Who's ready for big boi?

I would rather see the American Idol loser than Big Boi. :o

I'd rather they set an 8-track player up on the 50 yard line and play a tape-warped copy of Rick Dees "Disco Duck" three times than sit through Big Boi --but hey, it's not about ME. I hope that the half time show is a success --I just care nothing about it.

I'm deeming it a failure right now as it was supposed to create ticket sales and the game isn't a sell out.
 
This is typical GT. A big time Atlanta celeb goes out on a limb for us and we spit in their eye. Do you really think Big Boi is getting anything out of playing a halftime show at our football game? An Outkast concert could easily fill up BDS all by itself. If this thing is a failure, it's going to reflect poorly on us and it is going to make other celebs hesitant about helping us later on down the road.

That is precisely why i was worried about the boo's. It would be typical GT to boo him off the stage - thinking they are being really cool or something.

I remember my freshman year in 1990. We had some kind of national championship celebration and we boo'd the governor.

I don't blame GT at all. Maybe they could have done a better job promoting it, but this game wasn't about doing something new and fun for our fan base, it was about attracting new fans. If you should be mad at anyone it should be Atlanta for not showing up.
 
Personally Kyle, I blame you...Yes, if it wasn't for your downtalking of the great big boi thousands more would have came. Camping even on sidewalks...
They heard you though Kyle, they heard about your love of this great American Idol singer and your dislike of all things outkast...
And, they backed away from this big boi...So, fool the others into blaming Atlanta...We all know where the real blame lies...
 
This is going to be the first halftime show that I've actually watched in a long time...

Outkast is awesome, and they are pillars of the Atlanta music scene. The athletic association choosing to work with Big Boi shows me that they know what Tech has to offer to recruits/students in their metro Atlanta location. Even half of Outkast is awesome, and I'm floored that some fonts on here are suggesting that such a unique halftime show idea is a bad idea.

Sorry guys, Perry Como wasn't available for the halftime show. You'll just have to suffer with Big Boi.
 
Now, don't dis the late, great Perry Como, either. He actually cut my grandpa's hair for awhile in Canonsburg, PA (he was still a teenager, iirc) :>)

What a great voice.
 
I seem to remember a lot of people saying how much they loathed him performing. It's like a mute point now.

We should be so lucky it'd be a "mute" point vs "moot" point...;)

We're hosting a bit of techwood at halftime by having a rap artist sing whose lyrics we wouldn't let our children download (yes, yes, he'll PG it up for GT) and an artist that has most people saying "what is a big boi" since they never heard of the guy before...and will never buy one of his cd's.... :rolleyes:

I hate debating this but you are so forcing me to...
Main Entry: 3moot Function: adjective Date: circa 1587 1 a: open to question : debatable b: subjected to discussion : disputed
Main Entry: 1mute Pronunciation: \ˈmyüt\ Function: adjective Inflected Form(s): mut·er; mut·est Etymology: Middle English muet, mut, from Anglo-French, from mu, mute, from Latin mutus, probably from mu, representation of a muttered sound Date: 1513 1: unable to speak : lacking the power of speech2: characterized by absence of speech: as a: felt or experienced but not expressed <touched her hand in mute sympathy> b: refusing to plead directly or stand trial <the prisoner stands mute>3: remaining silent, undiscovered, or unrecognized


This being said I was trying to say that this wasn't a moot point (i.e. debatable or disputed.) It was a mute point, meaning the subject dropped of the face of the earth and had been silent. So, silent in fact it was mute.

And, with that that being said you're right I meant moot in the earlier post but after you called me out on it...Well, dang it I had to go check the dictionary and try to make myself feel smart again...
 
humor. I want it to be "mute" not "moot" for big boi come Thurs.. oh, nevermind. Glad you feel smart again!!!:biggthumpup:
 
Guess the Atlanta Ballet is inviting Techwood in as well geetee? You have to be the most ill informed, prejudiced poster on this board, hands down.
 
lol...yep, prejudiced because why? please let me know. I don't care for the lyrics of his songs. Have you read the lyrics yourself for his top songs? Would you like for me to post those again for you? Would you allow your children to listen to them? Do you yourself listen to them or did you even know the name, big boi, before GT booked him? (seriously doubt it which makes your defense even more amusing). Yes, he'll clean up his language for halftime. If not liking this particular artist because I don't care for music that denegrates women, police, etc..makes one racist then you have issues. Defend all you want since you know so much about big boi.. :laugher:

