A couple of points should be made here (boy, am I organized today):
1. The BU band stole the Bud Song from the Northeastern band, who stole it
from the Wisconsin folks back around 1987. The Northeastern band never
used to play it until one game in 1987 when Wisconsin came in, won a game
3-2, and had more fans than Northeastern (home) did. The fans marched out
with "When you say Wisconsin, you've said it all!" echoing throughout the
Back Bay. Suddenly the NU band picked it up, substituting Northeastern for
Wisconsin (nice fit since both have three syllables). I first heard the
BU band play it about a year or so ago, and I thought it was strange that
they were playing it since "Boston University" doesn't fit very well. But
they only play the song, they don't sing the end. And they sure weren't
playing it for the Wisconsin people because they have been playing it all
along. I just thought that should be cleared up.
2. Were the BU coeds' cute accents New York or Boston accents? I would bet
this week's pay that they were New York accents, because Boston folks can't
afford to go to BU. Also, a New York accent may be cute, but a Boston
accent isn't. It is the way Americans were meant to speak, ever since the
Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock. And will someone answer a question for
me? How could the Pilgrims have landed on Plymouth Rock? It's enclosed
in a huge stone building so no one can get near it. Call the people who
publish those history books, something isn't right here.
