OSU- Attempt to create a rebuttal video.
Since we briefly talked about the awesome video by University of Oregon students titled I Love My Ducks, I smell roses, I decided to post the video of Oregon State’s pathetic attempt at a rebuttal (Pasadena Bound I Smell Roast Duck).
Clearly whoever made this video did not spend anywhere near as much time as the University of Oregon students, but maybe that’s just an indication of who is going to win
.
My dad forwarded this video to me after his boss, who is unfortunately an OSU fan, showed him both of the videos. Although I had already seen the UO video, I decided to watch them again, one right after another. It is very interesting to see the different tactics the two schools used. While the UO students were trying to show their spirit and love of their athletes, the OSU students are hardly talking about their own players at all, and are much too focused on bashing on UO. They try to position themselves against UO, and don’t bring any real spirit to their video. It is clear that this video was made with the intentions of being a rebuttal to the I Love My Ducks, I Smell Roses video, rather than a school spirit video.
That being said, I’ll keep this post short and leave it up to you to decide which video is better!
