Video: War Eagle! South Korean Students Cheer For AU

January 10, 2011

Even the South Koreans had War Eagle fever before Monday night’s BCS National Championship game.

A video shows a few hundred South Korean children screaming “War Eagle”. And some of the kids even have names like Bo, Jackson, Cam and Aubie.

The spoof video was produced by Lauren Bercarich, an American with a broadcast journalism background, who lives in South Korea.

“How many times has Auburn won the national championship?” Bercarich asks one child.

“One hundred and seventeen times,” the student replied.

“I’m pretty sure that’s impossible,” she said.

“That’s what teacher says,” the student replied.

And teacher Chris Lowe explained to his students in South Korea that Auburn did not play in the national championship last year, “because they were too good”.

Bercarich explains the video on her YouTube page:

“It’s true: Chris Lowe is an Auburn alumnus, he is an English teacher in South Korea, and he taught hundreds of his students some of his favorite Auburn chants and cheers to celebrate the Tigers playing in the BCS Championship. However, this video is a fictional comic take based on Chris’ love for all things Auburn. No, he did not actually name any of his students Bo, Jackson, Cam or Newton. He has not been teaching his students about Auburn football all semester long. Oh, but one more thing is true; Chris and all his students wish Auburn good luck against Oregon in the national title game.”

The video is posted at the top of this page. If you don’t see it, it is because your work, school or home firewall is blocking YouTube videos.
