Soulja Boy Makes Rockist Mack Brown Wanna Puke
Sasha Frere-Jones, while not necessarily unavailable for comment, isn’t gonna be called about this, either. From the Austin American-Statesman’s Bevo Beat.
Texas head coach Mack Brown said he knew nothing of the “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” dance, which has become a YouTube sensation, until he saw his team dancing to the tune during its game at Central Florida.
“If we were having a dance contest, we would’ve won,” Brown told the Austin Longhorn Club on Thursday.
“Do y’all do this all the time?” Brown quoted new assistant Larry Mac Duff as asking him that day. “I said, ‘I’ve never seen it before.’ “
Despite his jokes, Brown made it clear that he wasn’t amused and told his team that he didn’t want to see any more sideline displays. “Why don’t we start tackling and stop dancing,” he says he told the team.
Brown is decidedly old-school on such things. He doesn’t care much for individual celebrations, either. And that’s putting it mildly.
“I can’t stand it,” Brown said. “It makes we want to throw up.”
