I think they are actually saying 'Let's go Branden!' They must be NASCAR fans.

UNC-Chapel Hill frat boys defended the US flag after protesters tried to take it down to replace it with Palestine flag. Sometime decided to start a GoFundMe to reward them with a party. Total now up to $188K. It was $106K when I looked early in the day. Ha!

Not too surprising, I suppose. Maybe we can lay off the narrative of noble students engaging in a time-honored tradition of campus protest.

An Iranian college is offering free tuition to US students expelled for taking part in anti-Israel protests, as a professor there called them “our people” who would support Iran in a war with America.

They may need to switch majors to nuclear (bomb) engineering or terrorism studies, however.
