Cowbell Girl Marches Through the Web, One Beat at a Time (Meme Alert!)

Monday evening, undefeated college football teams Boise State and TCU went head-to-head in the Fiesta Bowl. Why is this relevant to your interests? Not because of the outcome of the game (SPOILER!), but because the true star of the match up came from the Boise State's halftime show that featured their Blue Thunder Marching Band. As quickly as it came and went, a meme was born -- the very first of 2010!

May I introduce you to Cowbell Girl. Also known so far on the interwebs as Sad Cowbell Girl.

Of course, the internet just couldn't help themselves, and soon, the remixes and gags came pouring in.

First up, a wonderful mashup of the footage with SNL's famed 'More Cowbell' skit:

Or perhaps you'd like to join the Fans of Bored Boise State Blue Thunder Marching Band Cowbell Girl Facebook group? Seen any more goodies floating on the webs? Drop a link in the comments or e-mail us, and we'll add it to the post.

Update: It's come to our attention that the Cowbell Girl may be blind, so keep it classy -- we may not post all the tips that come through.

You might want to reconsider this post, according to SB Nation, BSSCG is blind:

However, I am impressed at the speed in which this got around the web.

Looks like a dog is helping her in this picture.
So let's make fun of the kid on crutches and how s/he is always out of step.

HA, that makes it funnier that she is blind. We can all tell she is no Ray Charles.
I was just waiting on The Joker to say "Why So Serious?"

I have been visually impaired since birth and am a junior in high school. I started marching clarinet in the eighth grade and don't plan on stopping any time soon. I have friends who marched in the Rose Bowl Parade with the Ohio State School for the Blind's marching band and several more who march with their public school bands. Needless to say, I know plenty of people who are blind and do marching band. It's not so much of a rarity any more and I didn't find anything funny about this video. It wasn't like she was off-beat or doing some technique thing wrong, so I don't understand what there is to laugh at. And, if you're going to make fun of the player with crutches too, that's just pathetic that you would stoop that low. I agree with the posts above-get a life and take a
serious look at your sense of humor.