Oh, and since you're such a big fan...why don't you buy one of his dogs. too.... ;)

So you think he's going to do one of the songs you don't like? BTW I happen to have kids 23, 21 and 17 so yeah, I've heard of Outkast, I know who Andre 3000 and Big Boi are and I've heard some of their songs and seen quite a few of their videos. I've also seem them in movie bits, etc. Successful artists don't stay in one cubbiehole, they have various sides to their personalities and their performances to appeal to different groups. If you don't like them as artists that's fine, but to continue to bang on this as if Tech is inviting gang members to Grant Field and our way of life it being threatened is what makes you come across as prejudiced. You sound exactly like the VT fans who are afraid to come to ATL because it's so dangerous.
 
Page 4 of this thread is why they invented ignore lists.

Geetee's ideal half time show:

Some quality song lyrics here (all different songs of big boi's)... because I don't care for them, and you obviously do, I'm a racist?! :laugher:

Every now and then, me and my kin, we get to bussin'
Not in the high school football game, I'm talkin' bout rhyme thrustin'
I'm talkin' bout line crushin', somethin's empty bumpin'
On the low straight out the oven like some blueberry muffins
We got the stuffing like some ? or somethin', macaroni, mackalicious
Mack a bitch or a woman, there is a difference
Not if the woman start bitchin', won't get in the kitchen
Male, chauvinistic, nah, ho, you missed it
I'm just kiddin', just playin', I'm just sayin' we humpin' around
Like the ghost of Bobby Brown and Stankonia lingerin' round
We have found proof of sound of our ground
When we've split in two parts, no one can block us now
Maybe top lock but we can't stop, let the great white head be severed
We weathered the storm, with feathers, something we treasure
(Well I never) and you never will, suckered up
The Dungeon Family is here to stay and we don't give a flying ****

--------------

We on our way to your neighborhood
The reason we comin' is understood
Me and my girls, we down to ride
So when ya hear us pull up, bring ya butt outside
And if tryin' to call your cousin and dem
Don't forget that I got some of dem
I'm bout to go real hard
Bout to swing them thangs
You bout to feel elbows all in ya brain

-------------

Pussy nigga what you doin'

[Chorus:]
(All day I dream about...)
(All day I dream about sex)
The way you move your sexy groove
I've got my mind all over you
(All day I dream about...)
(All day I dream about sex)
You say you were so sick of it
I'm tired of jackin' off cause you ain't there

[Big Boi]
65 Cevrolet Ipala peachy cream
Cruisin' down the street like two fingers
Cause the ivory is clean
Talkin' 'bout meetin' at the MC room
On the inside of the ship
Not a honey dip to hunt on
Cause she mobile than a grip
Or the Blue Man Group
Caught out on the Vegas Strip
Tell em' a good game, juju pimpin'
Give em' to my nigga Dime Legit

----------
Time an' time again I gotta tell dese niggaz an' dese hoes
I'm from College Park where we move dat weed an' we slag dat blow
Get dope on a daily basis
Get high make dem ugly faces
Pull the dro' an' I'm on probation
My blunts I don't be lacin'
I'm on Kryptonite
Come to my crib tonight
Let me beat dat puss all night
Run tell yo buddies I ****ed you right
Tell 'em bout all the plaques on the wall
Tell 'em how you licked my balls
Tell 'em how Konkrete run the streets
Big Boi, he put us on
 
those lyrics are so much worse than your random rock song from the 70s/80s/90s.....

what about Johnny Cash? "I shot a man in Reno just to see him die"

OH NOES!!!!11!!!1!
 
Oh the shark has pretty teeth, dear
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jack knife has MacHeath, dear
And he keeps it out of sight

When the shark bites with his teeth, dear
Scarlet billows start to spread
Fancy gloves though wears MacHeath, dear
So there's not a trace of red

On the sidewalk, Sunday morning
Lies a body oozing life
Someone's sneaking round the corner
Is the someone Mack the knife?

From a tug boat by the river
A cement bag's dropping down
The cement's just for the weight, dear
Bet you Mack is back in town

Louie Miller disappeared, dear
After drawing out his cash
And MacHeath spends like a sailor
Did our boy do something rash?

Sukey Tawdry, Jenny Diver
Polly Peachum, Lucy Brown
Oh the line forms on the right, dear
Now that Mack is back in town
