I went to Marshall University — it’s where everyone who’s anyone goes, back home. Have to learn the secret handshake.

Since the movie came out, most ppl prolly know our chant it WE ARE MARSHALL! Often as not, it’s shortened to WE ARE!

There was a big billboard near the campus that was in our school colors and simply said WE ARE!
I fancied that it was for our philosophy dept rather than our football team.

I ran the streets hard in San Diego between 80 and 85 full blown street dealing turf wars, pimping getting stabbed an shot at for the whole time.
There was this one guy who used to walk around wearing his Ghi with his black belt all the time.
I figured anyone who flaunted it and was so disrespectful really couldnt be shit. These were the days when everybody was Bruce Lee.
He started some crap one day and about 6 cops showed up. In about half a minute cops were flying everywhere. Right out of the fucking movies.
He actually threw one up on the car roof. Looked like Aikido or Judo.
He did go to jail.
AnnArbor was a pretty cool college town, I had a fucking blast. Was a doorman at the Pretzel Bell. Knocked out a linebacker with one of the display bells. Thing was about as big as a canteloupe.
I shit you not, it rang.

My alma mater’s initials are now FU. Yes, it looks less goofy than UH, but still kinda thoughtless on the school’s part.

The campus is in this small town that’s pretty slow and very conservative. Needless to say, everybody cards. I’d go about 30 miles away to a huge Division 1 university around which the whole town revolved. Every block had some kind of bar/tavern/club and nobody gave a shit about how old anyone was. Anything would go there, too. On Sunday morning, you’d see college kids sleeping on the sidewalks and in bus shelters like it was the most normal thing in the world. I once saw a guy so charged up on PCP that he could throw a 250-lb cop into a wall like throwing a rag doll. The town was so dependent on the school, it largely tolerated it all.

Yea, the rainbow can be confusing to be nice about it. In my day it was just green and white. But the cool thing was that I got early admissions when i was 16.
So I had a college ID. In my day if you had that the bouncer wouldnt even check it.
Or the liquor clerk. They just assumed you were 18, which was legal then.
Ah, the good ole days. fifty cent beers, open till four AM, tourist girls everwhere and there was no aids

I always laugh aloud when I see someone wearing a UH shirt, especially if it has the “rainbow” logo on it, because it somehow looks even more ridiculous. I know it’s rude, but I simply can’t help myself.

I went to the University of Hawaii.
But I never wore the shirts because they said ” Uh “

Where I went to college, you don’t call the police even if you really were robbed. Especially if you really were robbed.

If you admited such weakness, you’d be robbed weekly.
