I’m not necessarily against it, but I didn’t boo. Definitely didn’t clap either. A&M is just consistently fricking lame and weird in every way. Their band is no exception.

Against it. Anybody that has any respect for marching bands knows A&M is a good band. There are a few that are the best at what they do and they’re pretty good.

Would you want opposing fans booing your band or cheering for it. We were up 31-0 at half. It’s my guess the people that booed looked like idiots and probably had never seen them perform.

They do exactly the same thing for every show. I’d hope they know how to do it.

From someone that actually was in a college band, their precision, especially in close quarters, and with all the diagonals is dammed impressive.

There was mostly boos for them when they started, but that changed to mostly cheers when they finished, so good for them for winning over the crowd, and classy of the lsu crowd

I was actually in a college band too (tiger band). When you do the exact same thing every damn game year after year, it is not the same as doing a unique show every week. Sorry. Not impressed.

Easy to have a cool halftime show when it’s the exact same halftime show for years.

I like the Aggy Band. But the booing is just because its the opposing school. Its not that serious.

Why should anyone take pride in booing a marching band?


Because they represent our opponent and they are douche bags

Against booing. Most or all of them will be serving in the Military and they were awesome. Our section cheered them at the end.

Yea I didn't hear any boos from South Endzone. Everyone cheered when they do that little crossing thingy maneuver.

Jacksonville State was the only band better than A&M to play in Tiger Stadium in recent memory. They were absolutely amazing.

For it. frick those fake army wannabes. None of them are enlisted in the military or have a binding contract to serve.

Therefore they're not military. fricking stolen valor posers.

Are you guys aware that they always do the exact same show. All they do is do the same military style box drill year after year. It’s looks cool but, it’s quite easy to perform.

Screw them and everything about that cult of a university.

Definitely for booing them. They practice the same routine up to 40 hours a week - they better get it right or there’s something seriously wrong. A high school band could march in a straight line; big deal. Instead of playing soldier, join a service academy or join the service.

Maybe we should just ignore them next time. Hold up newspapers and remain silent.

My other pro fan tip is to boo any pre-game ceremony when you are at an away game. The last one I remember was some SEC school was awarding their girls’ volleyball team with some award. They deserved to be booed. Bourbon helps. Geaux Tigers!
