UNI dance craze?

Re: UNI dance craze?

Sitting between the Drake and SIU fans I heard numerous complements. One of the SIU fans was even asking if we were taking the dance to the dome Both were finding the sCUm students to be inappropriate and arrogant in their behavior.

As much as I usually agree with TP, I disagree with him here. Jump Around is played at almost every arena in the country... why not the Interlude? No matter how far or how frequent it is played, we will always know it to be ours.

I disagree. I like the interlude being a UNI exlusive thing. For a small school like ours, it helps with branding and name recognition. Plus it would help with getting more games televised, articles, etc. No one will care who invented it if everyone started doing it.

We didn't look like fools walking out the Scottrade Center with a W on friday either.

Actually the 45 year old Creighton fan (estimated age) trying to pick fights with UNI fans sort of did.

Re: UNI dance craze?

Well I guess thats a good thing, would not want to be going home on Friday like you guys. But hey you have a silly dance so its ok.

and blowing a double digit lead and losing by double digits one day later was that great?

I didn't say don't play it, I was just saying not to do a school oriented dance at the conference tourney. If it becomes widespread and everyone starts doing it, then cool, but for just our fanbase to do it on the road doesn't seem that cool to me. (obviously it's always great that people are having fun)

If one person started doing the Interlude, he would seem like a crazy man; a spectacle.

If a few people started doing the Interlude, it would seem as though they were having enough fun not to care what anyone else thought. It would create interest.

If many people started doing the Interlude, it would look like a charming little farce; a fun little dance that some small school created for the sheer enjoyment of it all.

If the majority of the people started doing the Interlude, it would be a glorious statement; one that everyone seems to identify with or wants to be a part of.

If EVERYONE did the Interlude, you would have perfection.

Re: UNI dance craze?

If three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in
dancing a round of UNI Interlude and walking out. They may think it's an
organization.

And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day,I said
fifty people a day walking in dancing a round of UNI Interlude and
walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.

Re: UNI dance craze?

Was just searching out the training video for the Interlude on youtube (had to pass it along for others to learn) and found several clips of Johnston HS doing the Interlude during half time of their BB games. The best part is the students wearing ISU and UI t-shirts doing the dance. Even if they don't realize it, they are learning that UNI is a fun place to be!

Johnston video

Also, the comments section on the video stated that Beckman also did the dance during their districts game.... the dance craze is slowly spreading....

Re: UNI dance craze?

My small and minute personal opinion but i think we should leave the Interlude at home. I can guarentee if another school got a special song played for them in St. Louis there are many on here who would be livid!! It's best done in the privacy of our home arena.

I didn't get to the men's tournament, but it looked good at the women's tournament in St Charles. Actually quite impressive to see the cheerleaders, band & fans all doing it. Best thing was at the end of the post game awards after we got the trophy, they played it again over the PA system, and then the players joined in as well. Pretty damn cool...

Re: UNI dance craze?

We did it 3 times total. The band played it pre-game, over the P.A. in-game, and post game. The MSU fans were just stunned. Of course, they were stunned by the game. I think it took the Bears 13 minutes to get to double figures! They were reduced to cheering when their team would finally make a free throw.

I think it is neat how Tanya and her other coaches really get in to the dance themselves. The team is really having fun along the journey this year. A lifetime of memories.
