also find him cringy. Horrible choice for Gameday. Get James Earl Jones while he's still with us. The man is a treasure!
January 28th, 2022 at 3:45 PM ^
I'm 46 and like to think that I am generally culturally aware, and I've never heard of him. Off to the Google machine for me . . . .
January 28th, 2022 at 12:16 PM ^
Are you sure he's a comedian? There are a shit-load of comedians out there that even casual fans have heard of. Why pick him? Does he have incriminating pictures of Stephen A. Smith or something?
January 28th, 2022 at 12:19 PM ^
The Killers don't have any connections to the university. UM didn't invent drunk college students singing along with Mr. Brightside.
January 28th, 2022 at 12:31 PM ^
Maybe we didn't invent it...but we definitely took it to a level at least 1000 times any other assemblage of drunk college kids, and that's assuming that after the song's its initial run there were 100 people at a bar/party outside of Ann Arbor that were ALL singing along
January 28th, 2022 at 1:46 PM ^
Mr. Brightside was already a huge singalong meme well before it was played in the Big House. It's Gen Z's Don't Stop Believing. Sure, it's fun, but it's very far away from being at all unique.

January 28th, 2022 at 2:06 PM ^
Haha, fair. And that's me biting my tongue!
January 28th, 2022 at 3:50 PM ^
That's a big stretch.
January 28th, 2022 at 5:44 PM ^
My daughter, the most Gen Z of all Gen Z's, definitely associates it with Michigan. We have elevated it to the next level.
We own it now, the way the USMNT owns "I believe that we will win" . . . which actually originated at the Naval Academy Preparatory School, and then was used at the actual US Naval Academy.
110,000 people could have adopted anything, but we adopted Mr. Brightside. It's a part of us now and vice versa.
January 28th, 2022 at 3:33 PM ^
also we should celebrate and encourage things that fans come up with organically and are, you know, fun. When they catch on they're so much better than the ham-fisted ideas most venues force down our throats. These are the things that elevate the gameday experience and make being there worth something more.
In-person entertainment has been sterilized in recent years, most of the time justifiably, in the name of safety (terrorism, covid, Travis Scott etc.) It's up to us to figure out other creative outlets, to bring something new to the table, to keep ourselves entertained. so, just because we didn't invent music doesn't mean we can't make this Our Thing, or more accurately, one of Our Things.

Eminem was a big hit with Cheeseburger and Herbstreit....
January 28th, 2022 at 12:32 PM ^
That was one of the most awkward things - i think Herbstreit did well there.
January 28th, 2022 at 12:39 PM ^
those were some good drugs, that's all i can imagine.
January 28th, 2022 at 12:41 PM ^
I thought Herbstreit looked quite "WTF" whereas Musburger was well into his "IDGAF" stage and was having a blast.
January 28th, 2022 at 12:52 PM ^
reminded Herbie of hanging out on high street when he was in college

A hill on which I am willing to die a bitter, bloody death is "All These Things That I've Done" is their best song, better than "Mr. Brightside"
January 28th, 2022 at 12:16 PM ^
"When You Were Young" firmly disagrees.
January 28th, 2022 at 12:20 PM ^
Both of those songs are better than Mr. Brightside.
Mr Brightside still slaps tho
January 28th, 2022 at 12:33 PM ^
This is the correct response.
When You Were Young > All These Thing That I've Done >>>> Mr. Brightside.
January 28th, 2022 at 12:43 PM ^
When I saw them at Summerfest a few years back, they closed the main set with "All These Things I've Done" and "When You Were Young." The encore was "Humans" and "Mr. Brightside."
Yeah, goooooood show.
January 28th, 2022 at 1:59 PM ^
othernel wins....that is an amazing song.
I love a lot of the others too, but that's my favorite (so far).
January 28th, 2022 at 12:16 PM ^
I’ll join you on that hill and add that Mr. Brightside really isn’t a good song on its own.
January 28th, 2022 at 12:50 PM ^
Deception!

Superb song. Ever see the Nike commercial that uses it? Makes me tear up.
"Smile Like You Mean It" and "Read My Mind" are also better. The Killers have numerous excellent songs. Their most recent album was pretty good too.
January 28th, 2022 at 12:51 PM ^
My personal favorite from Hot Fuss is Jenny was a friend of mine. Man, what a great album!
January 28th, 2022 at 1:04 PM ^
Random story, I had a friend named Jenny who passed away (not even 20) right around when that song was released, and it messed me up every time I heard it.
