Who here knows about this?
In the Marcus Freeman press conference yesterday, found on all the sites, somebody asked him about his T-Shirt he wore at practice that said WOPU vs Everybody. He said it was a gift from the WOPU Nation. I'm thinking WOPU Nation? What tribe is that? So, I googled it thinking I'd find that there was an Indian Tribe based somewhere historically in the South Bend area and somehow, he connected with them. But it's not it's the name of the Organization that the Football Walk-ons created for themselves. They have a website and soon they will sell you that T-shirt. It's an interesting website, go visit it.
Although I still don't know what WOPU stands for, Walk Ons PU?
ON HIS "WOPU VS. EVERYBODY" SHIRT HE'S WEARING
"This was a gift from the WOPU nation. Today we had scout kickoff and kickoff return. Look, I don't like people just standing on the sideline, so I try to coach up the scout team a little bit so I told them I'm in support of them. My scout team, which has some walk-ons on that scout team, I told them I was in support of them."

If he doesn’t do great things I’ll be surprised.
I prefer dago or spaghetti bender.
but calling us WOPS is, to my family, a pretty heavy racial slur.
As a child, I witnessed by slight, but very gritty, grandfather drop a much larger man with one punch after being called a dirty little WOP. He would also only tolerate being called Dago by fellow Italians.
I think it's time we retire these words.
Dago wop wop wop.
This joke stolen from my high school Latin teacher. He would howl at how hilarious he was after telling this joke.
But in the last few it gained some attention because of Mick Assaf talking them up every time he got in front of the camera.
circa 2012. That was led (I think...) by KLM and Golic Jr., but featured the walk-ons a decent amount. Joe Schmidt’s ascendancy to captain also helped.

The seal on the website says "Proud Union".
Why is it green and orange, though?
