It’s the college football offseason, which means it’s time for teams to release silly videos. Maybe your team will release a #RunningManChallenge video or some other craze, but Troy takes the prize. This video shows the Trojans and their coaching staff dancing to “PIPE IT UP” by Migos:
The Troy Trojans made a dance video and discovered whole new realms of dabbing
Troy football is piped up.
They also whip and nae nae and dance to Apache by the Sugar Hill Gang, but I’d like to focus on their work to Migos.
First of all, I’d like to talk about the guy who found out the song they were dancing to was called “Pipe It Up” and brought an actual piece of pipe:
Secondly, I’d like to talk about Troy coach Neal Brown. An offensive whiz kid, Brown is just 36 years old. He graduated from UMass in 2002. Apparently, that is the last time he paid attention to what rappers do/wear, as he decided to wear a sideways visor and track suit like he’s Nelly.

This is like if Pablo Picasso painted somebody dabbing. There’s clearly grace in the motion, but at the same time, it’s disjointed. The jumbled nature of the form makes us think and appreciate the beauty.
DAB ATTEMPT NO. 4
Dabbing is strictly a dance, art for art’s sake. This man reminds us that we should strive to find art even in tasks we find menial. Here, he is clearly directing traffic at an airport, making sure each plane finds its runway. And yet he’s made the act beautiful.
Thank you, Troy. You’ve given us a wonderful video and taught us about the wonders of interpretative motion.
