Most punchable face in the Big 12

I just wish we did our own unique thing for once (RE Mr Brightside). It's a great song, but it doesn't belong to us.

You're right, it belongs to anyone that wants to play it. No one school can claim it belongs to them because they played it first.

I mean something that only ISU does.

Like how Iowa has "In Heaven There is No Beer". I'm incredibly jealous of that.

If we're going that genre, having the whole stadium attempt to sing some Misery Business by Paramore would be more entertaining.

If you’re jealous of Iowa, it sounds like you have other issues

Nate Heise I ******* hate that guy.

Fair point.

A lot of universities play Mr. Brightside. It doesn't make a ton of sense based on the meaning of the song, but whatever gets them pumped. I think they just love to sing "destiny is calling me" and tune out the rest of the lyrics. I get it, I was young and drunk once.

I tell my daughter she was meant to love the song since my wife and I saw The Killers when my wife was 8 months pregnant with her. Great show. My wife didn't have as much fun as I did for some reason.

Only once?

The only things about Iowa I envy are that song, and being born into a nice family that lets them have nice things without contributing, instead of stabbing them in the back at the first chance.

I miss the bearded fat ballerina from years ago that ran around Hilton and got fans amped up.

Only once?

To be fair, it lasted a long time

The song Mr. Brightside is old. None of these college kids were born before it was released. It died along with the rest of Emo when Sugar We're Going Down single-handedly killed that obnoxious genre (thank God). It's weird that it's been resurrected and seems more popular than ever. Like Don't Stop Believing. Decent songs, but they've just been run into the ground at this point.

Mr Brightside never gets old. Never dies!

As a big Killers fan I’d actually prefer “All These Things That I’ve Done” as the lyrics make more sense for a victory. And still can get the crowd amped once it reaches the bridge.

Is it just me or does Emanuel Sharp have some resemblance to The Predator? Dude was on last night until he got in foul trouble.

Be jealous no more! Everything is stolen.

Just like the Gator Chomp and O-H-I-O.

FRAUDS

I was at ISU at the time and I'm 100% serious that this was ISU linebacker Jared Brackens and the ballerina character was known as Gladys Hefty.

Fleming could probably take this torch and run with it, but he won't be in Houston long.

Right- because Emo has been so relevant since then.

Also The Killers have never been Emo, so there's that.

It kind of merged with a few other things into modern metal/metalcore (which is popular and has stayed around awhile). Seemed to be a split on all of the screamo/emo/pop punk/punk groups around the early 2010s or so where some died out, some flipped to more pop scenes, and others flipped more towards the metal side.

Speaking of that: Fall Out Boy is still around, by the way (see the "moved more towards pop" grouping above).
