re: For Florida Week: Don't mess with the band!

Awesome. Glad to see the State Troopers doing work.
I love it when people think they can mess with TGBFTL and that it's just a bunch of pansy band nerds. It usually ends with people on their asses with bruises to show for it. I know we mowed some opposing fans down while I was in. Breaking ranks was NOT TOLERATED, and if you tried it around the Tubas or Drumline (where I was), the payback was even worse.
I'll personally never forget the Chick-Fil-A Bowl in 1996. Clemson's costume mascot (which is the most ridiculous looking Tiger mascot I've ever seen, btw) was jumping around and tauting us while we were marching through a GA Dome tunnel to the stands to the cadences. We were stopped, and he started creeping into the snare rank on the opposite side from me. The snare on the far end of the line, who was actually a pretty quiet and mild mannered guy, warned him twice to back off. When the mascot didn't, the snare player took him and body slammed him without taking off his drum or putting down his sticks. Then he just went back to playing. It was amazing. We were all yelling and laughing so hard we could hardly play. Every LSU fan around went insane. It was so awesome.
Clemson's mascot tried to get up and act like it didn't bother him, but there's no living that down. Every fan in sight was letting him have it, so he wised up and took off. I just wished it had happened where the cameras could see it.

I was at the game, but can not claim I witnessed this, but that is freaking awesome. Cudos to the TGBFTL folks and all they do. I really admire all of you guys! Again, what an experience.

I was in TB in the mid 80's. We kicked some asses a few times. I personally beat up frat boy one home game. He threw a full cup of Jack all over the Tubas and Baritones while sitting tin the stands. I was section leader so I went after his arse. The cops had to pull me off of him. He was ejected and I sat back down. It was awesome.

The best I ever saw was at the end of half time of the 03 SEC Champ game in the GA dome. UGA punter came out and stated warming up and punting thru the GBFTL as they came off the field. Linda Morehouse ran up behind him then jerked the kid off his feet and spun him around in one swift motion. Then she unleashed a hell storm of a verbal lashing on the kid. When she finished with him he meekly walked off the field.
