This is a video tenure announcement set to Frank Stallone's hit "Far From Over" (1983). Thank you colleagues, friends, family, and students! Thank you KU! Rock Chalk Jayhawk! Brian
Now that THAT'S out of the way, on to my equally relevant and important comment:
I've been rollerblading for years, and still have yet to master the whirly-whirl! You truly are a master...I hereby grant you the title of Master Professor Blade Donovan.
On behalf of many, many faculty, may I just say that I could die of an ongoing combination of laughter (it hurts!) and insane jealousy that I didn't do something like this. Well done!!!
Very well done Brian! I noticed some Natalie influence in there-Jesus Christ Superstar- That RollerSkate movie with linda Blair-other assorted 70's 80's classic- Very Impressed!
It takes a montage, Montage! Show a lot of things happening at once, Montage! Remind everyone of what's going on, Montage! And with every shot show a little improvement, Montage! To show it all would take too long, that's called a montage..Montage! Girl, we want a montage, Montage! In anything, if you want to go from just a beginner to a pro, you need a montage!
Congratulations, Brian...both on receiving tenure and on a great video.

The beginner has turned pro. Sweet.
It's all about praxis!
Even Rocky had a montage!
